Description of the Val di Merse vacation farmhouse rental

Podere Le Querci is an old Tuscan farm-house with strong walls built of natural stone. Situated on a hill-ridge it offers you beautiful views of the Merse valley and of the smooth hills of the “Colline Metallifere” and invites to spend relaxing holidays. It is surrounded by pastures, rows of olive-trees and high locust-trees. The apartments are newly renovated and well equipped, yet preserve the old Tuscan atmosphere (for instance, pavements made of cotto, ceilings with chestnut beams). All apartments have got terraces of their own, where one can enjoy the sun and find shade too. In the romantic courtyard there is a big covered terrace for barbecue and table-tennis. The small swimming-pool (4m diameter, 1,20m depth) is ecologically maintained without use of chemicals.

Details for Il Seccatoio

Il Seccatoio is a small house, situated near the main farm-house. Years ago it was a place for drying chestnuts, but now it is a nice and cosy one-room-apartment for two persons with a small kitchen and a bath-room. It can be heated by a cast-iron stove.

Car: recommended

The “Colline Metallifere” – where Chiusdino and Podere Le Querci are situated - create a harmonious landscape of smooth hills shaped by old extinct volcanoes. Here you can enjoy an ancient rural Tuscany with a lot of “macchia”, woods and small beautiful rivers. There are inviting places, creeks and a small waterfall (10 min. by car) for taking a bath in the hot summer season. Chiusdino and our place offer you a healthy climate, being situated at about 500m above sea level. Our small town, Chiusdino, is situated on top of a hill not far from Podere Le Querci (15 minute walk). Here you will find bars/pubs, restaurants with typical Tuscan food, doctors, a pharmacy and all necessary services. Chiusdino invites you to take walks through the narrow old streets and passages and to discover its historical background. It offers a varied popular program of cultural events (music, theatre, dance) in the summer.

Further details for this vacation farmhouse rental in Val di Merse, Italy

Sightseeing and excursions: Down in the valley of the river Merse is the famous abbey of San Galgano. Here you can see the sword that the saint Galgano planted in the rock 800 years ago. If you like hot thermal baths you can drive to Petriolo (35min), an old Roman bath. In “macchia” and forests and along the rivers Merse and Farma there are lovely paths for walking tours, going through vast wild-life reserves. Culture is also not far away. The city of Siena invites you with its unique “Campo”, where two times a year the world-famous horse-race “Il Palio” is held. And if you like to be by the seaside it is just a 45min drive.
