Elena and her husband Mario bought the farm in the eightees and the two are combining comfort with warm hospitality, making a stay a unique relaxing experience.

Facing many troubles with the purchase of such a huge property, only at the beginning of 1990s Mario and Elena started to devote themselves completely to this enchanting land. Little by little, faithfully and calmly, they made this farm the purpose of their lives. The 4 farmhouses were completely restored and subdivided into 10 apartments and 4 suites, respecting the architectonic features of a typical Chianti-farmhouse: thick stone walls, terracotta floors and wooden beam ceilings. The apartments were furnished with antiques and keepsakes of the family that have been conserved for years.

Underneath the houses is located the huge swimming pool (13 x 6 mt), a terrace and the barbecue, ideal to enjoy the peaceful moments in the Tuscan countryside.
Next to the pool, the Limonaia ("lemon-house"), a spacious room with pergola in front and furnished inside with marble tables, antique glass cupboards, chests and stone sinks, where in the morning breakfast is served or, where usually the cooking courses or business meetings take place.
