Franco and Lia Lombardi are part of the breed of neo farmers migrating from major cities in search of a slower-paced lifestyle where basic values of life are emphasized in everyday living. Franco Lombardi has taken on the role of producer of top-quality olive oil with great passion and conducts weekly seminars and tastings on the subject. Franco and Lia have carefully restored the main house and two stone built barns, Capannino and Leccino, renovated to excellent standards and appointed with the same warm style as their own home, with antique furniture enhancing beamed ceilings and cotto floors. Pornanino can be located ten minutes drive from Radda in Chianti. Radda is a lovely hill-top medieval town with cobbled streets and a good choice of restaurants and bar. Castellina in Chianti is 5 kms away, Florence 32 kms and Siena 20 kms. San Gimignano, Volterra, Arezzo, and many other attractive towns are within easy reach .
