Tuscan Hillside Haven with Olive Grove Views

THE FARMHOUSE This is a classic stone Tuscan farmhouse that dates back to the XIX century. It has been fully and authentically restored, using original materials such as local stones and chestnut wood. The location of the property, wich extends over 3 hectars, offers magnificent views of the Tuscan hills and to the front of the Tyrrhenian coast stretching as far as Corsica Island. The sun drenched olive groves, the smell of the wild time and herbs in the summer, the clusters of wild flowers in the spring, the clear unpolluted air, the silence, make this little corner of Tuscany unique. The farmhouse "Le Ligoracce" gives you the chance to naturally experience country life style in a totally immersive way, among genuine sounds and fragrances LIFE STYLE Trekking, Mountain Bike, Buddhism and more...in and around Castellina! Bring your mountain bike if you are the sporty type, or enjoy new free roads among the fields on your motorbike, visit and enjoy birdwatching in the WWF protected natural area at the pictoresque Lake of S.Luce. Many of the villages, which are just a few minutes drive from the farmhouse, offer several places of interest: the famous Buddhist Centre of Pomaia for those who seek a place of great peace and spir-ituality, or, to refresh from a hot day at the beach, nothing better than the Casciana terme SPA!
