Farmhouse Lara has been at the heart of a working farm since 1894. The farm produces top quality cereals, wine and olives, and also offers marvellous holiday accommodation in Tuscany.

Situated among rolling Tuscan hills in the beautiful countryside near San Gimignano (6km away), this is a small, character property offering guests a secluded, tranquil location in one of the most sought after areas of Tuscany. This 18th century building also lies close to Siena and Florence.

The eight Tuscan holiday apartments are set within 200 hectares of working farmland, vineyards and olive groves, with 25 hectares of vineyards in production. The farm has been carefully and beautifully restored and offers guests a splendid standard of accommodation. Next to the apartments is an outdoor pool and children�s play area. The reception and tennis court are located 800m away. The owners' produce (including the famous Chianti and Vernaccia di San Gimignano wines) can be sampled and bought at reception.

Each apartment offers a private outside space with tables and parasols. The house also has a large and beautiful communal terrace which stretches above the valley dominating the lake.
