Description
Casa vostra in Toscana, nella terra del Brunello
La nostra casa è silenziosa e rilassante. E’ in una casa a schiera in stile toscano, con un piccolo giardino ed un albero di olivo che abbiamo chiamato Gina come la nostra amatissima nonna. Ingresso indipendente, zona living con cucina, giardino, 2 camere da letto ed ampio bagno.
Siamo due sorelle, Minnie e Jenny. Stessi genitori ma una arrivata 22 anni e un giorno dopo l’altra.
Età diverse, diverse personalità, diversi luoghi: Jenny vive a Dublino mentre Minnie vive in Toscana. Eppure abbiamo entrambe la stessa mission nel cuore: ospitare nelle nostre case persone da tutto il mondo. Ci sono esperienze che ognuno dovrebbe vivere almeno una volta per sentire e apprezzare la bellezza e il significato della vita: la natura, il sole, il vino, l’amore, l’empatia, la pace e il relax.
Per questo speriamo davvero che scegliate di rendere la nostra casa la vostra casa, per staccare la spina e rilassarvi, circondati dal paesaggio della Val d’Orcia, Patrimonio Unesco e la sua splendida natura.
Colline, cipressi, vigneti di Brunello e sorgenti di acqua termale riempiranno i vostri occhi e i vostri cuori con meraviglia. Sarete capaci di sentire l’immensità dell’universo trascorrendo le vostre serate guardando un luminoso cielo stellato mentre sorseggiate un bicchiere di Brunello nel nostro giardino.
Dal nostro giardino potete ammirare e fare una passeggiata di 5 minuti a Sant’Angelo in Colle, pittoresca frazione di Montalcino.
Questo antico villaggio è posto sulla cima di una collina ed è circondato da infiniti vigneti di Brunello
E’ un angolo della vera Toscana e mantiene un’atmosfera tipica e originaria.
Ispira molti artisti che arrivano qui da tutto il mondo per dipingerne il paesaggio e i tramonti mozzafiato che la Val D’Orcia può offrire.
Amiamo aprire ai nostri ospiti una porta verso la vera vita toscana.
Possiamo organizzare presso aziende familiari, degustazioni di vino, formaggio e miele così come escursioni in bici e giri in mongolfiera e aiutarvi ad impostare escursioni in Val d’Orcia ( incluso una visita ad un allevamento di alpaca).
Al fine di farvi veramente godere la Val d’Orcia, vi consigliamo di venire in auto.
Non vediamo l’ora di incontravi!

Response from the owner Dear Paul, since you left, the cat Sophya, does more "miao"during the day and I think she is very disappointed you aren't here anymore. Thank you for the beautiful words you say about us and mostly about Sant'Angelo of Montalcino. People who was born here and spent their all lives working in the vineyards, will appreciate your words. Whenever you want, let me know and I will prepare bread for you two. :-) Minnie
