In the very heart of an unknown and unspoilt part of Tuscany where life still follows the pace of nature sits Marcigliana, an authentic Tuscan farmhouse surrounded by stunning views and wild nature. Marcigliana is now an organic farm producing Pecorino cheese, olive oil and vegetables. The farmhouse offers 3 apartments and an independent barn, all restored with care and attention to detail. A large garden offers an inviting swimming pool and magnificent views over the surrounding hills and the nearby hilltop village of Radicondoli. Besides Radicondoli, the view includes Montecastelli and Monteguidi and stretches as far as the Etruscan city of Volterra and the wonderful San Gimignano, both within 40 minutes motoring. The farm extends over more than 90 hectares of eco-farmed land. Besides poultry, we breed Sardinian Sheep for the production of milk and cheeses.
