This large working agricultural farm and characteristic estate is situated in the heart of the Maremma region,
a region where the Etruscan and Roman ancestry have strongly left their traces.
The estate lies not far from the medieval castle of Paganico which was built as a defence for the town of Siena.
In medieval times it belonged to the mighty Aldobrandeschi family. It was taken over by the nobleman Patrizi
at the beginning of the 20th century and in 1922 the estate was bought by the Uzielli family and then leased out.
Today the estate uses both traditional and modern organic methods of farming its crops, which include cereals and animal feed,
and also tends to forestry and the breeding of cattle and Maremma horses.
The Agriturismo was established and developed to permit tourists to experience and enjoy a holiday with a difference in
traditional and authentic rural surroundings.
Formerly an old farming estate, today the Agriturismo is a characterful farmhouse which has been tastefully renovated
and converted into 5 apartments, accommodating from 2-8 people. It enjoys its own private swimming pool and charming
spacious gardens. A barbeque and grill area is also available for romantic evenings and outside dining.
Each apartment contains:
- spacious and comfortable bedroom
- private bathroom (shower, WC)
- central heating in all rooms
- kitchen area with fridge and dishwasher
- satellite TV
- private garden area
Agriturismo Paganico is set down farming tracks, close to a quiet country road (1 km), enjoying a very tranquil and
secluded position with beautiful scenery.
Nearby, just 1 km away, is the
Country Manor Paganico 2 which has an organic farm shop, an internet-point, a small restaurant and a lounge area with a reading room
available for guests.
The Agriturismo Paganico and the Country Manor Paganico are run by the same owner.
