A rustic, character apartment located in idyllic Tuscan farmhouse situated on the hill in the Sienese Crete in the shire of Bounconvento, an ancient medieval village in the province of Siena. One of four apartments available in the 3,000 square metres of secure grounds. The owners are very hospitable, with a home upstairs, and host informal dinners on the covered dining area next to the pool each week during the summer. Also happy to arrange cooking courses for guests. The apartment sleeps four guests; two in one double bedroom plus two more on sofa beds.

Fornace apartment is one of four situated in 3,000 square metres of secure grounds. If good food and wine, glorious summer days, walks, cafe culture, history and art have a special appeal for you, you won’t go wrong with Tuscany. Florence, Siena, Moltacino, and San Gimigiano – names synonymous with culture, history and individual beauty – are all within an hour of your property here in Bounconvento, a little picturesque village where time has seemingly stood still. Monte Oliveto with its inspiring abbey and scenery is just 10 minutes drive from your apartment and the train to Siena runs behind the accommodation (the station is 5 minutes walk). With its shell shaped piazza, boutiques, cathedrals and churches it’s probably as beautiful a city as you will see in Italy – unmissable.
