We let our guests visit our farmhouse and participate in picking grapes and olives. In the evening they may also visit our wine-cellar and taste a good wine. As far as we are able, we offer our guests our agricultural products grown in a natural way with no pesticides or other insect repellents.

Those who love walking or riding mountain-bikes may enjoy the several trekking paths that lead straight to our farm holidays and stretch into the wood. If you wish to arrange a tennis or a soccer match with your friends, you may rent the equipment at favourable rates in the village of Pomaia.

Nearby Facilities

Pomaia:
Pomaia is a little village set among the green hills of Pisa, placed in the beautiful Tuscany countryside. It is a typical Medieval stone village. The historical centre is made up of small houses and the only building is in the church square. It is probably the original core. During the last years, this village has become famous for a Tibetan Buddhist centre, from the same school of Dalai Lama, who has visited the centre several times. In this place of brotherhood and peace, the monks have built a little Tibetan centre, its chorten (stupas or statues), its prayers and its holy paintings. The visit of the Buddhist centre in Pomaia is a chance of inter-religious meeting.
Santa Luce:
It is set on the east slope of the valley of the river Fine and its borough stretches for 66.72 km² on the hill-side between Val d'Era and Valle del Savalano. The urban arrangement of the village is characteristic of the hilly villages. Santa Luce is made up of a bunch of houses lined with the walls that shielded the castle, now just a large tower and a piece of wall. During the years, the old village has not suffered remarkable changes. Beneath the first walls, the houses are lined following a probable second walls. There is also a church that rises on a Romanic floor and inside there is a superb baptismal font, carved in an alabaster block. An outstanding building is the Palace of Municipality (Palazzo Comunale) that keeps some features of a restoration made during 18th century.
La Pieve di Santa Luce:
This suburb is a typical agricultural village and Pieve rises on the top of it. It is of Romanic origin. In the past, the suburb and Pieve were two detached centres, but nowadays they are linked thanks to the buildings along the municipal road of Belvedere. Pieve has the most important architectonic assembly. It had two naves separated by six columns linked together by arches. It had several paintings and terracotta. It was rebuilt after the earthquake of 1846. Just some capitals of the columns, the octagonal monolithic baptismal font and a terracotta belonged to Della Robbia have been kept.
