This magnificent farmhouse
traces its construction back to the beginning of the last century.
Undoubtedly, the builders of this home were struck by the natural
beauty of the area and the commanding view that the structure would
offer.
Beautiful valleys flank it on both sides and
San Gimignano can be admired before it in the distance. In those
years the valleys were full of much more wildlife than there is
today; in particular, there was a large population of foxes.
From their presence comes the name "Le Volpaie"
('fox' in Italian is 'volpe').
