The farm was once a fortified village, but today it has rustic apartments and offers an eventful holiday in the hills a short distance from Florence (15 km). The farm produces large amounts of olive oil and wine, which is for sale at the reception or in the restaurant, open 2-3 evenings a week.

Uliveta
Rustico
The apartments are either in the main building, the newer Girasoli or in the two nearby farmhouses Rustico and Uliveta. Both farmhouses are approx. 500 m from the main building. A swimming pool is approx. 100 m from the apartments and parking is available by the house. You can request accommodation either in the main building or the more rurally located farmhouses, but unfortunately we cannot guarantee the location.
The restaurant
The farm has a garden, two swimming pools (one by the main building and one between Rustico and Uliveta). The pools are 17 x 7 m and 15 x 5 m respectively. The largest is 75-135 cm deep and the smaller one 90-135 cm deep. Other amenities include tennis court, bike hire, horse riding and laundry room. In addition to home made olive oil, wine and honey, other delicacies and specialities are also for sale. Once a week there is a conducted tour around the farm.
The place is particularly recommended to families who will find plenty of entertainment and activities for children and teenagers, a pleasant environment full of Tuscan atmosphere and spectacular views over the vineyards. There are good opportunities for excursions to well known towns including Florence, Siena, Vallombrosa, Reggello, San Gimignano and Greve in Chianti, which are all under an hour's drive.
