La Masseria Piccolo

This typical Tuscan farm house is only 9 Km from Sant'Angelo in Colle, on the hills with a beautiful view on the Orcia River, from the Banfi castle and Argiano. Montalcino, with its castle, is only 18 Km away. By driving along a panoramic country road one gets to the very famous Sant'Antimo Abbey.

The farm was lovingly refurbished by the owners who tried to respect the Tuscan architectural style. The building is divided into three flats which can be let together as if it were a big villa.

One of the flats in on the first floor and can be reached by means of an external staircase. The other two flats are on the ground floor. Each flat has its own clear space outside. There is a swimming pool (5x10m and 1,50 m deep). The owners produce three different types of DOC Montecucco wine (Red, Sangiovese and Reserve), extra virgin oil, emmer and chickpeas.

Below the three flats there is a large common room (about 90 sq m) with a massive fireplace and a tennis table. This room can be reserved by guests by paying € 250,00 a week.

The following are the three flats in the farm:

Alto (65 mq)

This flat will be ready in 2012. It is on the first floor and is reachable by means of an external two- flight staircase. It has a living room with a cooking area, a sofa, SAT TV, two bedrooms and two bathrooms with a shower. It has also a terrace where one can take meals.
