Just outside the medieval town walls and the ancient Porta Tufi, Il Lucherino overlooks the City of Siena. Its borders are the rough Chianti woodlands and the lunar atmosphere of the chalky Sienese landscape (the “crete senesi”), outlined by stark cypresses and colored in the warm, tawny tones of burnt Siena. Il Lucherino is in the very heart of the classic Tuscan countryside and yet just a stone’s throw away from the historical town center.The 5 comfortable, well-furnished apartments are simple in their design but refined in character. They each have lounges with television, a fully-equipped kitchen, and a even a laundry area.
Ideal for horseback riding and mountain bike outings along the ancient Francigena route, Il Lucherino offers its guests the advantages of its modern stables, which are the fruit of years of experience with horses and of the owners’ passion for the Palio and for the Contrade of Siena. Here, with know-how handed down for generations, thoroughbred and half-breed horses are raised and prepared for racing. This love for animals not only makes it possible to bring pets to Il Lucherino, but means they’re truly welcome!
Only a few kilometers from Il Lucherino the thermal spas of Rapolano and Petriolo, famed as far back as Roman times, offer their visitors a range of beauty and relaxation treatments.
