About this property

Agriturismo Le Capanne: organic farm tucked away in the Tuscan hills-apt. Amelia

Apartment Amelia can easily accommodate 4 people. Comfortably renovated, it offers a covered veranda with a wonderful view of the sunset and the nearby faithful fig-tree with its gentle shade. The apartment is accessed by steps and comprises an open plan kitchen and living area, two bedrooms (one double, one twin) both with private bathroom (with shower). The spacious kitchen is fully equipped with oven, fridge and freezer, etc. and is open to the living area which has a traditional fireplace and comfortable sofas. The small terrace area is perfect for dining al fresco or for relaxing in the tranquil surroundings.

Agriturismo Le Capanne organic farm is immersed in the greenery of the Tuscan countryside and ideally located between Florence, Pisa and Siena. You will find yourselves in the heart of the countryside, tucked away in the enchanting hills but, at the same time, just a short drive from some of Tuscany’s most beautiful places such as San Gimignano and Volterra.

The agriturismo Le Capanne was originally our great grandparents’ traditional stone farmhouse. Without sacrificing modern comforts, it maintains the traditions of the past, with the vegetable garden and farmyard animals. At our agriturismo you can deeply inhale the peace offered by Nature. It may not be luxurious here, but there is simple comfort for your health and wellbeing: aromas, landscapes, sounds, tranquillity. Hopefully they will help you reconnect with your inner rhythm and Nature.
Upon arrival you will be greeted by our organic welcome basket.

The agriturismo contains only three apartments (Maria, Amelia, Andreina) to ensure a comfortable and exclusive holiday. They are fully furnished and each has a fireplace, private outside space and self-contained entrance.
A common area in the ancient heart of the agriturismo is available to read a book, browse our collection of farming and domestic implements that tell the story of country life in Tuscany over the last century (our “farming museum”) or or have a cup of tea.

Swimming pool (6 m x 12 m, seasonal opening) shared among the guests of the 3 apartments. Availability of extra beds. Barbeque. Private parking. Pets are welcome.
All utilities (electricity, gas, water), linens (bedroom, bathroom, kitchen – change once a week), parking and the use of swimming pool are included in the rate. The tourist tax of 1 euro/per person aged above 13/per day (for a maximum of 6 nights), the initial and final cleaning and the heating are not included.
Our wonderfully rich organic extra virgin olive oil and eco-cosmetics are available to buy.

We deeply value and respect the privacy of our guests but at the same time we are happy to share suggestions and tips about our area and its amenities. Our family house is within a 3 minutes walk of the agriturismo and we are always around in case you need anything or just feel like a chat.

Only 1 Km far, in the tiny village "Iano", there is a restaurant and a horse-riding.
In the surrounding area there are several organic farms which sell their products (do not miss the lovely pasta made with old grains!).

From our agritourism you can go for a walk in marvellous woods and landscapes, reaching the ruins of an old village.
Golf green is 6 Km far (Castelfalfi).
Nearest railway station is 18 Km far (Castelfiorentino).
Florence is 65 Km far.
Unmade road of about 1 Km (you need a car to get to our agriturismo).

Tranquil retreat with vistas and wildlife.
We had a delightful stay in Le Capenne.The owners were discrete yet very helpful,and we were often surprised by small welcome gifts such as a few fresh eggs.We stayed in Amelia,which was very clean and well equipped.The pool is very well maintained and surrounded by flowers,and a gorgeous view .This is a working farm,with flowers and vegetables growing ,and in the background is the accompaniment of the clucking of hens.The ethos of how the family keep the land is inspiring and yet the atmosphere is so restful. It is a spectacular setting with wonderful views and a lovely walk of 20 minutes into the tiny village,Ione.The restaurant there,Antica Borgo was excellent,and popular with families,and has a great menu. This an ideal location to see central Tuscany.Be aware there is no Wifi or air conditioning,neither of which were missed by us.

Traumhaft
Ein kleines Paradies, ich kann Le Capanne nur empfehlen. Wir hatten hier eine wunderbar entspannte Woche inmitten der toskanischen Hügel, umgeben von Olivenbäumen mit mit einer wunderschönen Aussicht. Die Unterkunft war sauber und gemütlich, der Pool fantastisch groß. Francesca und Ihre Familie waren fantastische Gastgeber, die uns freundlich empfangen haben und es uns an nichts fehlen lassen haben. Wir kommen wieder, keine Frage.

Highly recommended
Really a nice place and Francesca is the best host. The most beautiful surroundings and the children enjoyed the pool very much. Nice, clean and everything works. 10-15 min drive to Montaione, where there are restaurants and a COOP supermarket

Urlaub im Paradies
Wer Urlaub im Paradies machen möchte, ist in "Le Capanne" genau richtig. Es ist beeindruckend, mit welchem Engagement und welcher Leidenschaft Francesca und ihre Familie ihre Landwirtschaft betreiben und sie ihre Liebe zur Natur leben und sich ihrer Verantwortung für diese bewusst sind. " Le Capanne" liegt sehr idyllisch und bietet herrliche Ausblicke auf das Umland. Die Ferienwohnung ist liebevoll eingerichtet, sehr sauber und funktionell ausgestattet. Auf dem Weg zum gepflegten Pool wird man von Aromen diverser Kräuter begleitet. Nachts genießt man nicht nur den Sternenhimmel und das Zirpen der Grillen, sondern begegnet vereinzelt auch dem ein oder anderen Waldbewohner. Die zentrale Lage ermöglicht Ausflüge in bekannte Orte wie San Gimignano, Volterra, Siena, Pisa oder Florenz. Wer im Juli Urlaub in der Toskana macht, dem sei das viertägige Kleinkunstfestival im wunderschönen Certaldo zu empfehlen. Auch Ausflüge in die nahegelegenen Hochseilgärten sind lohnenswert. Lebensmittel sind in unmittelbarer Nähe zu erwerben und werden durch Geschenke der Familie aus dem eigenen Garten bereichert. So wurden wir mit Nektarinen, Pflaumen, Eiern, Zwiebeln und selbstgemachter Panzanella beschenkt. Zudem hat man die Möglichkeit die wertigen Produkte aus Oliven vor Ort zu erwerben. Für uns war der Aufenthalt in "Le Capanne" ein Geschenk in einer herrlichen Umgebung bei herzlichen, naturverbundenen Menschen, welche für uns unvergessen bleiben werden.

Wunderbare 2 Wochen
Sehr nette und herzliche Gastgeberin und Familie, immer hilfsbereit und ansprechbar, inklusive spannender Infos und Geschichten zu den Wildtieren, die Nachts bis ans Haus kommen. Die Ferienwohnung ist mit allem nötigen ausgestattet, wir haben überhaupt nichts vermisst, wir hatten genügend Platz und alles war sehr sauber. Ruhige, abgelegene, sehr idyllische Lage mit wunderschöner Aussicht auf die Landschaft und die Sonnenuntergänge. Perfekt für Wanderungen, leider war es uns dazu viel zu heiß, das müssen wir mal im Herbst nachholen. Zwischen Florenz und Siena gelegen, ist die Wohnung ideal für Tagesausflüge mit dem Auto. Wir waren wegen der Hitze aber nur jeden zweiten Tag unterwegs, dazwischen stundenlang im großen und sehr sauberen Pool, für die Kinder ein Highlight. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und super erholt, vielen Dank!
