The property Poderi Val Verde is a still active farm with many animals and sport activities such as archery for everybody. The house was built in various steps over a period of at least 4 centuries , repeatedly extended as needs for more space arose. The resulting various levels within the house create a particular flair.
Prove of its history give the typical handcut oak beam ceilings, some of the original cottofloors, narrow doors, the old fireplace that people used to sit in to warm themselves, the original sandstone sink and many more little signs, that we shall gladly point out to you. Stair and doors sills of local grey sandstone show obvious signs of wear - signs that thousands of feet left over the last few hundred of years.
This farmhouse was renovated some years ago, but we did not stop there, retouches had been made in the last years. - all enhancing the typical Tuscan structure that we intentionally left untouched where possible . All rooms are handpainted in the typical warm colours of a Tuscan country home : shades of yellow, orange and green. Doors and windows are whitewashed , Its rustic ambiente is one of "... once upon the time ... leading you back i time.
