Tiglio Apartment in Chiarentana, Val d 'Orcia

Chiarentana consists of a beautiful fortified farm divided into six apartments in the hills that dominate the Val d 'Orcia. Casa di Tiglio is a charming apartment for four people overlooking the courtyard and the lime on one side, and the paddock and sunset on the other. The living room has original terracotta floors, a large fireplace, and antique furniture. The walls are painted terracotta color, the kitchen is warm and sunny, with an old oak table for meals. The space When the "La Foce" estate was bought by young newlyweds Antonio and Iris Origo in 1924, Val d 'Orcia was an arid, lunar and largely uncultivable land, where misery reigned. At that time Chiarentana was a large farmhouse that housed seven mezzadrile families, their beasts and barns, and was part of the La Foce company. Throughout their lives Antonio and Iris have dedicated themselves to bringing agricultural progress and social welfare to the 54 sharecropper families who lived on the farm, reclaiming it, building schools, kindergartens and an outpatient clinic, and rebuilding dilapidated homes. Recently included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites, Val d 'Orcia has remained miraculously intact and sought after for its natural beauty and cultural resources. Guest access Guests can participate in cooking classes, wonderful walks in the woods and crete, access the tennis court, the children's playground, as well as a common room to use as an office, although each apartment is equipped with WiFi, or as a TV/DVD space Registration Details IT052009B57P7ONERD
