La Pieve - the house next to the church

To the right of the church of Argenina, to which it owes its name, it has the persuasive gaze of its 2 small arches facing west. Perhaps it was once the parish priest's house, or the one where you cooked in the large wood-burning oven, who can say? The space Like the other large houses it has two rooms and only one bathroom, but with a priceless view. The wonderful fireplace that once alone warmed it, separated by an arch from the kitchen and both connected to the loggia, are an invitation to cook, talk and be together. A place to live Borgo Argenina since the Middle Ages has peeped through the hills that unite Siena and Florence. Colorful vineyards and fascinating olive groves we now call Chianti Classico. We have the houses where the peasants spent a simple and serene life, the ovens where they made bread, the wells for water and the church for the Sunday feast. Our houses are simple but refined, certainly never mundane. The rooms have personality and details to spare. The 'village atmosphere, the sunsets and sunrises, the tranquility that pervades you. Let's not waste words, better to try. POOL We're pretty sure that in a medieval hamlet the peasants didn't have a pool, certainly some fountain. We built it where the hill slopes down to the vineyards, so that it gently disappears from view. It has a simple shape but is large enough for all our guests. The light color reflects and softens the deep blue of the summer sky. BREAKFAST, Don't tell me you're just having coffee.
