Agriturismo La Sovana

Sarteano, Italy.

La Sovana is a charming group of old stone houses nestled among the green hills of Tuscany. Located in the south of Siena, La Sovana is an unforgettable setting for a romantic holiday.

Bed and Breakfast Description

Genuine Tuscan hospitality can be enjoyed in a beautiful rural setting at La Sovana, an old brick and stone farmhouse which has been converted by Giuseppe and Giovannella Olivi, with great care and love, into fourteen comfortable suites.

La Sovana's carefully tended grounds are a pure delight, from the cypress and oleander lined drive to the rows of fragrant lavender, rosemary and sage bushes which attract an abundance of colourful butterflies.

Terraces are dotted with huge terracotta pots full of cascading geraniums, fruit-laden lemon trees and bright yellow broom. With 22 hectares of land around the property there is plenty of room to enjoy a secluded lunch or delightful walks in the oak woods. For the more active there are two excellent tennis courts, mountain bikes and a small carp lake for fishing.

The Olivi family, have made this beautiful place their home and have created a friendly family atmosphere which permeates through every aspect of life at La Sovana. Their thoughtful hospitality is especially appreciated in the evening over dinner.

Served on the covered terrace by the pool, with its views over wheat fields and vineyards, dinner is quite an event and offers particularly good value.

Delicious Tuscan dishes are prepared from the freshest of ingredients, many of which are produced at La Sovana, and if it is too chilly to eat outside, dinner is served in the family's own candlelit dining room.
