RECEPTIVE STRUCTURE. La Calcinaia is a large villa for sixteen (in full version), set within an olive farm in the hills near Bucine, Tuscany.

Surrounded by lawns, landscaped grounds and views of the verdant hills, the scene is set for al fresco relaxation and dining with its panoramic terraces, furnished pergola, a heatable saltwater pool and vegetable garden. The location is well placed for exploring Chianti, the Val d’Orcia and central Tuscany. NB.

When the property is rented in this solution no other guests will be present on site.
