The remaining time you will explore cities like Florence, Siena and Montepulciano, as well as the quaint villages of the Chianti area, alternating cultural and historical guided tours with wine and food tasting lectured by expert wine makers and local organic producers. 20 km east of Siena, between the Chianti hills and the area of the Crete Senesi. You will be totally immersed in the natural beauty of the Tuscan countryside: olive trees, vineyards and cypresses, and within walking distance of a charming medieval town. The property was once a convent, where it had a great reputation for its exceptional products from vineyards, olive groves and natural woodlands. Today it is a family farmhouse offering hospitality, where the owners continue to specialize in local organic techniques to ensure the highest quality products: DOGC wines, extra-virgin olive oil and the cultivation of grains, fruits and vegetables from the orchards.
