Country farmhouse with large organic swimming-pool and garden

Fattoria San Paolo is a Farm House among the hills of Central Tuscany. Since we saw it for the first time we imagined a new future for this old and beautiful (but completely ruined!) place and we started renovating it. It took about 3 years of work, but now it is as beautiful as it was. In the farm we produce organic extravirgin olive oil. Since 2009 the farmhouse is open for guests (with 3 apartments and 4 lofts). Our swimming-pool is an organic one (no chemicals in water) and looks like a natural pond. Our guests are welcome to swim together with frogs!


Why should you choose Fattoria San Paolo? One thing is our focus on low environmental impact.
Our most important hallmark is our organic swimming-pool. It is a big pond-featured setting, with really low environmental impact. This works with phitodepuration, no chemicals. We produce electricity for the circulation pumps with sun panels and we use water from a natural spring (located in the property) to refill the pool.
Another reason to stay at Fattoria San Paolo is that it is in central position for Tuscany exploration. You can choose several nice day- adventures, both discovering small villages or visiting the most famous art cities. A day-trip to the beaches is also easily possibile.

Amazing property, wonderful host
Our group of 10 had a terrific time here. Chiara was a lovely host- and the dinners on site were delicious. The pool was lovely- a treat for the kids and so beautiful. Highly recommend!

Beautiful, quiet, relaxing place to stay
We loved our stay here! The property is so beautiful and the pool was wonderful. Our rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable. It was incredibly quiet, and was a great break from our stay in Italian cities. You must have a car here as nothing is close. Chiara was a gracious host.

Lovely accommodation in a beautiful spot
An idyllic, peaceful location and very friendly hosts. Our three children spent hours swimming and wildlife spotting in the natural pool.The accommodation is spacious and clean. There are plenty of beautiful spots to sit and relax outside, listening to the frogs singing! The surrounding area is very pretty with plenty of hillside villages to explore. It's a bit of a drive to the Tuscan cities such as Florence and Sienna but it was worth it for the peace and quiet.

The Italian Farmhouse is lovely, carefully maintained, and peaceful.
The only thing missing for our stay was more time.

Classic traditional and airy fattoria
What a fantastic property, Chiara and her husband have renovated the farmhouse in a traditional style with all the modern necessities, the appartment was large clean and airy. The setting is lovely with views across the fields, the natural pool is very large and surrounded by Waterlilles and frogs and aquatic life, the water is clear and filtered, and there are boardwalks to jump in from or simply lounge on. Their own pizzeria is open at the weekends where some of the best pizza we had can be enjoyed in the restaurant with their own olive oil, the prices are very good and the hospitality very friendly. If you are looking for a holiday in natural surroundings, great facilities in a lovely location for exploring Tuscany this is it.

an amazingly beautiful and peaceful place! The natural pool is idyllic and full of life!
We a family of four (Mom, Dad, six year old, and Grandma) stayed 2 nights here and loved it! Our son was totally fascinated by the natural pool and would spend hours swimming and exploring in and around it. At night we also enjoyed looking for frogs and nocturnal animals to observe. The huge moon and starry skies were fascinating. Our son became very good friends with the family dog, Otto ;-). The owner, Kiara, was a pleasure to meet and Jacqueline made us feel very welcome. We were sad to leave but will return for a longer stay!

Superbe, vacances magnifiques
Appartement très spacieux pour 2 adultes et deux enfants, bel espace à vivre. Une vue splendide sur 3 côtés. La piscine naturelle est un vrai bonheur, nager avec les libellules, près de grenouilles, des nénuphars...Le restaurant de pizzas (pauvre en gluten) et autres mets était délicieux (les enfants ont découvert sur le tiramisu). Accueil souriant et disponible.

A real paradise!
We just returned from a 10-day stay at Fattoria San Paulo and enjoyed it immensely. Our apt. (Ginepro) was very large and comfortable for the 4 of us and we felt really at home in an authentic Tuscan setting. The hostess, Chiara, is extremely charming and helpful - she also runs a great little pizzeria right across from the main house, which is open 3 nights a week: for those who love healthy (but good!) food, her pizzas are the crispiest (she explained that she uses a special low gluten flour) and most delicious in the the region! The house is set in an olive orchard (they also sell their bio unfiltered olive oil) in the Tuscan hills and there is a big nature pond next to the house for a refreshing swim. We recommend the Fattoria San Paulo most highly.
