Le Capanne

Who We Are

We are one family with three generations

We are one family with three generations, several animals and many olive trees tucked away in the Tuscan hills. Each of us has his or her own personality but we all have in common the same deep love and respect for the Earth.

For the traveller who, apart from resting and relaxing in Nature, is interested in finding out more about what lies behind a comfortable apartment or a clean swimming-pool…we offer to share our history of varied voices: from those of the grandparents, which tell of a life of hard but gratifying work in the fields, to that of the granddaughter trying to combine her life as an academic researcher on sustainability, with the ancestral calling to Nature.

GET TO KNOW US BETTER

chi-siamo-maria

Maria, the wise grandmother grown according to the rhythm of Nature. She speaks only Italian, but her expressive hands and eyes speak on her behalf.

chi-siamo-andreina

Andreina, she takes care of all the complex bureaucracy which a farm, although small, entails. When she is not busy with business paperwork, she immerses herself fully in painting, as evidenced by the many canvases in your apartment.

chi-siamo-amelia

Amelia, she is the “organising soul” of the family, we rely on her for every practical necessity and she always has the right solution.

chi-siamo-renato

Renato, the only male in a family entirely composed of females (including the cats) with all that this implies…he is always ready to enjoy a hot coffee in company.

chi-siamo-francesca

Francesca, in love with Nature, committed to combining country life at Le Capanne with her research activities.

Questioning chicken

The lazy cats, which you might see lying in the sun.
The hens and ducks, always waiting for our guests to throw them vegetables and fruit leftovers (everything is recycled here :))
