Description
Le Vecchie, translated as “the old ones,” is a farmhouse that dates back to the seventeenth century and has served as an inspirational artist’s retreat for the past four decades. Screenplays and plays, books, novels and articles have been written here; music composed and recorded, paintings and sculptures created, and films edited. Set high in the hills of Chianti Classico overlooking Radda, this rural farmhouse is a peaceful retreat from the demands of modern life, a place to free your mind, and a romantic base from which to explore the region‘s rich cultural and culinary traditions. Equidistant from Florence and Siena, Le Vecchie is also a convenient meeting point for international travelers and for day trips throughout Tuscany.
The house sleeps up to 6 guests in 3 bedrooms, with a large ensuite bathroom with oversized tub off of the master bedroom, and one additional bathroom with showers. A large kitchen dining room with fireplace sits at the heart of the house, and the whole of the house is decorated with the works of Le Vecchie‘s admirers. A fully equipped kitchen, diverse library, small olive grove, inflatable pool, and collection of movies and games offer hours of diversion for those who wish to stay closer to their Tuscan home.
Nestled amidst a vineyard about one mile up a steep rocky dirt road, a four-wheel drive is a recommended for those unacquainted with navigating the Tuscan hills.
