This is a classic Tuscan fattoria with agricultural operations in the countryside 12 km southwest of the centre of Siena.
The buildings of the Fattoria consist of two separate groups of buildings: a) The FATTORIA with manor house, adjoining chapel and agricultural outbuildings were partly built by the well-known historical architect Agostino Fantastici (1782-1845). This part of the building consists of the manor house and the chapel, as well as the factor's house, now used as a storeroom, and other buildings that were used as warehouses, storerooms, sheds. b) On a hill in a quiet position 300 m from the manor house is a BORGO consisting of a 3-storey country house with outbuildings. The two residential floors of the country house were inhabited until a few years ago, the basement and the outbuildings need to be restored from scratch.
