In the hills outside the mediaeval Tuscan city of Siena, sits Tenuta di Mensanello. The collection of holiday apartments on this lovely agriturismo estate offers comfort and relaxation, and the chance to enjoy the food, wine, spectacular countryside and warm welcome of this beautiful part of Italy.

Tenuta di Mensanello offers very special holiday accommodation. The estate consists of nine apartments. Three lie in the village of Mensanello. Half a mile from Mensanello are four more apartments, in an old farmhouse nestling in the shade of a wood. And on a hill nearby, another of the old farm buildings houses two further holiday flats.

The estate offers peace, tranquility and relaxation. Take a dip in the private swimming pool; travel to the lovely beaches nearby; or take a trekking or biking expedition through the Tuscan countryside. Whatever you do, the farm is a wonderful way to unwind and connect with some of the most beautiful scenery in Italy.

This is a working estate of course, and the apartments are set within the olive groves and vineyards of the farm. From the land - more than 300 hectares of it under cultivation - the owners produce excellent extra virgin olive oil (pressed on the estate) and a superb red wine, Chianti Colli Senesi.
