Violetta at Piettorri, Monteguidi - Casole d'Elsa - Siena

Piettorri is a wonderfully restored Tuscan estate composed of two buildings accommodating 8 villas. It is located in the central Tuscan area between the coast and the Chianti, only a short distance from Casole d'Elsa, San Gimignano and Volterra. Siena is also within easy reach.

The pool is located in a lower position than the villas. It is a short walk down the slope from the buildings. From here there are excellent views of the rolling hills covered with fields and forests, typical of this area of Tuscany.

The main building houses five Tuscan villas, plus the caretakers apartment and a communal dining area. This dining area is opened to guests who wish to benefit from the traditional Tuscan meals that are offered by the caretakers.
