Property Summary
Nestled in the rolling hills of Scansano, in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, Podere Le Caprarecce is a beautifully restored stone farmhouse that offers an exceptional vacation rental experience for up to 8 guests. This remarkable property is the result of a meticulous recovery of a late nineteenth-century agricultural residence, where original materials such as barberino stone walls, antique terracotta floors, and exposed chestnut ceiling beams have been lovingly preserved and integrated with local handicraft products. Set within the celebrated wine area of Morellino di Scansano, the estate is immersed in a landscape of cultivated terrain planted with vines and olive trees, framed by the characteristic hilly morphology of the Maremma. The property extends over 5,000 square metres of fenced grounds, offering generous outdoor spaces including a private swimming pool and a lush yard planted with cypresses, oaks, and fragrant Mediterranean shrubs. Reliable Wi-Fi connectivity is available throughout the property, ensuring guests remain connected during their stay. Parking for up to 4 vehicles is available on-site, both along the cypress-lined gravel driveway and in a more secluded area at a lower level.

Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Podere Le Caprarecce are as captivating as the interiors, offering a seamless connection between the built environment and the surrounding Maremma landscape. The fenced property is enclosed by low walls, hedges, and wire mesh with wide openings, making it particularly suitable for medium to large dogs. The area surrounding the two buildings is covered in lawn and planted with cypresses and oaks that provide pleasant shaded areas throughout the day, while oleander, helichrysum, rosemary, and laurel perfume the summer air. In the lower-sloping section of the terrain, olive trees and shrubs typical of the Maremma complete the natural scenery.
Between the farmhouse and the annex, a pergola covered in American vine provides a charming alfresco dining area, furnished with a table and chairs and ideal for outdoor meals in the shade. The lower part of the park also features a ping-pong table and a basketball hoop mounted on the annex wall, offering recreational options for guests of all ages.

Description
Galleria di Brolio is an old stone farmhouse whose origins date back to 1800, located between two of the most important towns of the Valdichiana, Castiglion Fiorentino and Foiano, and which is now part of the owners' farm. You will find the farmhouse just a few kilometres from the two towns and in both, as well as various monuments and sites of artistic interest that are definitely worth a visit, you will have shops, restaurants and all kinds of services. The small historic centres of the villages will be a pleasant destination for your aperitifs or dinners at the restaurant.
The farmhouse takes its name from the Galleria di Brolio, a conduit that is still in operation today and is located on the edge of the olive grove. The conduit is part of the canal built between 1932 and 1940 to improve the flow of water towards the Arno, planned by the engineer Vittorio Fossombroni for the reclamation of the valley at the end of the 18th century.
Galleria di Brolio is situated on the edge of a wood of about 20 hectares of oaks and pines used as a hunting reserve for the repopulation of animals; they live here in the utmost freedom and if you love wildlife you will frequently see hares and pheasants running in the olive grove, the vineyard and even in the house lawn.
On the ground floor there is the apartment where the owners live, as well as a cellar and a shed for the farm's agricultural tools, while the first floor is reserved for you. The furnishings are very nice and comfortable, enriched with local antiques, and blend in perfectly with the old features of the house. Not far away, on the other side of the wood, passes the railway line that connects central Italy with the main cities of the peninsula (Florence, Bologna, Rome, Milan), so it will be easy to move around even without a car.
A few metres from the house, surrounded by silver olive trees, you will find a beautiful swimming pool completely fenced and for your exclusive use (size 11x5 m, depth 1.10-1.40 m - open from 01st May to 30th September), together with a gazebo equipped with garden furniture, which will allow you to shelter from the hot summer sun.
There is also a large pergola supplied with wrought iron furniture for eating outside, equipped with a barbecue and a wood-burning oven, for those evenings when you want to enjoy a pizza or a grill “al fresco”.
The owner, on request, will prepare excellent typical Tuscan dinners and pizzas in the wood-fired oven which, we are told by customers who have stayed at the house, are truly delicious.
