Best: house with fireplace in organic farm

Willing to experience the real Tuscan countryside and get in contact with local people? Welcome to our farm! This bi-level house with fire place is perfect for a family or a group of four. The space This is a large and sunny bi-level house, perfect for quiet and peaceful vacation for families, couples or group of friends. At the ground floor there’s a wide kitchen-living room with fireplace. At the first floor, there are two bedrooms (one with double bed and one with two single beds that can be turned into another double) and two bathrooms. Just steps away is a large pergola for outdoor eating. Nestled on top of a large truffle forest, the house is part of a sun-filled “casa colonica” that has been separated into four apartments. While certain traditional architectural details have been preserved, we chose to introduce design touches creating a peculiar and unique environment. The rent is part of our 500 hectares organic farm. When choosing to stay with us, our guests have the unique opportunity of sharing the everyday life of a Tuscan working farm. They'll be in contact with gorgeous nature and with an Italian and international staff. Guest access Lost in the countryside and very quiet, this is a house that encourages solitude, while also offering space for gathering. The house has a shared swimming pool (10m x 5m, not heated) open from May to September. There's a shared laundry, BBQs and a shaded room with ping-pong table. The wild forests surrounding the house have multiple hiking trails that take you through both young and old woods, with glimpses of stunning views over the ragged landscape. You'll have a map of the property when you check-in. The main farm building is at 20 minute walk (3-5 minute drive - 1,2 km on a dirt road) downhill. At the office in the main farmhouse, Guido & his team are always happy to help & share tips and stories. There is also a small shop where we sell our own organic meat, olive oil, honey and white truffles (when in season), as well as other local and organic basic products. Around the main farm building, you can visit many animals – who often become the main attraction of our youngest guests: cows, pigs, cats, dogs… Other things to note You're going to stay on a working farm. We've dirt roads connecting the houses to the main farm building. Regular cars are fine, but low sport cars are not recommended for driving within the farm. This is an organic farm. That means living nature, including... insects, especially during summer. If you're allergic to bees or wasps, this might not be the right place for you. This is a place where to disconnect from a busy life: no Tv, no DVD players, no air conditioning, just (gorgeous) nature, BBQs, walks, and exploring. Bring appropriate shoes (if it rains it can be muddy) and expect real (yet very comfortable) countryside living. From the last week of September to December, only on specific days, you may find hunters on the property. They help keeping the wild boar population that lives within the farm under control (boars do love white truffles). Our farm is a working farm and, while the utmost care is taken to provide a family-friendly experience, there are inherent dangers present in such a natural setting. Some guests suggested to remember that vipers can be in the area, though it is extremely rare meeting them. Some others are afraid of driving in the dark, and we remind that the roads inside the far have no lights. By completing a booking, guests accept full responsibility for their safety and the safety of all members of their party. We provide linen and towels, kitchen cloths, hand soap, soap and sponges for the plates and toilet paper. Free wireless internet access is available from the house. In fall, winter and early spring the house of Brentina might not be connected to the internet between sunset and sunrise. This is because the internet signal is bounced by a solar-powered antenna, and having a few hours of sun the batteries might not have enough energy to work at night. Please consider to book another apartment if the internet connection is vital for you and you're coming in low season.
