The heart of the
farmhouse dates back to 1200 which in time has been added to, providing snug double rooms
each comfortable and gifted with independent services. the restruction of the farmhouse
has kept intact the true essence of the old tuscan country traditions, not of course being
without thr ved earth colour of Siena with its '' terracotta '' tiles and the warmth of
the exposed wooden beams throughout.
Monchino is
located 2 km from S. Gimignano, 30 km from Siena and 35 km from Florence, it is therefore
at the centre of an important culteral area. Beyond it's historic and artistic importance
the splendid panorama mustn' t be forgotten. The alternating of vineyards, olive groves,
cypress and oak woods that are crossed with roads and tracks that wind up and along the
crest of the hills giving views of insuperable beauty. What could be better than to insert
oneself into this environment by horsetrekking or cycling, both of which we can organise.
For those who enjoy walking it must be mentioned that Monchino is set on the '' panoramic
road '' that leades to S.Gimignano well known for its magnificent views. For the more lazy
and abore all for the hot summers don't miss the swimmingpool to find healthy releif.
