Spectacular sunsets over the Crete Senesi


Podere Cunina is a beautiful farmhouse just outside of Buonconvento, to the south of Siena in the fascinating area known as the Crete Senesi just before entering the Val d'Orcia.

The farmhouse offers 7 independent apartments and a wonderful outdoor salt water pool. The estate has just renovated a separate building on the estate to offer a more private studio apartment perfect for a couple on a romantic getaway, read more details on the Myrtus apartment here.

The farmhouse and apartments have been carefully restructured and furnished in a rustic country style with antiques. The farmhouse offers all of the main modern amenities, such as air conditioning, but it also pays particular attention to the environment and energy savings having installed floor heating, using solar panels to heat water and water purification systems to reuse water in the lawn.
