Podere Cortinova (loc. Marrocco - SIENA)
Overlooking Siena, its “crete” and towers, Podere Cortinova is located only 20 kilometres from this town. Surrounded by a 20-hectare olive grove and by wood and Mediterranean maquis with holm-oaks, Turkey oaks, strawberry-trees and heather, it has very ancient origins. In fact, in 1895, while a vineyard was being planted, an Etruscan chamber tomb with frescoes was found and this bears witness to the fact that the country house was already inhabited in those ancient times. In the wood you can still find arrow heads made of flintstone and other remains of stone and bone furnishing and fittings.
The complex is made up of eight 2-8 place units, all connected with one another. The units are elegantly furnished with period furniture and are all equipped with satellite TV.

About 50 metres from the complex, immersed into the green landscape of the olive grove, there is the swimming pool (16 x 8 metres) from which you can enjoy a scenic view of Siena and its “crete”.
In the complex there are two traditional wood-burning ovens for cooking bread and pizzas; one of them is located under a superb ancient 150- square metre roof made of flat tiles and bricks, propped by a typical Tuscan-style round column, with stone flooring. In the courtyard there is a small stone well and the floor is stone-paved.
