Il Fienile Dei Cavalieri

In the land that was home to the Templars, nestled in the typical Tuscan landscape, lies the Knights’ Barn, a country house with an attached barn, built in the first half of the 1900s and transformed, after a long rural ’apprenticeship’, into an agriturismo. Its history is one of firsts: this farmhouse holds the first license granted by the province for agritourism activities: no. 1. The first apartment in the main building was restored and then put into operation in 1989; gradually, the others were added (a total of 6), along with the two hosted by the barn, which has also been renovated in respect of historical buildings, preserving the grilled walls, a guarantee of ventilation in the past, and today an unmistakable graphic and decorative element. On the ground floor and the first floor of the main building, there are two three-room apartments of 75 sqm with the typical elements of a Tuscan country house: small vaulted ceilings, terracotta floors, brick arches. Composed of two bedrooms, a living kitchen, and a bathroom, they have access to a gazebo with a barbecue for the typical barbecue under the stars that recalls the ancient festivities in the courtyard. Also on the estate, there are 4 two-room apartments of 50 square meters, one on the ground floor and one on the first floor, always with an equipped gazebo. In the barn, there are two mirror-image apartments, about 80 sqm each, on 2 levels, each consisting of three bedrooms, a bathroom, a living room with a kitchenette, and a beautiful external porch, bordered by wisteria and complete with a dining table and lounge, to enjoy the outdoors from breakfast until after dinner. Beyond the farmhouse, there is a large panoramic swimming pool with a jacuzzi, whose solarium was renovated in 2020, the year in which the bathrooms of the apartments were also renovated and equipped with travertine finishes. The ’Knights’ Barn’ is an ideal solution for those wishing to engage in an agricultural-accommodation activity but also to create a private home to retreat to during or outside the season. The location is perfect for a full immersion in Tuscany: the city of Pisa, with its Leaning Tower and also the international airport, is only 37 km away. This fortunate location and meticulous care of the structure (with careful and timely maintenance) and the garden have made it one of the most successful agriturismos in the area, already established and ready to face the new season immediately. Do you love the sea? The Marina of Cala de’ Medici, between Rosignano and Castiglioncello, with its 650 boat slips, is only 53 minutes from the property.
