Our farmhouse La Forra is located on a hilltop and surrounded by the natural beauty of vineyards and olive groves, typical of the Tuscan landscape. There are also forests of oak, chestnuts and pine trees.
The convenient geographical location allows you to reach the most famous art cities in less than one hour: Florence and Arezzo can be reached in 40 minutes, Siena and San Gimignano in about an hour.
The farmhouse is representative of Tuscan traditions thanks to its ongoing relationship with breeding and agriculture: In order to keep these traditions alive we live in connection with the surrounding nature and animals.
It is the ideal place for those who are seeking profound peace and quietness, combined with a warm and refined atmosphere within an unspoilt countryside.
