About Podere Sant'Alessandro

Podere Sant’Alessandro is an ancient Tuscan farmhouse located in a panoramic position recently restructured by the owners without altering the original architectural features. The current structure is typical of the Tuscan farm of the late eighteenth century. Both home-made and agricultural use today welcome comfortable apartments for visitors. The great antique stone oven of the late nineteenth century was still intact, where the bread was baked and the game and roasts were cooked on holiday days. The panorama is characterized by holm oaks, oak and maples, olive groves and vineyards of the estate of San Gimignanello and the Crete Senesi. It is located inside the municipality of Rapolano Terme (Siena), until the 1970s it was part of the great estate of the Castle of San Gimignanello, one of the feudals of the Counts of the Scialenga, Lords of Asciano, dating back to the year 1000.
