The
farm extends to the hills between Siena's and Arezzo's
towns facing the Sienese cretes.
The landscape is very charming: secular oak, cerris
and chestnut woods alternate with pinaster pineforest,
the silver colour of the olive plants gives sometimes
the way to the regular rows of vineyard.
In the watercourses, whose bottom can be reached on
foot, by horse or by 4WD cars, sparkling streams flow
(which are often destination of excursions).
The landscape is definitely wild and pleasant for the
alternation of the so different colours.
The farm centre, where offices and cellars are, is in
a place called Capraie, 4 km from Palazzuolo village
which is still in Arezzo's province but 200 m. from
the boundary with Siena.
To reach us, you have two main choices: from Siena you
reach the farm taking the superhighway Siena-Bettolle.
At kilometre 17th leave the superhighway and follow
the marking for Arezzo-Bucine; after 200 m. you find
a crossroad (the "Colonna del Grillo"); turn
right towards Palazzuolo and after approximately 8 km
uphill you reach the farm centre, easily recognisable
for its structures on the right, and its offices and
company store on the left.

For those arriving from the
North, it
is better to leave the highway Autostrada del Sole (A1)
in Firenze Certosa, turn on the right to take the superhighway
Firenze-Siena; once in Siena, go on in Siena bypass
following the markings for Perugia which take to the
aforementioned superhighway Siena-Bettolle (the farm
is approximately 90 km from the Firenze Certosa highway
exit).
Arriving from the South, leave
the highway A1 in Valdichiana and follow the markings
for "Siena sopra" (the farm is approximately
40 Km from Valdichiana highway exit). From Arezzo, the
easiest way to reach the farm is leaving the Autostrada
del Sole (A1) in San Savino's Mount, turning on the
left towards the downtown. Once in town, go on towards
Gargonza-Palazzuolo. Once in Palazzuolo drive approximately
other 4 km to reach the farm centre, easily recognisable
for its structures on the right, and its offices and
company store on the left.
The farm centre is approximately 15 km from the highway
exit.
