Book your dream Italian farmhouse vacation now!

Have the winter blues? Dreaming of a summer vacation in Italy? Maybe not the whirlwind tour of the major cities, but a relaxing vacation with friends, enjoying an authentic Italian experience - shop local markets, prepare meals in your Tuscan kitchen with herbs freshly picked from the garden, visit small wine producers and taste wines you cannot get at home, have your own bocce ball tournament or just lounge by the pool with beautiful views of the Tuscan countryside.

Our property, called Podere Erica, is situated on over 30 acres of grape vines, olive trees, pastures and woodland, yet it is walking distance to a charming village with many shops and only minutes from the Superstrada that will take you to the picturesque hilltop villages of Tuscany as well as famous medieval cities of Siena, Volterra and Florence.

Our beautiful 500 year-old stone farmhouse has been lovingly remodeled to modern standards, like air conditioning and wi-fi, while still retaining its characteristic charm. There are 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms with upstairs and downstairs living areas – plenty of room for a family reunion, or a group of friends celebrating that special birthday or retirement.  

We have an incredible offer for all you dreamers and procrastinators!

A special last-minute discount of 20% off our rental rate for any remaining week in 2016, plus our gift to you of one of the following unique experiences …
