The structure within a fantastic, carefully renovated 18th century Farmhouse in the Val D'Orcia is surrounded by a park with centuries-old plants and meadows where it is not unusual to see deer, squirrels and other forest animals.
La Locanda has 4 double rooms with bath that are spacious and well-lit with autonomous heat control, television and internet connection.
The company's home-grown and bred products are the basis of everything that is served to guests in the restaurant: homemade breads and sweets, our own jams and jellies, cold cuts and cheeses, soups made with faro and grains, dishes made with cinta senese pork and ancient Tuscan recipes from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance that the chef has reprocessed.
It is also the headquarters of the L.U.DI.C.A. (Free University for Cultural and Environmental Diversity), an association chaired by EDGARD MORIN that organizes courses, internships and events. It is an educational farm.
