Tuscany  » Le Rocchette

Overview of the Le Rocchette

The small and charming estate Le Rocchette lies halfway between Arezzo and Siena, close to the hilltop village of Lucignano, known for its streets built in circles around the main church.

Giorgio and Roberta della Seta, who are also the owners of the wine estate Tenuta di Gracciano on our website, acquired Le Rocchette 3 years ago. The location of the house as well as its compact size and shape seduced them instantly.

Most of Tuscany’s major sight-seeing spots can be reached in approx. 1 hour’s drive.

Think Florence and Siena, but also Arezzo, Pienza, Montalcino, and Montepulciano. And should this not be enough, cross the border to Umbria and discover Perugia, Città di Castello, Orvieto and Assisi, all in about 1 hour by car.
