A medieval hamlet restored situated in the very heart of the Tuscan countryside
Odina is a medieval hamlet, that has recently been restored and is situated in the very heart of the Tuscan countryside off the beaten track. At Odina there are no televisions, nor telephones in the bedrooms.
But, on the other hand there are thick forests of oak, chestnut and pine, where mushrooms and wild herbs grow. The whole area is a heaven for wildlife, hawks can often be seen circling overhead, deer graze on the wooded forest slopes, hare dart along country tracks, you might even be lucky enough to spot a wild boar by night as it strays from its hiding place amongst the trees. Squirrels too make their home in the lush green woods. Odina is an ideal choice for those seeking simple pleasures amidst the peace and tranquillity of this area. It is perfect for walking and mountain-biking with lots of hidden treasures to explore or even just for a relaxing time enjoying a good book or for meeting new friends Odina è is a medieval hamlet that hugs the slopes of the Pratomagno hills. It is well situated for Florence, Siena and Arezzo being only an hour away by car It is 650 metres above sea level and sits in a commanding position with a breathtaking view over the Arno Valley below and the rolling green Chianti Hills. Odina has four apartments which sleep from 2 to 6 people and an independent villa, which sleeps up to ten people. They have all been painstakingly restored by local craftsmen, thanks to the vision and flair of its owner. There is a large swimming pool (15x 7m) and a barbecue set amidst the beautifully laid out gardens. We pride ourselves on maintaining close contact with nature and on trying to have an impact as low as possible on the environment. In this respect the villas have been restored using natural materials such as wood, stones and tiles. Our herbs, fruits and vegetables are organically grown. Our guests are invited to have a respectful attitude toward the environment by recycling waste, saving water and electricity. Speaking of electricity: we are working on a project to convert the traditional system by using alternative energy sources such as biomass, wind and solar power.
