Our farm is located in Tuscany, Italy, close to the picturesque medieval town of Siena (9 Km).
With short trips, you can reach the castle of Monteriggioni, S. Gimignano, Volterra, Montepulciano, Pienza, the Chianti area, Firenze and all major centers of tourist interest.
The small village of S. Colomba is the nearest inhabited center, about 1 kilometer away. There you can find Villa, an interesting medieval church and a very nice restaurant.
The countryside around our farm is called the Sienese Montagnola. Pristine woods make room for cultivated areas, vinyards and olive tree orchards. Winding paths meander through the dense oak woods leading to old churches and villages.
From La Gavina you can reach Monteriggioni, Abbadia Isola, the Castle of Celsa or the picturesque medieval monastery of
S. Leonardo al Lago in a few hour walks.
In addition to a large variety of plants and flowers, the woods are host to numerous wild animals such as boars, deer, goats, badgers, wolves, porcupines, pheasants, doves and others.
