Profile
 
The farmhouses are located no more than 2,5 km from the medieval town of San Gimignano in the district of Siena. The "Casale del Cotone" as well the "Rocca degli Olivi" are surrounded by 70 acres of vineyards and olive trees. They were erected in the 17th century at the bottom of the hill where is located the ancient Roman church "Pieve di Cellole" which inspired Giacomo Puccini to compose the opera "Suor Angelica".
 
The buildings have been restored with full respect to their centennial history and special care has been taken selecting antique furniture characteristic of the Tuscan tradition.
Each bedroom has been individually designed, most of them also have wonderful views to the surrounding hills. For romantics and for special occasions fresh flowers and wine may be arranged. During the cold season breakfast is served in the hall where in past times the owner's friends used to meet before the hunting. In good weather the guests may sit in the century-old garden enjoying the beautiful panorama of Tuscany's rolling hills.
