STATE AND FINISHES
The property was first mentioned for the first time in a document from the 13th century: here a farm is described as built in the same location as the current Agriturismo. With the fall of the Republic of Siena in 1559 (signing of the treaty of Cateau-Cambrésis) the farm, together with an ample selection of surrounding land was auctioned and then bought by a noble Sienese family. The building was expanded in the following years, with the last works being completed around 1760 (given this date is carved on one of the supporting walls).
During the restoration, it was discovered that in the Renaissance, where today the annex is located, there was a brick furnace. While digging for the underground garage, workers discovered many original bricks which, once cleaned, have been used to pave the outdoor area of the property.
 
The buildings are nowadays typical Tuscan rustic farmhouses, with supporting walls made out of stone and masonry and all the peculiar traits are still visible, among which wooden beams, terracotta floors, natural wooden bricks and even a unique sundial on the southern wall of the guest house.

EXTERIORS
The estate is made up of 43.2 hectares of land, mainly used to produce cereals (41.7 ha). The remaining surface is split between olive grove (1.3 ha) and high woodland (0.2 ha).
