The restoration of an old Tuscan farmhouse: Le Manzinaie, built in 1878, has resulted in charming, self-catering apartments/suites and a nice villa with private garden, all provided with independent entrances. They're situated in Tuscany -in the center of Italy, in the community of Montepulciano, in the province of Siena- just halfway between Florence and Rome.
A long, cypress-lined drive leading to the farm sets the tone of country elegance. The accommodations (for 2 and 4 people) are completely hand-decorated and embellished by trompe l'oeil to offer the guests a refined, cosy and exclusive atmosphere.
