"Il Calcione is one of Tuscany's best-kept secrets"
The family that has owned Il Calcione since the 15th century warmly shares the many wonders of peaceful Tuscan life with its visitors. Situated among rolling Tuscan hills filled with silvery olive trees and grapes, La Fornace is uniquely private and comfortable.With its own lake is only a few steps away, La Fornace is a place that you can easily call "home".
Good table wine and fine olive oil are produced and sold on the premises. There are excellent, reasonably priced family restaurants and food markets in nearby villages. Siena and Arezzo can be easily visited. The unforgettable Renaissance splendors of Florence are only a short train ride away.
If you are visiting in late spring, Hill towns such as Montepulchiano and San Gimignano are within 30 minutes/1 hour's drive through the sunflower covered countryside. We truly think that Il Calcione is one of Tuscany's "best-kept secrets". It is even better than it appears on the website!
