Overview
Chiarentana was once a medieval fortress and has been 'de-gentrified' over the centuries, becoming one of the main farm buildings on the property. The 6 apartments are still named after the peasant families who last lived here. The square building surrounds a large, shady courtyard planted with climbing roses, lavender and a deliciously scented lime tree. The arched entrance admits a cool breeze and leads out into the wide landscaped garden with a pool (15x7 m) and a tennis court. The view from here is spectacular and surveys the entire valley, but your eye will finally settle on the dominating Monte Amiata, Tuscany's highest mountain. The garden is furnished with tables and chairs for all apartments, each far enough from the other to guarantee each party sufficient privacy.
Just a few steps lead from the courtyard into the light and friendly living room. The windows of both bedrooms look out over the entire valley. The kitchen was rebuilt in spring 2003. Warm colourings, terracotta floor tiles and open fireplaces are part of the Tuscan lifestyle.
Wifi Internet access a specially appointed room at Chiarentana, accessible to all guests.

Guest reviews
When me and my husband thought about travelling to Tuscany, never imagined it would be as great as it turned out to be. Its landscape is thrilling, its food magnificent, its wine superb…and, of course, its people so nice and friendly. This is the ideal spot to relax and be with your dears. It really exceeded our expectations. See you soon La Foce!
