About the host
Hosted by Louise
As the owners of an organic olive farm, we combine love of the land with the skill of artisans to produce award-winning organic extra virgin olive oil. Italy has been our home for many years, patiently spent restoring this property. Louise is a qualified tour guide and specializes in Tuscany and Umbria and offers visitors an authentic experience exploring the area, she has been called a "renaissance woman" more than once, because of her passion for Italian history and culture. We look for a profound understanding of the peoples who have inhabited this part of the world for thousands of years. Knowledge of conservation inspire us to keep our property an authentic tuscan home for our guests to enjoy.
Why they chose this property
Our view is particularly beautiful, we see olive groves in every direction that have given inspiration to many resident artists and sculptors. We treasure families that come back to stay with us. Louise is always ready to give her professional advice on any sight seeing you may want to do and can help you plan where you would like to go and what you would like to see. She can also arrange guided tours, visits to vineyards and any other special requests. Our property has been in the family since the 70's and was bought as a family holiday home before deciding to it open up to guests. We have lovingly restored the house over the years with thought and care. It used to be a water mill that was used throughout the year to grind wheat for flour and the olives for oil, using a small horizontal water wheel under the house where part of the stream used to flow. We have tried to keep all the old authentic features and blend them into the modern. Our sitting room still has its amazing, original open fireplace and stone kitchen sink! It is actually a heritage building. A perfect balance between being close to shops and feeling hidden away amongst the olive groves. There is a sense of feeling at home in a comfortable and cosy atmosphere, where you can really enjoy your stay and live your Tuscan dream.
What makes this property unique
Unique benefits of our property: Our home is a working organic farm that considers the preservation of the environment a priority. Planting trees, mulching and a constant water conservation policy are among various eco-friendly projects underway. We handpick our olives in October and November and always try to live harmoniously with Nature. We want to contribute to a green and sustainable environment for present and future generations. With our very open and friendly attitude we hope to make you feel totally welcome and particularly cherish returning guests.
