ARMAIOLO
Situated between the Chianti area and Siena's famous clay gullies, this old farm stretches for 600 hectares over strawberry tree woodlands with 100 hectares of olive groves. The olives are still hand-picked and cold-pressed at the farm's own oil-mill; the result is an extra virgin olive oil of the highest quality.
Respecting the environment, the company generates clean energy through solar panels; In addition, produces red and white wine and breed pigs D.O.C. cinta Senese, indigenous breed in the area.
The property was once part of the Camaiori noble estate and included a castle which was well-known for its production of weaponry. In the 16th century its buildings and towers were destroyed by the Spanish forces, allied with Florence against Siena.
Three country houses though renovated still preserve their historic atmosphere: LA PALMIERA, a small mill on the banks of a pretty stream, SANTA MARIA the hunting lodge and, 500m from the first and 300m from the second, CASALINO, next to the oil-mill and swimming pool (12 x 6 m. - open June/Sept.),set on a low hill just above the motorway to Siena, a 20 minute drive. The apartments are all tastefully furnished and comfortable.
The stream near the Palmiera is particularly charming -directions available on the farm.
