| Le Fighine |
Le Fighine is a charming hamlet, dating back to the 11th century..
|
|
The hamlet comprises several buildings which have recently been renovated by the current owners, as well as a castle.
In old times the castle was used as a strategic spot to look-out for potential enemy attacks.
This position guarantees a magnificient bird-eye view over the splendid surrounding hills.
This fortress had a very important role in the past, in the defence of Siena, so that even to-date, during the famous Palio di Siena, its flags are waved as a sign of gratitude from the city.
The castle is located in the Valdorcia region, one of the most fascinating areas of Tuscany.
This region is famous for its Brunello di Montalcino wine, for its Pecorino di Pienza cheese, and for the presence of various medieval hamlets.
In this land you have a real feel for the slow pace of rural life, the old traditions, the deep connection between man and nature.

You are always taken back by the wonderful views, fields that change according to the seasons, tall cypress trees which sprout here and there over the hills, magnificent sunsets. Not to mention the rows of Brunello vines and the soil which changes colour depending on the light |

Inside Le Fighine hamlet there are two houses: Casa Janine and Casa Teatro.
Both properties have been refurbished with great taste, but they maintain the original character:
the stone walls are very thick, the forms and ambiances are the same as those that were lived and experienced by different persons hundreds of years ago.
Outside you will find open spaces, as well as sheltered ones, where you can eat, relax and enjoy a glass of wine, as well as unforgettable moments with your friends and family.
Villas are surrounded by a splendid garden, on various levels, extremely well cared for. You can find herbs, coloured shrubs, various flowers and trees, which make the place even more special. By taking a stroll around the house, you will be able to admire ancient olive trees and be tempted by the fruit trees, which are scattered around the grounds.
