Barberino Val d’Elsa (Firenze)
We bought this farm more than 40 years ago, when everybody moved from the countryside to the cities. The soil was obviously uncultivated, the house was in ruins and the hay loft was crumbling.
Our father planted with great passion 15 hectares of new vineyards, looked after the olive trees and rebuilt the main building with the annexed wine cellar.
The old cattle shed was transformed into a large living room with arches and cross vaults made of bricks.
The farm continued producing wine and olive oil but the house was used for many years only as a manor house. In 1987 we started thinking about using it as an accommodation for tourists.
Our guests can taste all our products, carefully instructed by the masters of the house, Nino and Cesare. They welcome the guests and take care, with discretion, that their holiday leaves nothing to be desired..
