About Us

Our History

The name Le Caldanelle is mentioned for the first time in a XV-century document as a staging post where Pope Pius II would stop in his trips to and from Siena and Rome. Le Caldanelle was probably the name of the stream, with its natural hot (caldo) springs, that is still running at the bottom of the property. The Department of Archeology of the University of Siena has set up a working site to study the remains of the buildings that are still visible.
Our family has owned the property for about a century. It includes not only the apartments that we rent, with a big garden and a pool, but also many hectars of woods through which guests can freely walk, as well as a medioeval pathway called “Strada della Pia” that has been restored recently. Needless to say, guests are also welcome to bath in the stream and experience its hot springs.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at San Ansano Agriturismo Le Caldanelle. We stayed in Apartment A2 and our stay exceeded our expectations; very nice, clean and confortable, very great kitchen and sittingroom. t. The swimming pool was really nice and had an astonishing view on the valley and Pari. There were also may wonderful trails to hike. And all within 30 minutes driving to Sienna and many more fasinating small towns. This was a real oasis and we feel very fortunate to have been able to stay here. We highly recommend staying here to future travelers.

Wonderful location in the middle of the countryside, yet Siena is only 15 minutes away. The apartment is fully renewed: comfortable, quiet, in many ways ideal. Walk around the property for some breathtaking views. We wholeheartedly recommend it.

Die großzügige Wohnung ist mit allen Dingen ausgestattet, die man braucht. Es gibt eine wunderschöne Terrasse zum Essen, einen Grillplatz, einen Pool und Liegen im Garten.

Viel Platz für uns als fünfköpfige Familie! Tolle Aussicht von Terrasse und Pool, nur 35 Minuten nach Siena oder 2 Minuten ins liebliche Pari mit einem Cafe und einem kleinen Laden. Sehr empfehlenswert! Den Pool musste ich jedoch mehrmals selbst von Tieren und Laub befreien...

After driving down a small tree covered drive it opens up to reveal two rustic buildings, an outdoor kitchen, EXACTLY what you see in the photos. Martin greeted us showed us around and had been at the property for some time waiting for our bag to be delivered (lour bag arrived from the airport before we did) The property is stunning. .. Of course the pool was perfect for actually relaxing and enjoying our time. We did a few day trips (Radda, Montalcino, the beach town nearby) and enjoyed the sulfur baths - if you drive past the "main" area and the spa you can just park on the side of the road and hike down - AWESOME!...

Quite the nicest outside space and view across to Pari we've ever had on holiday. The generous loggia provided the perfect spot for lazy days and balmy evenings. We appreciated the peace and tranquility of the setting, the comfort and spaciousness of the apartment and the friendliness of the owner. The Maremma coast is stunning and with numerous trips possible to a variety of towns you're not short of things to do either.

Die Beschreibung der Wohnung war absolut zutreffend. Sie ist sehr geräumig, alle drei Schlafzimmer sind groß, ebenso die Küche. Es gibt genug Abstellmöglichkeiten und Stauraum. Die neuen Bäder sind sehr schön. Die zur Wohnung gehörende große Terrasse, die auch Schatten bietet, haben wir besonders viel genutzt. Von dort aus hat man einen tollen Blick auf die umliegende Landschaft. Erwähnenswert auch die dicht abschließenden Fliegengitter vor den Fenstern! Der Verwalter Martin war sehr hilfreich, insbesondere mit Tipps für Restaurants. Wir (Familie, 5 Personen) haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt. Klare Empfehlung!

A family of 6, we found apartment A3 to offer spacious and gracious accommodation for us all. We ate most days in the lovely terrace which offers splendid views over the valley and the little village of Pari. The pool and sunbed area was just below and is accurately captured in the website photographs, what more is there to say? We did leave this lovely base most days on various trips (Siena twice, beach at Castiglione twice, acquapark at Follonica as well as Montalcino, Saturnia springs, Pitigliano, Montalcino, Montepulciano, San Galgano etc) but it was always a pleasure to return and enjoy San Ansano.

My family and I spent a week here last August. It was PERFECT. The property manager was amazingly kind and very willing to help in any way, the views were fantastic, and everything exceeded expectations. The house was perfect. We had a lot of fun at the pool on lazy days, walked to the nearby village of Pari, and did some day trips to Florence, Siena and the beach. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone and everyone!

Our arrival, settling in and day to day living were seamless and the management was most helpful as well as unobtrusive. The farm and village of Pari are just wonderful, and farm is positioned strategically regarding Sienna, the beach near Grosseto and Florence. The pool was perfect for the hot summer days. The farmhouse with those thick walls was comfortably cool though.

Big, spacious apartment, surrounded by stunning views. Great customer service and very peaceful. Wifi, not to far from Siena. We loved it.
