    We are travelling with our 12 yr old daughter through Italy. Everyone talks abt trying a farmhouse/b&b/villa experience. Now I know tht the word Spartan definitely originated here! The conditions border scary. And no a/c? I want my daughter to experience this and interact with a

    local family but I don't know if we can hack it. I've spent two wks online looking for something updated/nice but there's nothing in the Siena/ San Gimignano area. Any ideas/experiences you care to share?

    Shld we suck it up for a few nights because the experience outweighs everything else.

    Someone suggested this organic farmhouse property called Fattoria Poggio Alloro tht raise their own cattle, produce their own wine, honey, olive oil, saffron, etc.. Nice family tht runs it. Nice on paper but rooms are SPARTAN! Can't imagine wht the bathrms look like.

    Hello Wanderlust,
    Do contact me on info@akvillas.com and have a look at www.akvillas.com. Belvedere, in Tuscany, might tick the right boxes. It's very authentic but not what you'd describe as spartan. It's set within a working vineyard in the heart of Chianti. You don't have to be uncomfortable to experience something authentic. La Vernaccia is also set in a great location - close to San Gimignano in Chianti and within easy reach of Siena. If you want to contact us through the above link and mention you heard of us through Extravagator then I'll remember you!
    Best wishes,
    Sarah-Leigh
