Our Products: it is possible to buy from the farm pur own grown and produced products. In order to avoid a long wait we have decided to put a few of the products together with those basic necessities in the porch where guests can take what they need and write down what they have taken and they will then be paid for on departure. Please do not hesitate to ask to taste the products during the week.

Guided Excursions: it is possible to book on request visits to the florentine museums and in particular the "Uffizi" gallery so as to avoid long waits at the ticket office.
