Cypress trees watching over the antique country
house, gentle hills and geometric vineyard rows; these are the
pictures that all over the world stand for the word Tuscany. Within
such a scenery we offer you the most characteristic form of
vacation in this region: the farmhouse holiday, known as agriturismo.
You will be the guest in an ancient farmhouse, restructured
according to the traditional Tuscan stile using the materials of
former times.
In the framework of the farm, you have the chance of sharing with us
the sunny side of rural life in Tuscany. You may learn how we cook bread and Focaccia in
Italy, using the ancient
wood-burning oven and enjoy home-made pasta together with our
agricultural products extra-virgin olive oil, biologic red wine or
sheep cheese. You are welcome to
participate to the seasonal farming activities such as olive picking
or
grape harvest. Just seeking for relax? Do so in the shadow of a
secular oak with a breathtaking view on Volterra. Or spend your time
exploring medieval towns and the
nearby cities of art, namely Siena, Florence and San Gimignano, just
to mention a few of them. Or else, after a day spent at the white sand beach of the
"Etruscan coast" between Cecina and Piombino, join one of
the many colourful festivals in the villages around us (see
things to do).
In country houses adjacent to the
stud Podere Palazzone and in the immediate surroundings we offer you
half board, bed and breakfast or self-catering accommodation in
- ancient traditional Tuscan
farmhouse or in
- b&b rural guesthouse.
In all holiday houses you may opt for independent
apartments with
bathroom and kitchen for four to six persons, or double bedrooms
including private restrooms, all provided with garden and
barbecue place. Tariffs vary according to the type of housing, season, number of guests and
duration of stay, starting (four guests, apartment one week):
Prices include bed clothes, towels, water, electricity, heating and final cleaning.
Accommodation for children up to including three years is free of
charge; children up to the age of including 12 years benefit from a
50% discount in the room with their parents.
Real outdoor-freaks may prefer
staying on the nearby farm-camping (agricampeggio) in the shadow of
olive, pine and holm trees, with a spectacular view of Volterra and
the "terre di Siena".
Start your day at the neighing of a horse (sorry,
we have no cock), do some horse riding in manège and enjoy horse
trekking through the Natural Park of Berignone Forest. If you
parents want your children to spend their holiday as horsemen while you
explore Tuscany your way, leave them with us for the day. They will
learn about hourses, have fun and share a genuine plate of spaghetti with us.
Contact
us with your wishes. We will promptly provide an offer that best
suits your requirements.
