Farm Holiday in Tuscany, Crete Senesi-cipresso

In 1996 we moved to the Crete Senesi and we fell in love with this farmhouse Etruscan origins, medieval mill, peace and tranquility. That’s why we decided to share it with our guests and their four-legged friends. The farm keeps the whole family busy: Alessandro (biologist, nature guide and Sommelier), Elisa who looks after the administration, Mauro and Paola, retired but full time busy on the farm. And we hope that in the future even Emma and Guido will give us a helping hand. We produce vegetables and fruit, olive oil and truffles from organic agriculture. For our guests we organize a rich programe of initiatives discovering the colours and flavors of the Crete, wine tasting in our cozy winery and excursions by bike guided by Alessandro who is fond of cycling. In Asciano you cannot miss the Monte Oliveto Maggiore Abbey, the Palazzo Corboli Museum and a drive tour through one of the most photographed landscape of the world, the crete senesi.
