Put in a nutshell Fattoria La Loggia is everything you associate with Tuscany. The picturesque old estate is located outside San Casciano Val di Pesa in the heart of Chianti between Siena and Florence. The buildings date back to the 1400s, and centuries of history positively exude from these buildings, which belonged to the rulers of Florence, the Medici family, for as far back as anyone cares to remember.
Today the farm produces excellent wines ranging from a simple Chianti to spumante and white wine and super Tuscan and Chianti Classico Riserva. They also produce a fine olive oil with the mild rounded taste without too much acidity that is so characteristic for these hills.
The owner is a patron of art, and a special feature of the farm is the annual number of artists allowed to stay free of charge on the condition they leave a work of art behind. Consequently pieces by many different artists are now on display in the main building, the apartments and in the park. Additional amenities include bikes, table tennis, 10 x 18 m swimming pool and barbecue all freely available to guests.
The eleven apartments are all in the old buildings and largely furnished with antiques. All the apartments have telephone, satellite TV, radio and safe deposit box.
