PODERE IL LECCIO Only 18kms from the sea at Castiglione della Pescaia in one of the most beautiful of the Maremma's locations, this farm's history reflects the history of the land itself. This farm was built around 1930 with an unusual structure: a central two-storey nucleus with stables on one side and woodhouse, pig sty and oven on the other.
The old building, over 60 metres long, now holds guest accommodation and the painstaking restoration, supervised by the architect owner, has preserved its original charm; brick arches, stone fireplaces, high wooden and terracotta ceilings.
Centuries-old trees, like the majestic ash and oak, offer vast areas of cool shade, bordering the fields and olive groves beyond the large garden around the farm and swimming pool (6 x 14 m. - open May/Oct.). The surrounding landscape includes several small medieval hilltop towns (Vetulonia, Buriano, Montepescali) overlooking the plains and lend a picturesque frame of twinkling lights at night.
The owners, Letizia and Rodolfo, left Florence in 2001 and moved to this beautiful corner of the Maremma. They delight in welcoming their guests, sharing interests and experiences. Rodolfo's great passion is modern art. As an artist he shapes and moulds a whole range of unutilised objects and materials: the tortoise made from steel discs and the huge whale fashioned from old fishing nets are only two examples of his unusual art gallery which will fascinate both old and young! Included in the price a guided visit to the garden with the artist at fixed times.
Free wi-fi in all the apartments.
