Property Summary
Nestled in the verdant heart of the Sienese Montagnola in Sovicille, Tuscany, Italy, L'Ovile is a remarkable vacation rental that embodies the timeless spirit of authentic rural living. This typical Tuscan farmhouse, whose origins date back to the beginning of the 20th century, was acquired together with the larger estate Casanova by its present owners in the 1960s and has since been lovingly restored using reclaimed materials such as the stone that covers its structure, as well as new materials crafted in the old tradition, including stone floors and bricks set above chestnut beams that grace the ceilings. The recent renovations have further distinguished the property by conferring upon its exterior a distinctive fortress style, a building technique rooted in the Middle Ages, while the integration of solar panels and a photovoltaic system reflects a deep commitment to environmental responsibility. Surrounded by dense woodland rich in chestnut groves, holm oaks, and oaks, L'Ovile offers guests a rare opportunity to immerse themselves in a landscape of extraordinary natural beauty, where gentle hills roll across vast tracts of countryside stretching toward the horizon, and ancient abbeys, towers, and historic stone villages bear witness to centuries of Tuscan history.

This exceptional vacation rental is the result of a careful and respectful restoration of a 19th century farmhouse, where fine traditional materials such as hand-made terracotta flooring and chestnut ceiling beams have been preserved and celebrated throughout. Encircled by majestic cypress trees and set within a sprawling estate of approximately 5 hectares, Podere Fabbrica comprises a main house and a separate annex, making it an ideal retreat for families, groups of friends, or multi-generational gatherings seeking both togetherness and privacy.
