About this property

Fattoria San Paolo is a Farm House among the hills of Central Tuscany. Since we saw it for the first time we imagined a new future for this old and beautiful (but completely ruined!) place and we started renovating it. It took about 3 years of work, but now it is as beautiful as it was. In the farm we produce organic extravirgin olive oil. Since 2009 the farmhouse is open for guests (with 3 apartments and 4 lofts). Our swimming-pool is an organic one (no chemicals in water) and looks like a natural pond. Our guests are welcome to swim together with frogs!

Why should you choose Fattoria San Paolo? One thing is our focus on low environmental impact.
Our most important hallmark is our organic swimming-pool. It is a big pond-featured setting, with really low environmental impact. This works with phitodepuration, no chemicals. We produce electricity for the circulation pumps with sun panels and we use water from a natural spring (located in the property) to refill the pool.
Another reason to stay at Fattoria San Paolo is that it is in central position for Tuscany exploration. You can choose several nice day- adventures, both discovering small villages or visiting the most famous art cities. A day-trip to the beaches is also easily possibile.

Lovely accommodation in a beautiful spot

An idyllic, peaceful location and very friendly hosts. Our three children spent hours swimming and wildlife spotting in the natural pool.The accommodation is spacious and clean. There are plenty of beautiful spots to sit and relax outside, listening to the frogs singing! The surrounding area is very pretty with plenty of hillside villages to explore. It's a bit of a drive to the Tuscan cities such as Florence and Sienna but it was worth it for the peace and quiet.

Classic traditional and airy fattoria

What a fantastic property, Chiara and her husband have renovated the farmhouse in a traditional style with all the modern necessities, the appartment was large clean and airy. The setting is lovely with views across the fields, the natural pool is very large and surrounded by Waterlilles and frogs and aquatic life, the water is clear and filtered, and there are boardwalks to jump in from or simply lounge on. Their own pizzeria is open at the weekends where some of the best pizza we had can be enjoyed in the restaurant with their own olive oil, the prices are very good and the hospitality very friendly. If you are looking for a holiday in natural surroundings, great facilities in a lovely location for exploring Tuscany this is it.

cosy and "home-like" property, friendly hosts

Together with my fiancee, we spent one week in Tuscany and we were accommodated in Fattoria San Paolo, Quercia apartment. As soon as we arrived there we realized that it was the best choice we could make for this part of our vacation. Location details: - a car is recommended for the following because the nearest shops, supermarkets are a few km away; rented bikes could be a good option too for the aficionados - beautiful scenery, low traffic even in august. - the property is located in the middle of Tuscany with easy access to tourist hot spots and (almost one hour drive to San Gimignano, Voltera, Siena, Monteriggioni, etc...) - also about 1h and 30min drive to Pisa and Florence - around the property there is a bunch of small, medieval villages that also deserve attention. I recommend a walking tour through all villages here. You will find almost empty streets during midday, charming Italian locals and small "osterias" where you can enjoy a great local meal or a delicious cappuccino. About the property: - the apartments are in a charming Italian, old style, building. Next to the main building there is another small building used as small family restaurant for dinner on Thursdays to Saturdays. - the advertisement is 100% accurate - spacious and cosy apartment; we felt like home - wireless internet access available - parking available - the apartment has everything that it needs to make your stay as comfortable as possible. If you feel that you miss something just ask Chiara and she will help you. We asked her one day to about a washing machine and she said: "don't worry. just had me the clothes and I'll take care of them". Next day we found the clothes neatly folded waiting in a bag in front of your apartment. - the property is environment friendly - they use solar panels for electricity About the small restaurant: - open on evenings Thursday to Saturday - they cook local dishes, and they are delicious - the best pizza I ever tasted. Absolutely delicious - very good local wine - the prices were more than affordable - and the best proof that this is a good restaurant is that I saw plenty of local people coming here for dinner. - PS: try the 4fromaggi and the deserts As a conclusion: Chiara and her husband are really friendly people. I hope we can make time every year to visit them, at least for a few days. This place really "charges your batteries". I will definitely recommend it to all my friends and to everybody that is intere

Fattorio San Paulo

The listing description and the photos cannot do justice to the Fattorio San Paulo. The setting is breathtaking, the apartment and the farmhouse beautifully furnished and the pool a delight. Our family had the most wonderful holiday - none of us wanted to leave! The pool is very large and my children were in all day, swimming and taking photos of frogs and newts. Chiara was the perfect host - so friendly and charming, any request wasn't too much bother. The pizzas in the restaurant were superb - wonderful to have a few steps away from the apartment. The holiday was spent either at the pool or exploring the medieval villages or further afield to Sienna and Florence. We can't recommend this property enough -thank you Chiara and family for a simply perfect holiday!

Wonderful welcome in a gorgeous place

My family and I cannot praise Chiara and her family enough for their wonderful welcome to Fattoria San Paolo. They were so kind and friendly! The apartment was delightful, clean and well appointed: the photos do not do it, nor the pool, justice. The pool was delightful - and huge. The views are spectacular and atmosphere relaxing. The location is a little removed from the main tourist centres of Tuscany - which we liked because it meant it was very quiet! - but places such as Siena, Volterra and Massa Maritima are within easy reach, as well as numerous medieval hilltop villages. Since the shops are a short drive away Chiara arranged for bread to be delivered every morning, and on Thurs, Fri and Sat nights offers traditional Tuscan pizzas on site - which were the most delicious we have ever tasted! We would not hesitate to recommend Fattoria San Paolo for a holiday combining relaxation and cultural visits.
