Farmhouses Montaione Florence Tuscany Holiday Rentals in Italy

Property description

We are situated in an estate of 500 hectares half of which is occupied by cultivated and grazing fields, the other half by an age-old wood rooted in tufa (volcanic rock). Its soft hills are notably reminiscent of the Sienese landscape and its lush oak woods are rendered unique by the phenomenon of "calanchi" (erosion furrows) – spectacular precipices that open up within the rock itself. The land, through its intrinsic nature and as a result of management, has several unique features that distinguish it from the typical morphology of the Tuscan countryside. It does not feature the typical geometrical shapes of vineyard and olive groves, instead it has preserved a wilder, more rugged appearance, which is no less enchanting. The natural predisposition of the land to the raising of the highly-regarded "chianine" cows and the presence of white truffles has allowed the farm management to concentrate their efforts on producing goods of highly refined quality.
