Thanks to its position, between Siena and Arezzo watershed, in one of the most suggestive landscapes of Tuscany, the firm is particularly suitable for peaceful and relaxing holidays. There are 4 swimming pools, one for each rebuilt farmhouse, which can be used exclusively by guests. At Palazzuolo Vecchio village there is also a synthetic tennis court.

The centuries-old woods and the beautiful rural landscapes can be reached during on foot excursions of variable length. For the painting lovers, there are numerous beautiful and suggestive scenarios.

Besides, here there are some horses and some games to make children have fun. In the farm centre there is a company store where it is either possible to directly buy firm products or to order the shopping needed (it is delivered during the same day).
At approximately 6 km form the firm centre, included in the farm lands, there is a pond where it is possible to fish carps. For those interested, remember that fishes of the lake can reach enormous sizes. An holiday which is in a strict contact with nature doe not automatically exclude the contact with important cultural events. These latters can be realised through visits to surely interesting places: the most well-known are Siena, Arezzo, Perugia and Florence, while the others, less known but intrigant, will be discovered referring to your guide freely given to our guests (see guide). Another important possibility is attending our courses on wine, wine/oil tasting, traditional Tuscan cuisine and on painting, all organised by the firm.
