Second floor apartment. Its main feature is the maintenance of the original floor that was in the structure during the renovation; obviously it has some imperfections but, in our opinion, it is beautiful. It has been cleaned and scrupulously restored without removing, however, all the imperfections that characterize it. Another peculiarity of the apartment is the presence, in the living room/kitchen area, of a small mezzanine. Before the renovation, to go up there were not the stairs that are now but a small "climb". In the old structure this room was the granary.
It is a rather large apartment consisting of a living room with kitchen, 2 large bedrooms (one single and one double) and 2 bathrooms (one for the exclusive use of the double bedroom).
Independent entrance.
To reach the entrance of the apartment you need to go up a small external flight of stairs and one internal.
The kitchen is equipped with everything needed for cooking (pots, lids, utensils, etc.) and for eating (plates, cutlery, glasses, etc.)
The bathrooms are both equipped with all the usual services.
In the living room there are two comfortable armchairs and a wood-burning fireplace that can be safely lit. The wood is available for guests and is located outside the structure.
N.b. the fireplace cannot be used as a waste incinerator (each apartment is equipped with a dustbin and outside there are containers for separate waste collection) or for cooking (outside there are barbecues and a brazier available to guests).
In the small mezzanine of the living room there are two armchairs and a lamp. We liked seeing it as an alternative space to read a good book and see the living room from above.
In the apartment there is free wifi internet connection, available to guests.
N.b.: The wifi works with the Eolo satellite dish (the area is not served by fiber) so the connection is not super fast. The presence of very thick walls may mean that, on certain days, the internet connection is not able to serve all the rooms of the apartment.
There is no air conditioning because it is not needed. The thick walls ensure a pleasantly (and naturally) cool temperature.
From the windows there is a splendid view of Mount Amiata and the fields and woods that surround the farmhouse.
The structure is entirely surrounded by greenery. Outside there is a charcoal barbecue (the charcoal is available to guests) and a brazier. Outside there are tables for eating. In the evening the external lighting turns on automatically. There are deckchairs for relaxing while reading a good book or maybe sunbathing. The La Piaggia farmhouse is the ideal place for those who love walking, or cycling. From here it is easy to reach, on foot or by bike, the Ermicciolo park where you can visit the sources of the Vivo, but also the Eremo del Vivo.
It is also in an excellent position to visit the entire Valdorcia (Pienza, Montalcino, Montepulciano, Siena, etc. are just a few kilometers away).

N.b.: For Hygienic Reasons We Do Not Provide Condiments (Oil, Salt, etc.) or coffee and tea.

N.b.: the services that the apartment provides are well described. In particular, I would like to point out that there is a moka and there is no coffee machine with pods. The apartment is rustic. It is a farmhouse.

N.b.: since the structure is located in the open countryside, it is possible to have mosquitoes, flies, butterflies (even nocturnal ones) and other insects, or lizards, squirrels, wild boars, roe deer, and it is also possible to see swallows or other types of birds flying.

N.b.: to reach the structure it is necessary to travel a short stretch of dirt road (about 2550 meters), easily passable by any means. I would like to point out, however, that a dirt road is traveled differently from an asphalt road and that they are two very different things.

N.b.: the tourist tax must be paid on site (2 euros per day per person).
