In their spare time the guests can run across the ecologic path in the chestnut wood and reach the medicean wall of Barco, the ancient building stone quarry and the glade where hunting formerly took place.
For its guests the farm house organizes: guide tours to Florence, Pisa, Lucca, turistic outgoings to Versilia, to Tyrrhenian coast, and to Pistoia Mountain.

On the ground floor of the ancient farmhouse there is a didactic classroom provided with projectors and equipment for courses, seminars and exhibitions. In the room it is possible to admire the ancient work tools and the equipments used for the production of oil, wine and the various agricultural products.

The farm's products for sale are extra virgin olive oil, wine (obtained from sangiovese and trebbiano grape vines, pressed using wine presses) and Vinsanto (an excellent dessert wine, that is at its best accompanied by cantuccini biscuits, Tuscan dry almond biscuits).
