The agriturismo
Historic Val di Pesa estate just 20 minutes from Florence, welcomes guests in rooms and apartments renovated in keeping with Tuscan tradition. Offers two swimming pools, fitness area, restaurant, accompanied by the production and direct sale of wines and extra virgin olive oil.
Charging station for electric vehicles.
The accommodation
One of Val di Pesa best Estates, was built by an ancient Florentine family, "Del Corno", in 12th Century, who dedicated themselves with such diligence and love in enhancing the country environment, that they left us a real "agronomical park".
Since 1911 owners are the Counts Froca Arroni from Arrone, who kept developing with love and determination oil and wine production activities joining high technology in production to a particular attention to tradition and typical marks of the region.
The Estate develops it self for about 210 hectares, 80 of which for vineyards and 10.000 olive trees.
In the centre of the Estate stands the Il Corno Villa, a typical Renaissance building; of the former magnificent castle we have left only the embattled tower, overlooking with elegance all the valleys around.
The farm holiday is dipped in the sweet Florentine hills, dotted with olive trees and vineyards, woods and countryside with 17th Century villas and farm-houses, it offers 10 apartments and 6 room, furnished with elegance and care, regaining ancient pieces of furniture and joining together tradition and simplicity, where it is possible to relax near the two swimming pools completely dived into green , to organize meetings and conventions in dedicated spaces or to have a lunch in the Estate's restaurant.
Here, in a comfortable and warm atmosphere, it is possible to taste the wines of Il Corno, matching with courses of Tuscan and not tradition, prepared with excellent basis, often grown or kept in the Estate itself.
Activities and surrounding
With short trips, you may reach open air museums like Florence, Siena, Pisa and Lucca, go around monuments, palaces, churches, bell-towers, paintings and statues, pushing on to Volterra to discover ancient history, together with Etruscan people.
Who chooses nature there is wild sea of Castiglioncello or fashionable Versilia's strands, Apuane peaks or cool woods in Abetone. Other closer jewels can be seen just spending some minutes driving through the Tuscan hills. Places like San Gimignano, Monteriggioni, Badia a Passignano, Montefioralle, Greve.
