In this atmosphere, the hosts invite you to rest from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. They also encourage you to try simple and delicious regional cuisine; its meals are based on fresh ingredients which come from home-grown organic crops.
The garden delights with its greenery; there are: big swimming pool with hydro massage (15m x 9m), playground, mountain bikes, barbecue and covered parking place at guests’ disposal. There is also a stable with horses nearby and for the golfers – golf courses.
One can enjoy benefits of Tuscany here – peace, relax under its sun, great wine and olive oil, as well as tasty and simple cuisine.
Wine and olive oil come from home-grown crops of the owner who has his own vineyard and olive grove with a thousand olive trees, surrounding the house which is located approximately 1.5km from the farm. There is also a vegetable garden which delights with its variety of soup greens.
