Description from the manager
Casa Fatina is a gracious apartment of 110 square meters (about 1180 square feet) for seven people, with shared pool and garden. It is part of a farming estate surrounded by vineyards, and is located on a hillside 300 meters (about 980 feet) above sea level.
You will be between Florence and Siena , among the hills of Chianti, just a short distance from the town of Monteriggione and from Colle Val D’Elsa.
Casa Fatina has two double-bedded rooms, one bedroom with two single beds, two bathrooms, a living room with fireplace, and a spacious kitchen. In one of the double-bedded rooms there is also a single bed.
The apartment is... on the first floor, and is reached by way of an external staircase. At the foot of the stairs you will find a broad green space, furnished with table and chairs, for your exclusive use.
The swimming pool
In the shade of the oak you will find tables and chairs for the guests of all the apartments. In the evenings, outdoor lighting is available. You can dine in the open air, in a truly striking atmosphere!
The location
The apartment makes up part of an historic hamlet consisting of a large primary villa, a small group of artisan's and farm-worker’s houses, and the surrounding cultivated land. Surrounding the buildings is a four-hectare park (nearly ten acres), in which you can ramble to your heart’s content.
All this is actually part of an agricultural estate of 450 hectares (about 1100 acres), the principal product of which is excellent Chianti wine.
This hamlet originates in the 19th century, but the actual settlement dates back to 1650.
In front of the villa, you will still find the splendid formal Italian garden, with its symmetrical pathways, which was originally created in 1650. The villa is inhabited by the descendants of the original owners.
At the “shoulders” of the villa is the small hamlet of buildings, distributed around a central piazza. Here, three apartments have been renovated as vacation rental homes. The owners have taken great care not to alter the original “look" and traditional atmosphere of the hamlet.
Because of this, when you arrive here, you will sense the rich fascination of this place with its thousand years of history, where the exteriors of the houses have been left essentially unchanged, and daily life has a truly old-fashioned flavor.
All around you, you will see nothing but gentle hills covered with long rows of grapevines, lovingly cultivated now as they were in olden times, and various craftsmen who still carry out their work among these ancient buildings.
While you are on vacation here, it should be easy for you to slip into the tranquil atmosphere of the countryside, which transports you away from the present day.
You will return here to relax in peace, after a day spent visiting the artistic and historic treasures of Florence and Siena, as well as many other fascinating Tuscan towns!
Next to the main villa, there is a splendid building which contains the historic stables, constructed in the 1800s by a descendant of the family who was a great fan of riding and horses. These are made up of three large rooms with brick columns, and possess an extraordinary architectural elegance.
These rooms, with their accompanying facilities, can be used for weddings and other ceremonial events.
The hamlet is found on the slopes of Montagnola Senese, in the area in which the Chianti wines of Colli Senesi are produced.
Montagnola Senese is a protected area, a hillside of uncontaminated natural beauty, traversed by hiking trails, one of which passes close by the house.
The household furnishings and equipment
At Casa Fatina, you can reach your private patio by descending an external staircase that leads to a small loggia. From this loggia, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the houses and of the surrounding hills. On the patio, you will find a table with chairs, deckchairs, and an umbrella.
Entering into the living room, you will find that the atmosphere of historic country life has been carefully preserved: in one corner there is the fireplace, the terracotta bricks of the floor have been polished by time, and the ceiling is supported by wooden beams.
Around the fireplace, you will find a sofa and some armchairs. There is also a television. You will also find a fireplace in the spacious kitchen. Here, you will find the cooking zone and a table for meals. In the cooking area, you will find five burners, an oven, a refrigerator with freezer and a washing machine.
From one side of the living room, you can reach the double-bedded room, and from the other, a short corridor. From this corridor, there are doors opening into the two bathrooms, one with shower and the other with tub and hand-held shower head. The corridor also offers access to the other two bedrooms.
