The farm ‘Moro Fiacchi’ that hosts "The Harvest Moon" holiday house, is a typical Tuscan country mansion from the XVII century, With a spectacular pool overlooking the boundless valley, it sits in the very heart of the Val D’Orcia Artistic, Natural and Cultural Park, a short distance away from sites of particular historic and artistic interest (Pienza, Montalcino, S.Quirico d’Orcia, Montepulciano), from thermal baths (Bagni S. Filippo, Bagno Vignoni, Chianciano Terme, San Casciano dei Bagni, Rapolano Terme) and from Amiata Mountain, where one can stroll through chestnut and oak tree woods or follow the meandering of torrents that slope down into the Orcia river. The surrounding coutryside, with its soft hills, is likewise an ideal place for mountain-biking (rentable at the farm) and horseriding, departing from the nearby riding school.
The Farmhouse ‘Moro Fiacchi’ consists of the following four apartments particularly fit to host up to 22 people:
- the Green House, situated in the courtyard right in front of the swimming pool, consists of a large living room with cooking corner and two large divan beds (one single, one double) in front of the fireplace; it has two cosy bedrooms, both provided with king-size or twin beds and private bathroom.
- the Red House, with direct access to the garden and the swimming pool, consists of a large living room with cooking corner and a comfortable divan bed in front of the fireplace, a bedroom with king-size or twin bed, a bathroom accessible from the living room and a main bedroom with king-size bed plus large en-suite bathroom.
- the Yellow House, with direct access to the garden and the swimming pool, consists of a large living room with two single divan beds in front of the fireplace, an independent little kitchen, a large bedroom with king-size bed and a bathroom accessible from both the living and the bedroom;
- the Blue House, situated on the first floor, consists of a large living room with cooking corner and a comfortable sofa in front of the fireplace; a large main bedroom overlooking the valley through 4 wide windows and provided with king-size bed, working desk, fireplace and en-suite large bathroom; two additional bedrooms with queen-size beds and bathroom.
