Activities: Appartamenti in Agriturismo near by Firenze in Toscana, Montaione

Painting and ceramic classes: art, creativity and culture are elements that characterise Tuscany. At the farmhouse we give ample space to courses that teach the rudiments of these two art forms, while creating enjoyment both for adults and for children. The objects made in terracotta are then baked in an oven, and you can take your 'work of art' home with you at the end of your vacation. When frequenting the painting course there are also organised trips to the countryside, the better to paint the splendid scenery surrounding the farmhouse.

Cooking classes: a practical course that teaches regional Tuscan cooking. For those who want to learn the secrets of traditional Tuscan cooking, we organise brief but very helpful cooking classes. The cook, born and bred in Tuscany reveals her precious secrets and the participants, after having prepared the food with their own hands, sit together and enjoy this very satisfying meal. What a nice experience! Barbecue with bonfire: think of a panorama filled with a range of blues and green. Imagine a mouth watering piece of meat sizzling on the grill, a bonfire that illuminates all around, and music ranging from ballads to dance tunes. You can experience all of the above weekly at our Barbecue with bonfire.

Wine fest: in the middle of the estate, in the farmyard close to the restaurant, the big wine festival takes place every week. Our guests are welcomed to taste our wines as well as have a bite of "fettunta" (toasted crusty bread rubbed with oil and garlic), local salami and ham, mature sheep's milk cheese served by Pietro, our farmer.
