The Agriturismo Il Colombaiolo is located 500 metres from Pienza, the village of Pius the Second, along the road that leads to the Val d’Orcia, and 400 metres from the church Pieve di Corsignano. (Both Pienza and the Val d’Orcia are inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List) The farm is perfectly situated to offer its guests a panoramic view of Pienza and the Val d’Orcia, against the backdrop of Monte Amiata, and the villages of Radicofani, Castiglione d’Orcia, San Quirico d’Orcia, Montalcino and Monticchiello.
Il Colombaiolo is a family-run, working farm nestled in 30 hectares of land that is planted in olive groves, vineyards, grain, lawns and a vegetable garden. The owner lives on the farm all year. The farmhouse itself dates from the 15th century and has been recently restructured, providing guests with every comfort while they relax in the beauty of nature.
Vacationing at the Agriturismo is one of the best ways to fully experience the delights of this property. Guests have the opportunity to observe at close hand the various activities of a working farm, including plowing, sowing, and harvesting of grapes and wheat. They are also welcome to assist the owners in harvesting the olives from which they produce an excellent, extra-virgin olive oil that is for sale at the farm.
In addition, the Agriturismo is located in a natural reserve where guests may encounter pheasants, hare, various types of birds and deer, as well as the farm animals – hens, cockerels, plovers, turkeys, ducks, geese and the friendly farm dogs. At Il Colombaiolo it’s possible to take leisurely walks far away from road traffic, or simply pass relaxing moments stretched out by the pond, surrounded by lush, natural vegetation.
