"Words are not enough. Soiano is great!" - that is what our guests say

The description of this beautiful place is quite forward. It can be said shortly - the place has everything - wonderful, home-cooked food, a warm and welcoming family, pool with children's pool, fitness room and relaxing atmosphere. Then season it with breathtaking views!

Soiano is located in the triangle between Florence, Pisa and Siena in one of the most beautiful landscapes of Tuscany. Nearest town is Montaione, a small medieval town with a few shops, 2 supermarkets, restaurants and cafes. In the city there are often events in the town square which is the focal point for locals. 

The family Rolfini, Tiberio and Lara, maintain the country house, and is a warm and dedicated young family, and you will find that you almost become part of the family here. They produce wine and oil, and these are important ingredients in their life and in the kitchen as Tiberio controls with expert hand. They have a big garden with lots of fresh vegetables that are being used in the kitchen, and you will also be able to use these fresh ingredients with the help of Lara or Tiberio. 

The country house is composed by 8 apartments, some apartments have a private terrace, and the other share common areas where there is garden furniture for all.
