Vignanova barn in Alta Maremma in Gerfalco (Montieri)

Il Fienile is part of a farmhouse built in the late 1800s and recently renovated. It is located in an uncontaminated valley full of water and at the foot of the Cornate park. The farm is surrounded by olive trees but a centuries-old chestnut grove is also nearby. The owner family produces oil and chestnut flour. Also from this year we have some hives for honey production.
The furniture of the barn is in a schabby style. The house has an independent outdoor space and is on two floors connected by a spiral staircase for a total of 50 square meters. The water in the house comes from a well. For use in the kitchen and bathroom, the owners provide guests with free bottles of water.

To get to the house you have to walk 600 meters on a dirt road in the middle of a wood and cross a bridge. By choice of the owners, there are no televisions and no wifi. But there is also a swing for the children and the opportunity to observe the stars (among other things, Gerfalco is recognized as one of the places with the least light pollution). In the farmhouse live a dog and three cats who, however, do not have access to the barn. In any case, for more information on the characteristics of it is possible to contact the host. Il Fienile has an independent access with its external space for eating and a relaxation area (with umbrella and armchairs).

We are at the antipodes of the chaos of the city. And we are not even in an over-exploited village for tourism purposes. Here the places have not yet been contaminated, there are no intensive crops. Only farms with small productions. The noises and smells are authentic. And nature can express all its energy.

In Alta Maremma holidays are never boring. In the area there are numerous itineraries to do: from the naturalistic ones in the Cornate regional reserve to the historical artistic ones in San Galgano (the sword in the rock) 14 km and in Massa Marittima with its famous cathedral (15 km). Gerfalco is one hour from Siena (35 km). Horseback riding and mountain biking are also possible. Gerfalco is also just 40 minutes from the sea (Follonica and the Sterpaia regional reserve). Other places of interest on the coast: Castiglione della Pescaia (43 km) and Baratti with the Etruscan city of Populonia (41 km).

Be at one with nature
A beautiful secluded spot in Tuscany. We loved staying at Vignanova and enjoyed the peaceful surrounds of the barn. Andrea was a perfect host; meeting us in Gerflaco, providing us with tips and leaving for us amazing (best on the trip) wine and pasta ingredients. Loved visiting the chickens, spotting lizards and exploring for chestnuts. Thank you for a wonderful stay Andrea. Your kindness and hospitality were second to none. We will be telling our friends/family. :)

Charming property with lots of personality, very relaxing.
Well had a lovely welcome from the property owner on our arrival, making sure everything was perfect for us. Barn of Vignanova is set on a hillside surrounded by trees, very beautiful area and so quiet, very relaxing and calming. We spent a lot of our week here just enjoying our surroundings and exploring the forest. The barn is full of character and personality, we loved the kitchen table, glass topped wooden door and using doors for decoration. There is a spiral staircase taking you to the very spacious bedroom with a huge double bed and very cute children’s beds above. Also, a little log burner if the evenings are a bit chilly. Montieri is a short drive from the barn where there is a bar, pizzeria, bakery, deli and a supermarket. Massa Marittima is a nice place to visit, plenty of eating and ice cream and Siena, about an hours drive, is definitely a place to visit. A big thank you to our hosts for their hospitality and kindness making our holiday truly memorable.

Diese Unterkunft ist einfach traumhaft
Wir haben eine schöne Zeit in diesem Haus mit unserem Hund verbracht. Man kommt zu dem Haus über einen längeren, abenteuerlichen Feldweg durch den Wald und kann eine wunderschöne Alleinlage genießen. Die Vermieter Lucia und Andrea waren nebenan und konnten uns nützliche Tipps geben. Sie waren sehr herzlich und haben uns am letzten Abend mit selbst gebackener Pizza aus ihrem 100 Jahre alten Steinofen versorgt. Zu dem nächsten Strand fährt man 40 Minuten. Die Entfernung nach Piombino ist 1 Stunde. Von dort aus sind wir für einen Tag mit der Autofähre auf die Insel Elba gefahren. Die Überfahrt hat 1 Stunde gedauert. Alles in allem ein gelungener Urlaub. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder. Allen, die Ruhe und Erholung fernab vom Massentourismus suchen, können wir diese Unterkunft wärmstens empfehlen.

Super
Einfach super - was soll man zu einer Unterkunft schreiben, die nach unserer Meinung einfach perfekt war? Schon die Zufahrt ist ein Abenteuer und eine Herausforderung, da kommt gleich das richtige Urlaubsfeeling auf. Dann die überaus freundliche Begrüßung durch Lucia und ihren Mann Andrea, das Haus resp. die Wohnung, die mit viel Liebe zum Detail und mit allem notwendigen ausgestattet ist und schlussendlich die fantastische Umgebung - es hat alles gestimmt und war in sich vollkommen schlüssig. So abgelegen die Hofstelle auch ist, alles notwendige und auch mehr, war ja mit dem Auto zu erreichen. Wer einmal völlig abschalten und dafür die Natur (Kastanienwälder, Berge, steile Pfade und Wildbach) erleben möchte - der ist hier genau richtig. Wir werden an unseren Aufenthalt noch lange und gerne zurückdenken. Nochmals einen herzlichen Dank an unsere lieben Gastgeber; wir können dieses Refugium in der Natur nur uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen. Karin und Christoph im April 2023

Ein Kleinod inmitten der Natur
Als wir die Unterkunft inmitten der Natur erreichten, begrüßten uns Lucia, Andrea und Mattheo mit einer unglaublich großen Gastfreundschaft, die uns den gesamten Urlaub begleiten sollte. Andrea und Lucia sind die herzlichsten und liebenswürdigsten Ferienhausvermieter, die wir bisher haben kennenlernen dürfen. Mit großer Liebe zum Detail haben sie die Unterkunft gestaltet und man merkt, wieviel Herzblut in diesem tollen Ferienhaus steckt. Von hier aus konnten wir alle Unternehmungen machen, die wir geplant haben. Zwar sind die großen Sehenswürdigkeiten einige Kilometer entfernt, jedoch waren sowohl Florenz, Siena als auch der Strand gut zu erreichen - die Lage des Hauses sorgte dann für die Möglichkeit, sich vom Stress der Großstädte gut zu erholen. Das Haus ist für Reisende, die die Ruhe und Erholung suchen perfekt! Abendliche Besuche von Familie Dachs und Reh sind der Beweis, dass hier noch das echte Naturidyll zu erleben ist. Durch die Lage waren die Nächte angenehm kühl - tagsüber konnte man sich zwischen einem angenehmen Schattenplatz unter einem der Sonnenschirme entscheiden oder die Sonne genießen. Wir können jedem Ruhesuchenden dieses liebevoll gestaltete Ferienhaus nur empfehlen, bei dem man die so oft gepriesene Gastfreundschaft italienischer Familien in vollem Umfang erleben darf. Danke Andrea und Lucia, dass wir zu Gast bei euch sein durften.

Nice Place in the Toskana-Outback
At first the communication and friendliness of the owner is amazing. She is like a mother who does everything that you will feel like at home. The tiny flat is quite well fitted. The location is in the middle of nature. For visitors who want quitness, be outside of every bustle their will find here his oasis. To be honest, the middle of nature has two sides: one site its beautiful the other side, you will have the nature even in the house. Unfortunatelly we did not have drinking water in the tap, because the water comes from an own well witch was not current checked. The tiny way to this flat could be tough for luxurious cars with big rims and less rubber on the tires. We even just made it with our station wagon. We can recomend this flat because we had a good time there.
