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 (15×7 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.

Warm colourings, terracotta floor tiles and open fireplaces are part of the Tuscan lifestyle.

On this video, listen to the owner Donata Origo as she talks about the restoration of Chiarentana, which took up to 20 years.

Fonte, the last apartment to be restored by the owner of Chiarentana, is comparable in charm and size to Casa di Bersagliere. It is reached over an exterior staircase. The owner’s aim has as ever been to create a warm and welcoming interior, which affords all the comfort we are accustomed to today.

The rooms with beamed ceilings and terracotta flooring are well sized and open onto the most exciting views of the valley, looking out over the garden and the Val d’Orcia on one side and the Mount Amiata on the other. The walls have been washed in a light terracotta glaze, creating a light and friendly atmosphere.

The decoration of Fonte is an eclectic mixture of family antiques, furniture made by the local carpenter and modern paintings made by the artist Seboo Migone, who is a son of the owner. In his work he was often inspired by the nature surrounding La Foce.

This apartment is an unusual place. Upon entering the house from the courtyard you will be stunned by the large and beautifully decorated living room, which has 3 windows looking out over the valley. The sofa and armchairs are grouped around a grand fireplace, whereas the antique dining table stands at the other end of the main room. A lovely old refectory table serves as a sideboard. Large modern paintings by the son of the owner complete the eclectic decor. The kitchen has a traditional look, but the technical equipment is up to most modern standards.

True to its origins the apartment has beautiful parquet flooring and particularly high ceilings, its tall windows casting in wonderful light from the quiet and sunny square it faces.

The bedroom has a super-king size bed, with a magical Venetian style canopy, a walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom with a large shower.

There is a second guest WC in the entry and a large well-equipped kitchen with a breakfast table where you can enjoy your freshly delivered morning croissant or prepare meals. All guests of the palazzo have access to a lovely shared terrace found on the 5th floor.
