Tenuta la Pieve lies on the gentle hills which face the valley
separating Valdarno, Valdichiana and Valdambra at the same distance from
Florence, Siena and Arezzo. Its original group building goes back to 1250
AD and it was erected within a fortified area named “Castello della pieve”
as already mentioned and drawn in the captains cartographies, when Ser
Ristoro, the leader of that family who was later named Serristori, was
encharged with the running of estates with vines and olive-trees belonging
to the Diocesi of Badia Agnano.
During July 1554AD the castle was ravaged and burnt down by the
troops of Piero Strozzi, banished from Florence and allied with Siena and
with the King of France.
The castle was then rebuilt but it lost its military purpose.
Inside it was finely renovated by expert craftsmen and outside a
beautiful Italian garden which is now surrounded by laurel hedges was
added.
At the end of 1770AD, a panoramic terrace was finished and it
overlooks the fields and the valleys which are full of vines and olive
trees.
The farm on the grounds has for years been producing extra virgin
olive oil, giving maximum attention to biological cultivation techniques.
Two old farmhouses named Casale La Valle and Casale Presciano,
located on the land of the Estate La Pieve have been recently charmingly
restored. Casale La Valle is divided into six and Casale Presciano into
four delightful apartments
available for holidays stays. Each apartment has private entrance
and its own out area equipped with table and chairs for “al fresco
dinners”.
At the guests’ disposal: wide garden equipped with table and chairs,
BBQ; swimming pool on two levels (12 x 6 mts – deep 1.20 – 2.50) at La
Valle and an irregular shape pool (14 x 7 mts) at Presciano.
The nearest village is Pieve a Presciano, about 400 mts away from
both properties, guests can find a grocery, a butcher shop and a bakery.
