These are two splendid farmhouses at only a few km from Volterra, placed in the center of a large estate that extends over a sweet and suggestive hillside. The farmhouse allows many activities connected to agriculture ones or just for leisure. The area is rich in hiking and  biking paths for excursions. There is golf course available for our guests. At  the restaurant of the farmhouse you can enjoy the traditional Tuscan cuisine prepared by the owners themselves.
Giancarlo and Graziella are proud of what they carried out together with their family. By a great architectural restoration, they have given life back to two beautiful homesteads.

The position of the farmhouses offers a spectacular 360 degrees panorama of a breathtaking view: hillsides that change color according to the season, woods inhabited by wild pigs and deer, antique hamlets in the distance and open skies that never end.
The property expands over more that 220 hectares, where wheat, forage for livestock and  cattle raising are cultivated without the use of chemicals.
You find a park with a swimming pool, 2000 olive trees, a small vineyard, vegetable garden, golfing course and numerous panoramic natural terraces.
The apartments are quite comfortable and have been designed with accurate attention to secure tranquility to our guests while, the comfortable common spaces offer a pleasant occasion for aquaintance for guests coming from all over the world.

All interior furnishings follow the classic Tuscan style. The farm consists of two country homes: both structures have just recently been restored to their original splendor. The interior furnishings are of great prestige: chestnut beamed ceilings, original terra cotta floors, and bathrooms in white marble from Carrara. The entire structures can be rented or divided into two seperate apartments. Those of our guests who would like to partecipate on the farm and purchase our products (wine, oil, vinegar, vegetables, eggs, fruit, honey and milk) are welcome to do so.
We suggest to go on foot to the nearly Teatro del Silenzio, a splendid amphitheatre among the hills, built for our guests once a year in the month of July in occasion of Andrea Bocelli’s concert (see news), dedicated to Lajatico, his birth place.

July 2006’s concert was a magical evening and had great success. After the concert, a dinner in the garden  followed to celebrate Andrea. The photos of the event  remind the evening and show how this farmhouse is suitable for such a kind of events or any sort of similar purposes.Giancarlo and Graziella love hosting their guests and two evenings a week they organize a dinner prepared by natural products of the farmhouse built in the 1800’s.
Our aquaintance with Giancarlo and Graziella was very nice and warm. The whole estate was explained with a  enthusiasm and love. With a good and hot cup of tea we flipped through the pages of the photo albums and read the numerous thanks cards and sincere farewell cards that they received from their guests. All this shows, in a discreet but lovely way, the charming manner with which Giancarlo and Graziella manage their tourism business.
These are the practicable activities in the area:
hiking, photographic tour, sailing, painting class, golf, vespa tour, mountain bike, cooking class, horse riding, ballooning, Italian language class
