This solution is particularly suitable for stays focused mainly on time spent at the property, participating in experiences and activities, and alternating moments of relaxation without frequent travel.

Participation in served dinners can be booked directly at the property.
If a guest expresses interest in advance, we will do our best to organize accordingly, depending on availability and organization.
The takeaway service can be requested in the morning during breakfast for the same evening.
The menu is communicated at breakfast: dishes are prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients, and may vary depending on products from our farm.
For guests who wish to use the takeaway service already on the evening of the arrival day, we kindly ask that this be communicated in advance: we will send the available menu, and it will be possible to select the dishes of interest by 12:00 on the day of arrival.

What Our Guests Are Saying:
“Our two bedroom, two bathroom apartment was comfortable, clean, spacious and the perfect size for a family of 4. It even includes a full kitchen with fridge.
The location is off the beaten path, super quiet and serene, but still close enough to beautiful small towns like Anghiari and Sansepolcro which have shops and restaurants and lots of must see sights.” – Joseph
“We had a smashing week in March staying in the cosy villa style apartments. When we arrived we were met by her, her wonderful mum, the lovely dogs and cats and a chorus of frogs singing in the lake! The experience is entirely non intrusive with no pushiness or overt touristy feel. Saying that I had to run a work meeting from my iPad on the excellent wifi!” – Conrad
“The specific advantage is the attitude of the hosts and the opportunity to talk to them. Besides the place is uniquely beautiful, the owners are incredibly hospitable and kind, speak English and are ready to offer a full tourist service with all the details. This is an experience away from the crowds of people, here you are close to the nature and authenticity of Italy. The food is homemade, the products are grown on the farm and everything is incredibly delicious! I am really impressed!” – Kamelia
