Farmhouse holiday Il Moro, an old farmhouse, recently restored into flats of various sizes, respecting the original style and architectural elements.
Deep in the Tuscany country-side, it is an ideal place for those who wish to relax in the nature and for art lovers, only ten minutes from Siena, less than an hour from Montalcino, San Gimignano, Pienza and Florence.
For any requirement during the holiday we are always at your disposol and often to offer our guests just a good cup of coffee.
Farmhouse holiday Il Moro has a surface area of about 150 acres of organicly cultivated land: wheat, olives, aromatic herbs, pulses and a small vegetable garden so we have chosen to respect the natural cycle, refusing substances that might pollute and to value the produce as it grows naturally, which might give them a modest appearange but a priceless quality.
During the flowering of the plants, we place bee-hives in the fields and with the help of skilled workers we make honey.
We sell directly our own produce.
