THE VECCHIA APARTMENTS
Sleeps 4 to 9 – Prices range from 980 euros to 2185 euros per week.
At the end of a winding 1,5 km unmade road lined with heather, corbezzoli (strawberry trees) and oaks in the lovely countryside of the Crete Senesi (Siena area) lies this restored 18th century farm, which is divided onto five apartments that have been created from the careful restoration of an Estate which used to be a famed thermal spa. Its waters were well known already in the 15th Century for curing arthritis and rheumatism. One attractive bath is still active, the water of the bath is about 32 degrees Celsius and guests of the farm may use it year round. From the peaceful grounds you can enjoy the views and sunset each day and relax on your private patio with your friends and family. Each apartment is comfortably furnished in “rustic” Tuscan style with antiques. Each unit has its own entrance, and is equipped with satellite TV and Dvd player. If you want an authentic Tuscan experience in the countryside, but near to visit all the major sites of Siena, San Gimigano, Florence etc. then this may be the place for you!
On the ground floor of the main house there is a laundry, and communal rooms equipped with stereo, satellite TV, DVD player, table tennis, a small library, a piano and a well equipped kitchen.
