Il Fornacino, Rapolano Terme, Siena and Chianti

I Fornacino is a lovingly restored holiday home that once housed a historic furnace. Today, it is the perfect retreat for a large family or a group of friends looking to enjoy time together surrounded by Tuscan nature. The well-maintained garden, with its shaded spots and two furnished terraces, invites guests to relax and share meals outdoors. The large pool, complete with a well-equipped pool area, offers refreshment and relaxation amidst stunning scenery.



The house is set in a peaceful rural location, just a few hundred metres from the small hamlet of Armaiolo, where guests will find a charming osteria. In just about fifteen minutes by car, you can reach Rapolano Terme, which offers a wide selection of restaurants, bars and shops. As the name suggests, this town is also famous for its thermal springs and spa treatments. For those seeking adventure, the Saltalbero Adventure Park is nearby. Day trips to Siena (just half an hour away), as well as Florence, Arezzo or San Gimignano, are easily arranged.

I Fornacino is a two-storey stone house with a pool and garden. Inside, it impresses with its unique, characterful style: exposed stone walls, high wooden beam ceilings, terracotta floors, and most striking of all, the vaulted terracotta ceiling in the kitchen and dining room. The house has been lovingly restored and features a cosy, welcoming interior that offers an authentic Tuscan living experience.



I Fornacino combines charm, comfort and history and is  the ideal setting for an unforgettable holiday.
