Agriturismo al Palio sits at the centre of a 10 hectares holding founded in the late XIX century, where Michele and his family have been living since 1960. The holding lies at the foot of the Bosco di Lecceto on a hill (240 meters above sea level) that overlooks the town of Volte Basse and the Pian dei Mori. The borders are completely natural: the stream Rigo runs along the eastern boundary, to the south a romantic pine forest.
The family grows fruit, vegetables and officinal herbs, and produce wine, olive oil, vin santo and truffles. Thay also raise horses and enjoy the visit of many wild species (deer, wild boars, hedgehogs, etc.) who often at night pay a visit. Tortoises, squirrels, hoopoes, hares and buzzards are often seen.
The apartments are built in rural buildings dating back to 1888, renovated in 2002 purely Tuscan in style with wooden beams, terracotta floors and tastefully decorated with furniture belonging to the family for generations. Outside, guests have free access to the terrace and garden with gazebo, table and chairs, barbecue, parking space.
Half-board treatment can be offered on request. The family gladly organizes dinners or a nice lunch outdoors with grilled meat. Breakfast and dinner can vary according to season but always consist of dish produced within the company. Or recommend two taverns in the area who enjoy our full trust and all those who have so far visited their table.
