Villa D'Orchia, luxury organic farm with private pool in Val D'orcia Sleeps 15.

A historic farmhouse on an organic farm just off the ancient Pilgrim's Way from Canterbury to Rome. Exceptionally well equipped, lots for the kids to do, sleeps 15.
La Francigena is a large high-specification Tuscan farmhouse sleeping up to 15. Set on an organic farm covering 240 acres, the farmhouse is 50 minutes’ drive from Siena and 15 minutes from Pienza.

There is a café and trattoria in the nearby village (2 miles away).

This fine farmhouse sits in tranquillity just off the ancient Pilgrim Way, which begins at Canterbury cathedral in England and ends at the Basilica di San Pietro in Rome. The Pilgrim Way was first mentioned in 876 AD and it is still in use today. Those walking the 1,900 kilometre route might decide to pause (meet up with friends and family?), for a couple of weeks R&R at La Francigena before embarking on the final leg of their pilgrimage. The more sybaritic sorts may simply decide this is a perfect spot for a fine holiday far from our noisy modern lives.

La Francigena is ideal for a special family celebration or for a group of friends to chill in picture-book-perfect Tuscany in a farmhouse offering lots of space for togetherness and pleasant privacy as required. Our guests will find ping pong and table football, as well as the 50 foot swimming pool.

Peggy, the "house dog" lives year round at La Francigena. She loves visitors and is especially good with children. If you'd rather not have Peggy around, she has her own quarters down by the shaded parking area.

She's no bother at all and is fed each day when the pool is cleaned, so she's pure pleasure and no responsibility. You can choose to let her join you or, if you would prefer, she can stay in her own spacious accommodation.

The enthusiastic cook will find all the heart could desire at La Francigena, including a pizza oven. This old farmhouse was once 4 large apartments, but the friendly and capable owners, Antonella and Vanessa, decided to change that. Their clever changes have ensured that catering for large groups is a delight. Nowadays, the farmhouse has one large, well-equipped main kitchen with a huge dining table, where large-scale cookery is easy. However, the clever trick was to keep the other four kitchen-come-sitting-rooms too. Now guests have a wonderful set of choices - join everyone in the main kitchen or, just round the corner from your bedroom, there will be a small-scale kitchen with all you need to make a midnight feast, get an early morning coffee or relax with a book in comfortable peace. Togetherness, as well as discreetly private relaxation away from the others is easy at La Francigena!

Antonella and Vanessa have set up a large BBQ on a shady terrace by the house together with an equally huge outdoor wood burning oven for large-scale cookery. There is a 2nd barbecue and large dining table in a shady gazebo by the pool. There are lots of tables and chairs around farmhouse and its large pool so you can eat under the stars by night or in the shade by day.

There's furniture enough for the young to create their own private outdoor dining location if required. In short, catering for a large group here is a pleasure.

If you'd prefer to eat at home but without the effort of cooking, Vanessa or Antonella can arrange a chef to cook for you.

La Francigena is a delightful house with so much space both outdoors and indoors that even the largest group will never feel squeezed. Smaller groups who'd nevertheless like to enjoy the excellent facilities and the great location at La Francigena will also feel entirely at ease in the intimacy of this exceptionally well managed farmhouse. If you are looking for an outstanding property at a great price - you have just found it!



Location

The farmhouse is beautifully located: for garden lovers the famous gardens of La Foce are only 15 minutes’ drive away, stunning Siena is an hours' drive away and the thermal springs at Bagno Vignoni are just 11 kms away (Saint Catherine of Siena and Florence's Medici family enjoyed taking the waters here). Pienza, another Renaissance stunner of a town, is 15 minutes’ drive away and admired not only for its illustrious history, but also for its flavoursome ewe's milk cheeses and its fine wrought iron work. Small, picturesque villages abound in this area, offering eateries from the most basic to the most elegant. Gallina is almost too small to call a village, but it has an excellent trattoria.

Exceptional Agriturismo in Tuscany
This historic Tuscan farmhouse has been renovated to capitalize on spaciousness, multiple bedrooms with private baths, and a truly unique old European feel. Situated in a valley surrounded by beautiful fields and hillside villages, every night offered beautiful sunsets only to be eclipsed by amazing sunrises. Our caring, friendly host immediately made us feel welcomed and was eager to accommodate any needs that our group might have. Our family was very comfortable, taking day trips to nearby villages, or even heading out to appreciate the history of larger cities, such as Florence. This is such a special spot. Flowers were in bloom all over the property and the poolside cabanas provided shade to relax in. We took daily walks in the valley, enjoyed local cuisine and local wines. We highly recommend this accommodation.

Tuscany family trip
Spacious and clean. Excellent for large family. We were a group of 10 adults and 3 children. There was plenty of room to accommodate family meals yet private space when needed. Antonella was a great host. She was responsive to all our questions before the trip and took care of all our needs when we were at the villa.

Absolutely beautiful, spacious villa
This villa is stunning and I would highly recommend it! My group of 12 (six couples) had more than enough room. There are also many kitchens and common spaces, which make this friendly for large groups and families. The grounds are stunning and the pool is dreamy. We spent 3 nights there and I wish we could have spent 3 weeks! The home is very well appointed with all the amenities you could need (hair dryers, laundry, towels, soaps, cooking equipment, pool towels, etc). Note: they are very strict about check out times!
