Pian del Colombaio - Self-catering apartments in Tuscany
Montenero d'Orcia 36, 58033 Grosetto, Grosseto
Tuscany,
Italia
A well-hidden treasure in the Tuscan countryside that sociable folk will be delighted to discover. A stone-built terrace of apartments looks across the river Orcia to Monte Amiata, surrounded by olive groves – a deeply rural scene. These once dilapidated farmhouse buildings have been rescued and revived with Italian vitality, so you can gather together and relax on the terrace or by the pool, and then retreat to the privacy of your apartment. Some sleep four, some two, all are spacious and simply dressed: wooden beams, white walls, elegant fabrics. Two have vaulted ceilings, all have contemporary bathrooms and kitchens. The owners visited on a whim ten years ago and fell in love with the tranquillity – now they delight in sharing it all, and offer several courses to guests. Yoga groups can spread out on the veranda, there are courses for budding photographers, and Alexander organises wine tasting trips too; massage, aromatherapy and art courses are in the offing. There's something for everyone here, all delivered with warmth and humour from two generations of the charming McCrackens.

Local points of interest from Angela McCracken:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Angela McCracken:
- Il Giardino di Daniel Spoerri, Seggiano. An eclectic mix of contemporary sculpture fused with the beautiful natural surroundings.
- A haven for nature lovers with opportunities to spot butterflies, foxes, wild boar, deer & porcupine from the terrace whilst being serenaded in a symphony of bird song. Spring brings the nightingales and June brings the magical fireflies.
- A short hop from Montalcino and its world famous Brunello wine is the 11th century Romanesque St. Antimo Abbey, reputedly the most beautiful in Italy (also for keen walkers a 2.5 hour hike through the vineyards from the house)
- The nearby coast has something to offer everyone, there is the well-heeled refinement of Castiglione della Pescaia, or the more rugged and wild Maremma national park.
- Monte Amiata dominates the local skyline and is home to many a good walk and horse riding, as well as being the source of the numerous natural hot springs, such as Saturnia, Bagno San Filipo & Bagno Vignoni to relax in afterwards.
- Our local village's lasagna festival in the last week of May has live music, hay bale racing and the best lasagna ever - local towns all have their own unique food festivals including truffles, wine, olive oil, tortelli, frogs legs and potatoes!
