The agriturismo

Tenuta Cantagallo, belonging to our family since 1970, extends for 500 a. in the heart of Montalbano, green hilly area between Florence and Pisa, and it's still a family run farm; in fact all the  members of the family live and work here and are happy to give the opportunity to special guests to experience the country life in its recently restored farmhouse dating back to the beginning of the 20th century.

The farmhouse lies in a panoramic location on the top of a hill, hence the name “Tenuta Cantagallo”, the place where the rooster sees the dawn and sings to the new day.
From the yard in front of the farmhouse you can enjoy the breathtaking view of the surrounding lush woods interrupted by olive yards and rows of vines recalling paintings of Renaissance.

The farmhouse secluded location is ideal for those who like relax, while the proximity with historical towns like Vinci, hometown of Leonardo, or cities like Florence,  Pisa and Siena is ideal for those who prefer the historical, cultural and artistic aspects of Tuscan life and craft works

In the pergola with barbecue located in the yard opposite the farmhouse you can share a nice evening with the other guests, drinking a good glass of wine, or you can wait for a suggestive sunset, enjoying  the breathtaking landscape over   the ancient castles and towns of Capraia and Montelupo Fiorentino, renowned for the artistic ceramic production since the Middle Ages.

In our family run farm we produce,  by reviving classical recipes, a choice of typical handmade food products (sauces, jam, vegetable under oil) without added preservatives or food colourings.
The guarantee of an elevated gastronomical quality in our homemade food specialties is expressed in our selection of vegetables, cultivated directly in our farmhouse, and in  using  exclusively  our extra-virgin olive oil.
We made  a choice to use  the  pasteurization as preserving method in order to maintain unaltered the organoleptic qualities of our food specialties  in the following two years after the production.

In our Estate Tenuta Cantagallo and in our Estate Tenuta Le Farnete, we organize, on request, for our farmhouse guests and for individuals or bus-tour groups,  tours of the cellars and the vineyards with explanation of the cultivation methods, followed by a guided tasting.
In our farmhouse you can taste two different DOCG wines, extra-virgin olive oil, the food specialties of the farmhouse and a choice  of  typical Tuscan cured meat and cheese.
