If you are looking for a Tuscany Farm stay, Erta is wonderful! Keep in mind, a farm stay is NOT a hotel or apartment- 5 star farm stays are not the same as a “5 star hotel”. This is a farm- a wonderful, active farm and Varno is a friendly host. He grows amazing fruits and vegetables that he shows you how to pick and use generously. We stayed in the apartment called Rosa and it has a kitchen and a lovey outdoor patio with a table for dining or relaxing with a glass of wine and enjoying the stunning view. Varno has a a wonderful swimming pool with an amazing view! Erta is centerally located to many hill towns and is a great location for driving to towns such as Casole D’Elsa, Volterra, Pineza, Montepulciano, San Gamiginano, and Siena. Varno has friendly dogs and a cat, chickens for fresh eggs, he makes his own infused olive oils which are delicious and wine. This is a real working farm, with a great view, and a central location. We appreciate his willingness to share his home and hard work -with so many to enjoy a stay in Tuscany!
