A family-run agritourism reality immersed in the green Chianti Hills, just 25 km from Florence.

The farmhouse offers accommodation in authentic Tuscan style, surrounded by 7 hectares of farm on which there are vineyards, olive groves, vegetable gardens and oak woods. 

Guests will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the most authentic rural tradition of Tuscany, characterized by living off the fruits produced with the labor of these rich and ancient lands. A great strength is total self-sufficiency: electricity is produced by photovoltaic panels, heating is provided by a boiler fueled by wood from our forest, and a well meets the needs of external water supply.

Available to guests there is also a characteristic outdoor brick kitchen with a wood-fired pizza oven and a grill/barbecue for free use.
There are also some equipped areas for relaxing, eating and drinking a glass of wine while enjoying nature. They are located in strategic points of the Agriturismo, such as near the property's stream, in the middle of the olive groves and vineyards.
It is possible to request breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Here typical products at km 0 are served, coming directly from the vegetable garden and the farm's livestock, as well as from family farms in the area.

Wine and oil tastings in the cellar
The Agriturismo is happy to organize tastings of its own wine and oil for its guests, directly in the cellar.

Tuscan Cooking Classes
The culinary art is certainly one of the skills for which Tuscany is known throughout the world. Ancient recipes have been handed down for centuries, full of tricks of the trade that only those born here can know. In the Agriturismo it is possible to book a Tuscan cooking lesson with Chiara, an expert chef with twenty years of experience.

Active holiday in nature
Among rolling hills and mountain ranges, the world of cycling and motorcycling finds their ideal home here. Upon reservation, bicycles are provided to guests.

Trekking along the nature trails offers breathtaking views, marked routes rich in history also start from the edge of the Podere woods.

Finally, horseback riding trips and riding courses can be booked at a specialized center in the area.

The Podere is located in the Chianti Hills, between Greve in Chianti and Figline Valdarno, in a convenient and strategic starting point for visiting the most beautiful and historically important cities of Tuscany, first of all Florence.

The identity of the farm is composed of rural tradition and a cultural soul linked to the ancient knowledge of the Florentine arts, which is why it offers the opportunity to book numerous experiences, such as courses and demonstrations of arts and crafts, both at the facility and directly in the workshops. 

The Area

Figline Valdarno is famous for its historic center, its medieval city walls and its ancient origins dating back to 1109. The large and distinctive Piazza Marsilio Ficino owes its name to the humanist philosopher who made a fundamental contribution to the Renaissance. Here is the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria, founded in the mid-1200s, containing works of art by De Magistris and Luca della Robbia. Parts of the ancient walls from 1350, including the ancient watchtowers, can be seen in Figline. The Museo Casa della Civiltà Contadina in Gaville offers a very interesting insight into rural life, thanks to a display of more than 6,000 objects.

Greve in Chianti is the heart of the "Chianti Classico" wine area. In the center of the village is the market square, surrounded by arcades with numerous historic stores, artisan workshops, wine shops and restaurants. In the center is a statue of the great explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano, a native of here, famous for having explored the coast of North America in 1524, reaching first the area where New York City now stands.

At the charming medieval village of Montefioralle the birthplace of Amerigo Vespucci is distinguishable.
