Photos and Description of the Buonconvento vacation farmhouse rental

Imagine a huge space, so big as to seem infinite. a blaze of lights and colours, the primitive and unspoilt nature of the Crete (Sienese clayhills) surrounds you. It is a matter of seconds, but the emotion provoked by such a suggestive landscape will open up previously-unknownsensory horizons inside you. Words are no longer necessary to make you understand because you will feel your being in harmony with everything, spellbound by the regenerating force of nature. If you are looking for a place to relax and unwind, to feel amazement from a glance towards the skyline, or a walk, or some woodland animal crossing your path, for a sunset caressed by the fresh evening breeze, to experience emotion for fascinating and amazing artistic places immersed in such unique, calm and silent environments, COME TO the FARMHOUSE CUNINA in BUONCOVENTO, and you enjoy the Tuscan countryside. We offer 7 apartments: 2 with 2 bedrooms and 5 with 1 bedroom. The owner lives in the premises. At guests' disposal: Baby bed and high chair available free fo charge. Wi-Fi internet connection available free of charge Distances: Buonconvento with all kind of shops at 3 km. The Sienese Clay Hills are found to the south-east of Siena. This hilly, clay area - sometimes referred to as 'the Tuscan desert' - forms part of the municipalities of Asciano, Buonconvento, Monteroni d'Arbia, Rapolano Terme e S.Giovanni d'Asso. Until 2.5 millions years ago the area was under the sea. When the water receded, irregular sediments of clay and sand,containing fossils emerged. The slow erosion process generated many coves called "calanchi" or "biancone" and small dome-shaped hills with a peculiar light colour. The ground has amazing colours and is so maleable that anyone passing over it leaves tracks. Livestock paths, numerous vineyards, olive-groves, truffle-grounds, and lush forests with oaks, ilexes, broom and hawthorn can be seen here.. Travelling along the rural dirt roads,often located on hill ridges, seems like sailing among waves of earth and, when overlooked by an open sky and pushed by the wind, one feels very small. This land is crossed by the ancient Via Cassia road and is part of the Francigena pilgrims' route. It is rich with old parish-churches, abbeys, and ancient farmhouses and thermal springs, as well as travertine quarries which gave birth to the famous local handicrafts. Due to their peculiar landscape and the abundance of artistic and historical references, the Sienese Clay Hills are among the most famous and photographed environments in Italy. Set between the hills, the fields of grain and the cypress trees, the Clay Hills are a countryside heritage protected by UNESCO. Here mass tourism doesn't exist, it would be destructive and would devastate the intimacy and harmony eminating from these hills. In recent yeats efforts havebeen made to renovate local farmhouses and restart crop cultivation, which was abandoned in the '60s and '70s following industrial development. These rural smallholdings live again and often offer hospitality to tourists from all over the world as farm-holiday property and locations. This apartment has : 1 living room with kitchen, 1 bedrooms for 3 persons, 1 bathroom near the livingroom, one confortable loft with double sofabed and wc. total: 67 square meters Every flat has: Panoramic scenery.

Tuscan Home Away From Home

My wife and I cannot adequately describe how very much we enjoyed our five days in this gem of a Tuscan farmhouse. After five days of sightseeing Silvana's directions that got us from the Rome airport to this property in a rental car were perfect. Silvana's genuinely warm welcome, the sparkling clean apartment, and the peaceful solititude of this location were breathtakingly beautiful and stood in stark contrast to the bustle of Rome. Piergiorgio and Silvana are the perfect host and hostess who were sincerely happy to welcome us to their home. They met us with a bottle of their neighbor's wine, arranged a tour for us in Siena, recommended hikes in the countryside, and daily gave us directions and tips for trips to abbys and Tuscan towns. The Hedera apartment (one of five 1-bedroom apartments) was superbly maintained and pristinely clean. The grounds were beautifully landscaped and neatly trimmed. The gorgeous pool sparkled. The village of Buonconvento is conveniently close to shop for groceries, gas, and an inexpensive bite to eat in the evening. We were given access to Silvana's vegetable and herb gardens should we have wanted to cook. June was a perfect month to enjoy open windows, warm afternoons, and cool evening breezes. The highlight of each day was our evening antipasto of fresh fruit, cheese, and a Tuscan wine at our patio table while we soaked up the stunning view. Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer. We will be back.
