オリーブの木々と広い芝生の間には、 '700アパートメント'の農家Riccio "

I have managed the family farm since 2007, which I have expanded with the "Al Palazzaccio" agrotourism from 2009. I live in the same framework where the agrotourism is located with my husband since 1996. Previously I have lived at Pisa, but I have always come to the farm that produces extra virgin olive oil, following my passion for a nature.

The Ruschi family has lived between Pisa and Calci from the early 1700's. The Calci farm has always had olive oil products and today, for the first time, it is managed by a woman, Cristiana Ruschi, that from 2006 has opened the "Al Palazzaccio" agrotourism that is also home to the farm the owner's accommodation. In the farm, we have various animals that pasture in the olive grove: donkeys, sheep, chickens and 3 nice cats!

The farmstead where the agrotourism is located is called Palazzaccio, because the story tells that a bishop in the 1700 wanted this to be his summer residence expanding a pre-existing part of the 1400. The construction was not finished (nobody knows why) and afterwards, the construction was intended for colonial use, that is why the name originates from Palazzo (palace)! Located on the slopes of the valley that surrounds the town, the main characteristic, which is not prevalent in the other local villas, is that it is surrounded by large lawns and a beautiful panoramic and sunny location, without being too far from the village (10 minutes on foot). Outside, besides the swimming pool, there is a garden area with a gazebo, barbecue and a Ping-Pong table reserved for the guests. Since it is home to the farm as well, there are various animals: sheep, donkeys, chickens and cats (these last ones often cuddled by our guests). The fact that we live in the same framework has allowed, that through the years our familiar welcoming has been appreciated and we have many friends/guests that come back to spend their holidays here. The beautiful hills of the Pisan mountains, the sea is at only 30 minutes by car, the motorway, allows you to spend a complete holiday by visiting the various cities of art, go to the beautiful beaches of the natural park of Migliarino, as well as enjoying the complete relaxation of our farm.
