In the lower-sloping section of the terrain, olive trees and shrubs typical of the Maremma complete the natural scenery.
Between the farmhouse and the annex, a pergola covered in American vine provides a charming alfresco dining area, furnished with a table and chairs and ideal for outdoor meals in the shade.
