About the host
Hosted by Andrea Passigli
Lorenzo, a graduate in Agricultural Sciences, works in the Farm every day, experimenting innovative methods of organic farming, producing olive oil, various vegetables, fruits and saffron. Flavia, Arts Manager, cellist, passionate about music and theater, loves to take care of the development of the planning and communication of the Agriturismo. The mother Sandra, a graduate in Political Science, devotes her time to furnishing and designing the apartments. Andrea the father, concert pianist and former Conservatory teacher, divides his time between love for music and for the countryside. The quality of our guests' stay is our first motivation, offering a friendly welcome and attention to any of their needs to make them feel at home.
Why they chose this property
I inherited this property. The vacation rentals help subsidize our Agricultural firm 'Fattoria Il Leccio' that produces top quality organic olive oil and other natural products.
What makes this property unique
Peaceful country stay overlooking one of the most beautiful valleys in Tuscany and enjoying a refreshing swim in the pool after spending a morning or afternoon immeresed in the beauty of the Renaissance art that is found in Florence or other nearby towns like Siena, Pisa, Lucca and many more. As well as tasting one of the world’s top quality olive oils.
