In the enchanting old
village of Lucignano d'Asso, in the southernmost tip of Tuscany,
an half hour’s drive from Siena is located The "Azienda Agrituristica"
Lucignanello Bandini, an enchanting ancient hamlet surrounded by the
kind of natural beauty one finds only in Tuscany. Amidst the rolling
hills and dense woodlands populated by roe deer, hare and pheasants, and
miles of olive groves and fertile patchwork fields, and an abundance of
colour in every season of the year, one finds this haven which consists
of Casa Maria, Casa
Severino, Casa Clementina, Casa Amedeo, Casa Remo and Casale Sarageto,
a tastefully restored farmhouse just outside the hamlet, with a large
garden, swimming pool and four bedrooms. All of them perfectly restored
under the skilful guidance of Paolo Alberto Rossi, one of Italy's foremost experts in
architectural restoration, and blended to perfection with the
natural surroundings.
With the finest furnishings, each home offers a beautifully balanced mixture
of texture and tone: the pale-beige of local travertine, the warm hues
of terracotta, seasoned wood, unusual hand-painted
ceramics, canvas, pale jacquard textiles and bright printed
cottons, all having retained all the appeal of traditional Tuscan
dwellings whilst being equipped with modern and efficient services.
Simple but rare pleasures can be enjoyed at this stunning place. A
relaxing experience of exquisite beauty, with no traffic and only
the sounds of birdsongs and cock crowing. |
