Our Agriturismo is immersed in the Chianti countryside: beautifull rolling hills with roads lined with vinyards, olive groves, cipress trees. The perfect backdrop for our apartments created from the old farmhouse and workers cottages.
All the apartments have been loveling restored respecting the traditional antique characteristics of rural country properties in Tuscany with beamed celings, stone floors and arches. We are continuing to respect the traditions of Tuscany, working on the land, cultivating our olive groves and keeping animals on the farm together with our stable of horses.
The products of our labour can still be purchased directly from the farm such as extra vergin olive oil, jams and marmelades, cheeses, eggs, meat and salumis. Where possible we use our own products in the dishes served in our Taverna where you can finish the day trying traditional tuscan meals and enjoying a glass of Chianti.If you are in search of somewhere to relax in peace and quite than the swimming pool (Usable until 15 October) and the panoramic terrace with its sunbeds is the perfect place for you.For the more sporty amongst you there are walking paths, mountain bike trails and horse trekking available.
