The agriturismo
Podere Magione is located on hills planted with vines and olive trees a few kilometers from San Gimignano. The farmhouse has two apartments and is located along one of the oldest routes traveled by pilgrims opposite an old mansion. The property also has a wine cellar and a wood-burning oven, vineyards, olive groves, a flower garden and chicken coop. The farm produces wine and extra virgin olive oil.
The accommodation
The farmhouse has recently been renovated while keeping all the typical aspects of the structure intact. The old cellars have kept their brick vaulted ceilings while all the other rooms have the ceilings of the old Tuscan farmhouses in terracotta tiles and wooden beams.
At guests' disposal are 2 apartments and 1 room with bathroom. All accommodations, furnished in rustic Tuscan style, have independent entrances, private outdoor spaces, linen provided both in the room and in the bathroom, mosquito nets, panoramic views.
Cypress Apartment: consists of bedroom with two beds, bathroom with shower, dining room/kitchen (dishwasher, fridge
and
freezer), large panoramic terrace.
Olive Apartment: consists of double bedroom, bathroom with shower, dining room/kitchen (dishwasher, fridge and freezer) and paved area inside the garden
.
Acacia Room: room with double bed, bathroom with shower and nice outdoor relaxation area. Solution for 2 people: it is possible to choose the Cypress apartment.
Solution for 4 people: we recommend the combination of the Olivo apartment and the Acacia room: in fact, the two lodgings can be put in communication through an internal door.
Solution for 6 people: it is possible to rent the property exclusively, leaving the lodgings completely independent of each other or creating a single one by opening two internal doors .
Common areas: large fenced garden, parking, laundry area, wood-burning oven.
Advantages: all accommodations are arranged on one floor (ground floor) so ease of access, windows with exclusive views, high and breezy location, owner residing nearby, animals allowed by prior arrangement, vegetable garden with seasonal products available to guests, sale of farm products.
Activities and surrounding
The farmhouse is located in the countryside of San Gimignano, among hills covered with olive groves and vineyards between Val d'Elsa and Chianti. Thanks to its ideal location, it is possible to reach in a short time those that are the most beautiful cities rich in history and art in Tuscany: San Gimignano (8 km), known for its Vernaccia wine and its towers, stands on a hill dominating the Val d'Elsa; Florence (55 km), a city that preserves an exceptional heritage of art, a splendid testimony to its centuries-old civilization. Great works are collected in the city's many museums; Siena (40 km), famous for its Palio horse race, is a city of great value both historically and culturally, concealing artistic beauties of great value; and again: Certaldo, Volterra, Lucca, Pisa, Arezzo. Also not to be missed are Monteriggioni Castle, Chianti, the Crete Senesi, the village of San Vivaldo-Montaione, the Val d' Orcia, the Val d'Elsa countryside with its vineyards and olive groves, and the Val d'Era, rich in clay hills, crags and salt marshes. Inevitable stops are then the beautiful churches, monasteries, walls and medieval towers that dot the entire area.
Guests can also organize horseback rides, rent bicycles, cars and vans for minitours, go trekking along the Via Francigena (Podere Magione was one of the lodgings that welcomed pilgrims during their passages on the Francigena) and fishing (in the nearby Elsa River), participate in tastings of wine and oil produced by the farm, visit its cellars, walk among the vineyards (harvest in September/October), and pick fruit from the garden. Lovers of homemade bread and pizza will be able to use the old wood-burning oven, which is still working , together with the owners.
