    Description

    My name is Lorena and I live in the Montagnola Senese countryside, 10 km from Siena. I run a farmhouse with my son Emiliano. I'm looking to host nature-loving guests who are interested in working outdoors in the garden and vegetable patch, and who are also interested in participating in the farmhouse's various hospitality activities.

Desidero ospitare persone che amano la natura, interessate a lavorare all'aria aperta nell'orto e nel giardino ed anche a partecipare alle varie attività di ospitalità dell'agriturismo.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Since I live in the countryside at 10 km from Siena, visiting the lovely city is always an option. There is a bus three times a day to Siena. Once in Siena, there's a train station that can connect you with Firenze (1.5h), Pisa (2.5h), the seaside (2.5h), etc.
    ----------------------
    Dal momento che vivo in campagna a 10km del centro di Siena, per visitare questa città è sempre una bella opzione. C'è un autobus tre volte al giorno per Siena. La stazione ferroviaria di Siena può collegarti ad esempio con Firenze (1,5 ore), Pisa (2,5 ore), il mare (2,5 ore).
