Frances' Lodge is a country house that used to be the farmhouse and the lemon-tree-house of the nearby eighteenth century manor.
It is situated on top of a hill near Siena, and yet you seem to be immersed in the silence and peace that reigns only in the open countryside.

Once you go through the gate and walk down the white path (CLICK HERE FOR THE VIRTUAL WALKING), the view of the city stands out before your eyes and it remains, as a background to your stay, imprinted in your memory, with its incredible colours that light the city's skyline, along with eight acres of vineyards and olive trees, poppy red fields and and nearly forgotten sounds..... birds.... cicadas.... the wind.

	Sometimes, a family of roes crosses the field; sometimes, a "concerto" of swallows accompanies a sunset.

AND WE ARE IN SIENA !
( less than one mile far, as a crow flies)

Our completely fenced-in property ensures your privacy and enables you to enjoy a taste of tranquil country life (our real "slow life").

Very often our place and our Home are said: "What an unbelieveble break, between Rome and Florence!"
as the first "gift" to our guests is the silence.

You will be greated with a warm welcoming smile at this large house and the tuscan countryside that surrounds it. Cool water, drinks and a basket of fresh fruits awaits you in your room. Above all, your landlords are always available to meet your needs. If you wish they will suggest little-known restaurants, out of the way places to visit, as well as the better-known ones: Chianti, San Gimignano, Volterra, Pienza and Val d'Orcia.
Upon request they can arrange to have an exceptional guide, Roberto, accompany you.
