THE PLACE.
View on Siena.
The farm holiday is on the crest of a hill, in panoramic position:
Siena is on the farehead hill, and you can distinguish the most characteristic
monuments.
View on S.Abondio. The view on the country reaches until the Amiata Mount,
over vineyards, olive groves, field of grain, wood and ancient peasant houses.
View on La Torretta. The farm holiday belongs to a group of houses along the
road of Saint Apollinare, a cultural route called "the Chianti wine road".
You can therefore see the Siena's truth, with its farm-yards and vine-yards.
The garden. The garden around the old barn offers the shadow of a secular
horse-chesnut and some games for children; 2 bicycles and 2 mountain bike
are available, and near there is also a bus stop (4 runs/day). Pets are welcome.
The black rooster, symbol of Chianti. We have a black rooster of Livornese
race with two hens, braces of rabbits, ducks, geese and their young; there
are also cats and cows on the pasture. Introduction to farm's activities.
Consolida regalis. At the farm holiday you can observe different kinds
of vegetation: everywhwew there are the typical plants of a moderate climate
are prevalent, while along the ditch you see some plants of humid climate,
and on the stone wall you see some plants of a barren climate, like the Madonna
flower.
Siena. La Torretta is an ideal started point in order to visit one of the most
beautiful city of art, and the routes towards Chianti, Crete, Metalliferous
Hills, destinations of cultural, naturalistic and gastronomic tourism.
