Discover the flavors of Italy with a Tuscany Cooking Class Experience!
In the heart of the Tuscan countryside, we are an eco-friendly and fully self-sustainable farm and agriturismo. Our farm has 6 hectares of arable land planted with ancient grains and olives and it sits alongside 6 hectares of lush forest. Here we produce nutritious ancient grains, flour for breads and pasta, jams from ancient fruits, Tuscan herbs and salts, as well as the delicious extra virgin olive oil that our town is well known for. We also grow medicinal and officinal plants, vegetables, fruits and receive fresh eggs from our chickens daily. In our newly renovated farmhouse, originally built in the 1500s, we offer refreshing and relaxing agriturismo stays just outside of the hustle and bustle of Florentine city life.
