Photos and Description of this Volterra holiday farmhouse

The agritourism Fontesettimena is a gorgeous, old Tuscan farm. Located in one of the most beautiful areas of Tuscany within the arts and culture-rich landscape of Volterra, one can get away from the everyday life and simply relax. The common Cypress trees and hilly landscape are always there to inspire walks and bike rides. Even a visit to our old alabaster-mine can be quite an experience. The two vacation apartments in Fontesettimena have recently undergone respectful, careful renovation in Tuscan style. The apartments are unattached and each has its own kitchen, living-room, bathroom, bedroom and 100 sq. meter garden. In the garden you will find tomatoes, artichokes, and other culinary delicacies just waiting to be picked. Of course the wonderful hand-pressed olive oil and homemade honey are always available as well.

Details for Rondine 1 Bedroom, Sleeps 3, 1 Bathroom

The name of this vacation apartment was not chosen by mere accident; rather it is meant to remind of the yearly swallows that return to the apartment every spring to build their nests between the crossbeams of our antique building. The kitchen offers sufficient space to turn some freshly harvested ingredients into a truly festive meal with its 4 boiler plates (gas operated), refrigerator with freezer, and wash basin. In the bedroom, you will find a double bed, mirror, and an antique walnut closet at your disposal. The 8 sq. meter bathroom with shower is optimal for freshening up after a hot summer’s day. There is also a sofa bed in the living room available for a third person. Heating is available throughout the entire apartment.

Volterra and San Gimignano, situated in one of the most beautiful and popular locations, are cities that need no description. Walking along the streets gives you the feeling of being in another time. You will simply fall in love with these two places: the mellow landscape, the sun, the cypresses, the olives, the wine, the excellent cuisine, the spontaneous lifestyle, etc. Volterra, the “City of Winds and Cliffs,” and San Gimignano never cease to amaze. They are both rich with culture, arts and crafts, and inns. The Etruscan and medieval walls, the city gate and moat, the Roman theatre in Volterra, and the medieval architecture will spoil the art enthusiast; the alabaster and gold smith crafts will tempt shoppers; Volterrana soup, Vernaccia di S. Gimignano (wine), and pork roast are all prepared with the same care as an Aragosta, and you can even enjoy the table wine as a nice alternative to a Tignanello.

Our olives are hand picked from our own trees in November and hand pressed with the respect and care of the old tradition. Our honeybee-honey is something you will simply have to try for yourself; the bees nourish themselves with the blossoms of the different flowers that grow in a warm, optimal environment, which makes the honey unforgettable. Upon request we will gladly lead you to our old alabaster mine and some of the historical, traditional sites of craftsmanship where sculptures and works of art are uniquely crafted from this exceptional stone.

Super, ruhige Wohnung in der Natur

Menal Nürnberg
Review Submitted: July 3, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Es war sehr ruhig gelegen, 2 km Feldweg von der Hauptstraße. An d. Hauptstraße 2 Restaurants zur Auswahl. Beide Restaurants gut! Wohnung nett und praktisch eingerichtet. Sehr sauber. Bad groß und gepflegt. Schlafzimmer sehr groß mit großem Schrank und toller, mittelharter Matratze. Küche funktional, ohne Backofen und Mikrowelle, Kühlschrank m. Gefrierfach!
Kleine Liegewiese mit 2 Liegen, fester Grill mit Holz vorhanden. Außerdem große Sitzgelegenheit im Freien zum gemütlichen Essen! Die Vermieter sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Helfen bei allen Problemen. Olivenöl und Honig vom Vermieter - lecker! Einkaufsmöglichkeit in Volterra. Fontesettimena ist jederzeit zu empfehlen und von meiner Seite - immer wieder gerne!
Viel Spaß wer dort hin fährt! Manuela

Traumhafte und sehr ruhige Lage

Rasenna Vogtland
Review Submitted: February 7, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2007
Die Angaben zu Lage und Ausstattung der Ferienwohnung sind wie beschrieben. Nur den genannten "Gemüsegarten" konnten wir nicht finden. Die Ferienwohnung ist sehr sauber, gepflegt und toskanisch eingerichtet. Die Gegend um den Hof ist traumhaft und sehr ruhig. Die Vermieterin ist sehr gastfreundlich und nett. Trotz der Angabe, dass der Vermieter deutsch und englisch spricht, war dies nicht der Fall. Das Feriendomizil würden wir auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen, allerdings sollte der fast 2 km weite Schotterweg erwähnt werden, der am besten mit einem Allradwagen zu bewältigen ist und staubempfindlich sollte man ebenfalls nicht sein. Etwas gestört hat uns, dass die zweite Ferienwohnung direkt am Schlafzimmerfenster unserer Wohnung lag, so dass ein Öffnen des Fensters nur bedingt möglich war.
