Tuscan Apt · Valley Views · Jacuzzi · Gym · 1-5 Month Stays · EUR31/pax/night

Fully furnished Tuscan apt with panoramic valley views for mid-term stays. Full kitchen, laundry, 50Mbps WiFi, utilities included, olive grove jacuzzi + gym.

Il Fienile is a private first-floor apartment in an 18th-century organic farmhouse above Pescia — available as an extended stay of one to five months between November 2026 and March 2027. It is for two people who have decided to stop visiting Tuscany and start living in it for a season.

The apartment takes its name from the hayloft it once was. Its defining feature — the one long-stay guests consistently describe as the thing they did not expect to matter as much as it does — is a large picture window that frames the valley below completely. In winter that view is specific: misted valley floor in the mornings, sharp pale hills on clear days, the particular low Tuscan light that painters have been trying to capture for five centuries.

The Space — Fully Furnished, Mid-Term Ready
• Large picture window with panoramic Svizzera Pesciatina valley views
• Open-plan kitchen and living area with dining table
• Double bedroom with quality mattress and fresh linen
• Private bathroom with walk-in shower, bidet
• Fully equipped kitchen: oven, hob, dishwasher, coffee machine, kettle, refrigerator, full cookware
• Elevated first-floor position — the quietest apartment on the estate

Note: Il Fienile is accessed by an external stone staircase. For guests with significant mobility requirements, La Stalla or L’Arancio (both ground floor) are more practical.

Remote Work Setup — Ready for Digital Nomads & Extended Stays

• 50Mbps WiFi — tested stable for video calls and remote work
• Quiet elevated workspace with valley views — the rare home office you actually want to sit at
• Two washing machines on-site — on-property laundry, no laundrette runs
• Quiet neighbourhood — no road noise, no urban rush
• Free private parking · EV charger on-site

Outdoor Living & Wellness — Gym & Fitness Zone, Jacuzzi, Cold Plunge

La Marginella’s outdoor spaces are built for long stays. The wood-fired outdoor jacuzzi sits inside the olive grove — not adjacent, not overlooking, but within ancient trees that predate the farmhouse. From Il Fienile’s elevated position you can see it at night, the fire lit, smoke rising through dark olive branches.
• Wood-fired outdoor jacuzzi set within the ancient olive grove
• Cold plunge pool alongside the jacuzzi
• Outdoor fitness zone with functional training equipment
• Swimming pool with unobstructed valley views (warmer months)
• BBQ grills on the outdoor dining terrace

November at La Marginella — The Olive Harvest
Guests arriving in November can witness or join the olive harvest — one of the oldest agricultural rituals in the Tuscan hills. The same groves surrounding the farmhouse produce the certified IGP extra virgin olive oil that could be on your kitchen table. Giovanni welcomes long-stay guests to pick, watch, or simply stand in the grove while it happens.

Living at La Marginella — A Working Organic Estate
La Marginella is a working organic estate, and over a long stay its rhythms become yours. The olive harvest in November. The changing vegetable garden. Citrus fruiting through winter. The estate’s certified IGP olive oil and Giovanni’s homemade limoncello waiting on arrival.

The pool, grounds and olive grove are yours to use freely. After a fortnight you will have your own route through the Svizzera Pesciatina hills and your own pace along it.
