In the very heart of an unknown and unspoilt part of Tuscany where life still follows the pace of nature sits Marcigliana, an authentic Tuscan farmhouse surrounded by stunning views and wild nature. Marcigliana is now an organic farm producing Pecorino cheese, olive oil and vegetables.
The farmhouse offers 3 apartments and an independent barn, all restored with care and attention to detail. A large garden offers an inviting swimming pool and magnificent views over the surrounding hills and the nearby hilltop village of Radicondoli.
Besides Radicondoli, the view includes Montecastelli and Monteguidi and stretches as far as the Etruscan city of Volterra and the wonderful San Gimignano, both within 40 minutes motoring. The farm extends over more than 90 hectares of eco-farmed land. Besides poultry, we breed Sardinian Sheep for the production of milk and cheeses.
Marcigliana is a quiet place for gaining new strength, allowing for relaxation by the panoramic pool or taking sightseeing daytrips, experiencing Tuscan village life, walking in unspoilt, breathtakingly beautiful countryside or exploring the ancient spas scattered around the valley.
Pietro and his family are very warm, generous, positive and fun loving Sardinians who often organise large dinners with friends from neighbouring farms, improvise playing, singing and dancing to which all guests are always invited.
The family likes all guests to make themselves at home. You can take part in farming activities like milking the sheep and making cheese, or enjoy a quiet and relaxing week by the pool.

The Apartments

Il Podere, originally the farmer's own house, features a very large and cool open living area which used to host large dinners at the end of the hard farming days, a large fireplace and a fully fitted kitchen. Off the living room are two double bedrooms and a large bathroom. Besides the beautiful apartment (110 sqm)- the highlight is the private panoramic terrace (100sqm) with BBQ, table and chairs. The apartment is equipped with tv and satellite.

La Capanna is an independent barn featuring a lovely open living area with a fully equipped kitchen, a welcoming fireplace, sofas and stunning views over the valley and village on the hill opposite.
The two bedrooms sleep up to 4 comfortably. The barn is equipped with satellite tv, private outdoors eating facilities and a BBQ.

La Terrazza, converted from an old Winery, is now the largest unit at Marcigliana. Sitting on the ground floor, below Podere, the apartment features a large open living area with a fully fitted kitchen, two large bedrooms (one twin and one double), a storage room and one bathroom. La Terrazza is suitable for up to four adults and two children.

La parata, converted from the farm’s old warehouse, is now a wonderful ground floor apartment featuring a large open living area/kitchen with fireplace, two bedrooms and a bathroom. La Parata is suitable for up to four adults and two children.

La Caciaia, converted from the old Cheese cellar, is an independent studio featuring a small entrance hall with a sofa bed, a beautifully crafted semicircular staircase leading to the first floor double bedroom with private bathroom. La caciaia does not have a kitchen, and is therefore combined with one (or more) of the other units. La Caciaia is suitable for up to two adults and one child.
