The location
Localita Rofena is centrally located in one of the most beautiful parts, if not the most beautiful part, of Tuscany: in the middle of the triangle of Siena, San Gimignano and Volterra. The first "dilemma" in the morning after getting up is where to drink your espresso or cappuccino: in one of the nearby beautiful towns or in Casole d'Elsa (which rightly calls itself "Il cuore di Toscana", the heart of Tuscany): our own wonderful mountain village a few kilometers from Rofena. Or "just"  in Rofena itself...
Florence and Pisa, the coast, but also Montalcino (from the famous Brunello wine) and hot water bagnos  are about 1-1.5 hours away. The Chianti valley is a good fifteen minutes away. Siena (famous for the most beautiful square in the world and the Palio) is less than half an hour away. Hiking and biking in Tuscany is amazing!

Rofena
Rofena is an old farmhouse, a fattoria, probably from the 15th century. In and around the fattoria , 22 homes have been built for Dutch owners. The private property covers a total of about 11 hectares. The German-speaking Sicilian custode (concierge) will assist if needed.
The attraction of Rofena lies in its tranquility, amidst the overwhelming culture and nature of Tuscany. In the immediate vicinity are many swimming facilities: luxurious and/or aimed at families, in rivers or in the old Etruscan bath. How about a bagno in a hot spring?
Around Rofena you can make beautiful walks and bike rides. And... You can work there just fine thanks to the internet.

Casole d'Elsa
This beautiful Tuscan mini-town rightly calls itself "Il cuore di Toscana", the heart of Tuscany. It is located 3 kilometers from Rofena, has around 3000 inhabitants and is classically located on the top of the hill with sublime views all around. It has the typical Tuscan medieval look. Partly thanks to the enthusiastic mayor, there are several theaters and museums. The center is equipped with restaurants and shops with almost everything you need on a daily basis. If you do need something special, you'll no doubt find it in nearby Colle Di Val d'Elsa (20 minutes' drive) or Poggibonsi (half an hour).

Immediate surroundings
Towns and landscapes that appeal to the imagination: 
. Siena (the Palio on July 2 and August 16 is a must-see once in your life!), 
. San Gimignano (the town with the Manhattan look alike towers on a Tuscan scale), 
. Volterra (medieval, mysterious, Etruscan, and full of truffle specialties and alabaster), 
. Monteriggioni (medieval fortress with good restaurants), 
. Chianti: the Scenically extremely beautiful Chianti Valley, famous for the Chianti wine made from the Sangiovese grape, but also for beautiful towns and villages such as
. Radda and Greve.
. Bargino: The modern architecture lover goes for half a day to the brand new spectacular cantina (winery) of the Antinori wine family (you can also have a good lunch there!), or else to
. the open-air theater of the Bocelli family near Lajatico. 
. And then we have cities such as Florence, Lucca, Pisa and Arezzo about an hour's drive away. No explanation needed!
. Your day trip to the Val d'Orcia and the papal mini-town of Pienza from the 15th century (both World Heritage Heritage) is complete with your visit to the wine towns of Montepulciano and Montalcino (tip: go and taste the delicious Brunello in the Enoteca on the stage of the castle theater in Montalcino). 
. Walking, cycling, swimming, golf (several golf courses in the area, but the most beautiful golf course in the world is in Castelfalvi.

Tuscany
Wherever in the world: almost everyone has at least heard of Tuscany. Who wouldn't want to stay in Tuscany and enjoy the culture and nature. In Tuscany, the cradle of Western culture is visible in the buildings, the museums and the beautiful landscape designed by the best architect ever, De Tijd. The Tuscan food is refined, and at the same time simple. Chianti wine is part of that!
And in the beautiful nature you can enjoy hiking, walking, cycling and relaxing.
