Near the ancient water fountain of the Poet, on the hills of Tuscany, it is [still] possible to enjoy a vacation immersed in the atmosphere of a farm, a fairy tale among the geese and hens, the cows and horses.
Here men, women and animals live and work together to realize a dream of an organic oasis, being as much as possible self-sustainable.
Guests if they like can participate in the farm activities or simply relax in one of the two cosy apartments, which have recently been totally refurbished.
Maya and Cleo, two lively ponies, will provide plenty of entertainment for our youngest guests, always being available for rides and fun. For our older guests our horses Linda and Gina are great for rides and excursions, being so patient and well trained, that even people who might be a little afraid of larger animals will be able to have fun with one of man’s best friends.
At our place, meals follow the rhythm of the seasons, the aroma and flavors of the orchard. Extra virgin olive oil produced on location in all its simplicity accompanies all of our dishes. If you want to try to prepare your own meals, you can come with us to the orchard to pick the vegetables you like, and we will give you helpful tips on how to prepare them.
The farmhouse complex was built around an old medieval tower, on a sun drenched location at a height of 400 meters (1300 feet).
Though the farm “The Poet” is immersed in surrounding woods and olive trees, it is perfectly situated to offer a variety of daily outings and activities to the guests. Being only 30 km (18 miles) away from Florence, it makes it easy to have a cultural outing to Florence to alternate with the peace of the country side. Nearby there are also numerous, well-marked nature paths for walks, trekking or mountain biking (bikes made available to guests), away from traffic roads and starting directly from the complex. And going fishing is only a short excursion away, at a small lake in the valley beneath the farm house.
