Countryside rentals in Tuscany - self catering apartments in southern Tuscany

Countryside rentals in Tuscany - Borgo Dolciano is a holiday farm in central Italy, an agriturismo on the southern Tuscan Hills.

One of the finest complexes devoted to farm holidays in Tuscany, it sits 3km from the Etruscan town of Chiusi and close to important cultural and historical attractions such as Siena, Pienza, Lake Trasimeno, Montepulciano and much more.

This is the ideal place to spend your holidays relaxing among the nature, culture, good wine and food of central Italy. The area was once the site of Etruscan dwellings, marked by the numerous remains of settlements in the nearby area.

The hill at Dolciano is overlooked by an elegant 18th century villa, which gives onto a splendid Italian garden. Spread over the surrounding area are various other buildings - old farmhouses and stables and an attractive little church. Through a skilful renovation of these rural buildings, the Borgo Dolciano holiday home complex was developed.

For those who want to take a peaceful holiday, immersed in the atmosphere of the Tuscan countryside, between the gently rolling green landscape and the restful silence of its hills, this is a dream come true.
