The mountains around Pisa and the city of Pisa is only a stone’s throw away – the motorway access for Florence or the seaside lies also only a few minutes away. This beautiful stone mansion is part of a biological farm – high quality olive oil and wine is being produced; these products as also a special pork meat (“Cinta Senese DOP”) can be bought on the spot. The estate was renovated and converted into an oasis of freedom – exclusivity and peace – it is possible here, to recapture the relationship with nature and its rhythm. There are various possibilities for all those who want to connect nature and peace with the sea, excursions to art cities, churches, museums, outdoor sports or wine/food tourism.
