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.

You reach the vacation apartment “Il Capriolo” over a rustic a beautiful set of stones steps. The name is said to symbolize the unforgettable sight of the Balkans. If you are lucky, you might catch a glimpse of some of the wild deer and chamois bustling around. The living area of the apartment is furnished in rustic style in keeping with the traditional brick pavement. Nevertheless, the apartment offers every comfort that you could wish for. A large bedroom with a double bed, desk, mirror, as well as a 4 sq. meter large bathroom make a fantastic and restful holiday possible in the vacation apartment “Il Capriolo”.

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.

Totales Toscana-Feeling!

halka Berlin
Review Submitted: October 6, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Waren zu zweit bei Sandra und Fabrizio im Appartement Rondine. Es war wirklich so schön, wie die Fotos zeigen. Die Wohnung sehr stilvoll hergerichtet und der Blick am ersten Morgen ins hügelige Toskana-Land unglaublich schön, sehr hilfsbereite und freundliche Gastgeber, die viele Tipps gaben und uns in ihre Alabastermine führten. in der Ferne die Schafherde, die wir fast jeden Tag sahen aus der Ferne und aus der Nähe...Konnten auch Volterra, San Gimignano, Certaldo, Colle Val d Elsa, Monterigioni mit dem Mietwagen, aber auch Florenz und Pisa mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln (Bus) sehr gut erreichen, Brunello-Weinverkostung in Montalcino (organisierte Bustour ab San Gimignano) genutzt. Sind bis zum Meer, Cecina gefahren und haben dort gebadet. Aber die Hügellandschaft der Toskana begann erst vor Volterra, aber dann richtig: sehr kurvenreiche Straßen, zum Teil recht steile Anstiege und Abfahren. Dadurch hat man aber das totale Toskana-Feeling: sanfte Hügellandschaft, weite Blicke, Gehöfte, Häuser, Kastelle, mittelalterliche Städtchen auf den Hügeln, dazwischen Felder mit Weinreben, Olivenhainen, Zypressen, Pinien, Sonnenblumen. Wirklich Bilderbuchlandschaften! Daneben entdeckten wir vieles, was nicht in Reiseführern steht. Es lohnt sich also wirklich, die Toskana zu besuchen und bei Sandra und Fabrizio zu wohnen. Sandra sprach auch Englisch, Fabrizio hatte immer ein Wörterbuch Deutsch-Italienisch zur Hand und der Rest wurde auf Italienisch und mit Händen geklärt. Hund Leo und die Katze waren auch lieb und wollten nur spielen. Von der anderen Touristenfamilie hörte man nicht viel. Also für uns persönlich war es die totale Ruhe mit dem schönen Blick auf die tolle Landschaft. Der einzige Wermutstropfen war der 3km-Schotterweg von der Hauptstraße zum Anwesen Fontesettimena. Der war schon heftig bei der Anreise im Dunkeln (auf und ab auf schmaler Schotterpiste, steile Anstiege!). Aber man gewöhnt sich an vieles! Und am dritten Tag war es gar nicht mehr so schlimm. Fazit: Superwohnung im Herzen der Toskana - unbedingt hierher fahren!
