Description The Tuscan Farmhouse: Torrita di Siena

This home is part of a resort set between the gorgeous valleys of Val d'Orcia and the Val di Chiana. The decor isn't the most exciting, but you can't beat this picturesque location. An easy drive from quaint villages and the city of Siena, it's the perfect starting point for exploring Tuscany. Spread over two floors, the first floor is dedicated to the large master suite, and we're big fans of the private terrace – perfect for enjoying a glass of wine at sunset. There's a communal swimming pool and solarium for relaxing during summer, and a wine bar and restaurant for trying some of the region's best wines. Your host can also help arrange a plethora of exciting activities, including truffle hunting, wine tastings and cooking classes.
