Lamone
OVERVIEW:
The farmhouse is situated in one of the most beautiful valleys and countrysides
of Tuscany, the "Val
d'Orcia", near the beautiful medieval village of Monticchiello
with a panoramic view of Pienza
which is only a few kilometers away. UNESCO has declared Val d'Orcia a
World Heritage site.
The scenery surrounding the farm, the colours, the sculpted landscape, the closeness to towns rich in art and history make it a charming and pleasant place to stay. The ancient farmhouse, restored while maintaining the authentic tuscan stones and rustic feel of the old rooms, is composed of large apartments with the use of a kitchen and is surrounded by an ambience in which nature is its own master. The charming atmosphere and hospitality is the highlight that Luchino Grappi and his wife Palma provide for their Agriturismos while preserving the rich farming traditions of Tuscany. It is surrounded by a vineyard, an olive grove and vast wheat fields which the Grappi family cultivate to make organic wine, olive oil and pasta for their guests.
The village of Monticchiello is famous for its distinctive 'Poor Theatre' (Teatro Povero) produced and performed annually by the inhabitants of the village, and by the Grappi Family.
Lamone means good homemade cooking, tranquility, culture and breathtaking countryside for a weekend or holiday. It will be an unforgettable experience.
