Horse trekking
Tuscany has a very particular countryside for its colors, its lights, its landscape and its perfumes which are unique only to Tuscany. You may enjoy it the way you like best; we suggest to do so on horseback. Join us at the stud-farm Podere Palazzone for horse riding through typical Tuscan hillside. We ride on remote trails, along cypress alleys, vine and olive yards, reaching small chapels and ancient farmhouses. In the the Natural Reserve "Foresta di Berignone", an endless forest populated by deer and moufflons, we cross rivers and experience horse-swimming in the clear waters of the "Masso delle Fanciulle". We may observe a wild boar strolling around with its kids and enjoy extend gallop.
Agriturismo
Horse riding and more: Tuscany has turned living into a real Tuscan lifestyle. Experience it during your stay at one of our agriturismo, where you are welcome all over the year in a marvelous ancient farmhouse, whether b&b, half board or self catering. You may chose to get involved in the sunny sides of local farming, such as the grape harvest, or more easily enjoy its products at the dining-table. The Tuscan cuisine is based on simple genuine dishes, enriched by the wise use of herbs; a tradition delivered over generations. Our delicious extra-virgin olive oil is something you shouldn't miss. Obviously the paramount Tuscan delight is the Bistecca alla Fiorentina. We barbeque it on abundant holm embers and accompany it with a genuine glass of home made wine. Our infintiy pool offers refreshment from spring to fall. With its view on Volterra and the surrounding hills it is a feast for the eyes - and for the spirit.
