Wonderful olive farm with restaurant near Pienza
For years I had been looking for a nice agriturismo in the area around the fine old town of Pienza, but I could never find one that ticked all my boxes. Until I discovered this renovated olive farm built in the sixteenth century. The origin of the castle dates back to circa 600 BC. I was warmly welcomed by the owner, who offered me a cappuccino with homemade biscuits in the property’s welcoming restaurant.. Proudly he showed me his farm. The agriturismo is located in a beautiful setting with breathtaking views of the Val d'Orcia. To get there you have to drive the last kilometres along a dirt road, but once you are there the rewards are great. It is wonderfully quiet and you are surrounded by ancient olive trees.
Pienza is approximately 7 km away, a lovely old town, famous for its pecorino cheese, with shops, bars and restaurants. Montalcino, known for the famous Brunello wine, is just 25 kilometres away and Siena approx 60 kilometres. The town of San Quirico d'Orcia is also worth a visit and is just 15 kilometres away. And last but not least, I can recommend the beautiful old town of Cortona (about 50 km).
Restaurant and pool
The restaurant is literally the centre of the agriturismo, located in the courtyard of the farmhouse. In front of the house is a beautiful garden overlooking the surrounding hills. In fine weather they serve breakfast and dinner here. At the rear of the house is a small pool located amidst olive trees. The agriturismo also has a small spa.
In the restaurant they organize pizza nights, an aperitivo (drinks with snacks) and special dinners (reservation required). In fine weather dinner is served at long tables in the garden, otherwise in the comfortable restaurant. For the preparation of the dishes they use their own produce as much as possible: vegetables from their own garden, their own olive oil, eggs from their own chickens and their own honey and jams. The bread they serve is baked in a large wood-burning oven. The products they cannot make themselves they get from farms in the area. So here you can taste the real authentic Tuscan cuisine!
On request a cooking course can be organized in the restaurant.
The rooms
The agriturismo has 10 rooms and a detached cottage. The rooms are built in the former stables of the farm and its authentic decoration has been kept. Seven rooms are on the ground floor and three rooms on the first floor. The rooms on the first floor share a large living room with a small kitchenette. These three bedrooms and the living room can also be rented together as a spacious apartment for six people. The detached cottage is located about 30 metres from the main building and offers privacy with a private terrace and garden. The cottage has a living room with open kitchen on the ground floor and on the first floor it has a bedroom with a double bed, a small bedroom with two single beds (suitable for children up to 12 years) and a bathroom.
In short
A very welcoming agriturismo with stunning views, only 7 kilometres from Pienza. For lovers of nature, tranquility and good food! Ideal for exploring the southern part of Tuscany.
