Ancient farmhouse of peasant origins. Villa Brolio is an ancient stone farmhouse which origins are dated back to 1800.

The farmhouse is only a few km away from the two towns where you can find, besides monuments and sites of artistic interest, shops, restaurants and all kind of service. The house takes its name from the canal still operating today, located on the edge of the olive grove and part of the old canal built between 1932 and 1940 to improve the outflow of waters towards the Arno, already contemplated by engineer Vittorio Fossombroni for the reclamation of the valley at the end of the 18th century.
