Tuscan farmhouse holidays and chianti vacation home.

A Tuscan Farmhouse called Piè di Costa

Cantina Gelsomino The name of this characteristic Tuscan farmhouse, given to it from the time of it's construction, at the beginning of the 20th century means "one step from the side of the hill of Montaione".
The same name has been passed on for a century right up to the present day and is above all quite unique.

Built as a Tuscan farmhouse, Piè di Costa was part of a much larger estate belonging to the Fattoria Accursio based in Impruneta which is a small town just outside Florence.

Casa colonica Toscana The occupation of the families that lived in the house in the past was dedicated mainly to agriculture and raising livestock.

An intriguing characteristic to be found on this old farm with its extensive land, a good 12 hectares still cultivated with chianti vineyards and olive groves, is an old copper mine which ceased production in 1905. It is still possible to admire the entrance door and its supporting walls.

The Tuscan farmhouse was bought by the Bracci family in 1978, restored respecting the previous traditions of the farmer and its agricultural purpose, and was used as a country home, actively producing olive oil and Chianti DOC wine. The most recent alterations were completed in May 1998, creating 5 holiday apartments to provide accommodations to meet the increasing tourist demand.

The property is still to-day surrounded by well cared chianti vineyards and olive groves.
