The traditional Tuscan Farmhouse accommodation at the Centre offers four bedrooms with private bathroom and there is a also a self-contained apartment in a converted barn, for two people.

Surrounded by meadows and woods with a view of a mediaeval castle, the farm is in the nowadays rare position to offer its guests the silence of nature, the sound of birdsong, the neighing of horses, the river flowing and sometimes Donatella 'encouraging' her pupils!

The buildings have recently been renovated but without altering their original form. Guests can relax in the large living room with an open fireplace, or the club house. Our desire was to create a harmonious setting in 600 square metres, for a limited number of guests who are looking to stay in a friendly but, at the same time, discreet environment.

We are also a certified organic farm and we try to respect the environment in the way we run our farm holiday accommodation. The stables are only 100 metres from the house so guests can immerse themselves with the horses as much as they wish.

Food, drink and entertainment - The position of the farm make it an ideal base for cycling and hiking, and for those who wish to mix cultural tourism with outdoor pursuits. We offer bed and breakfast and the kitchen is at the guests disposal. There are also plenty of local restaurants and trattorias. Castelnuovo Berardenga town council organises cultural and social activities in the area and there are two well-known spa swimming pools ten minutes away.

Pets - We love animals and have a lot, so we are unable to accept dogs or other pets, but if you are looking for such accommodation there are two neighbouring farms which offer two apartments where it is possible to take animals. Contact us for further information.

Location - The farmstead is situated about 10km from Castelnuovo Berardenga, 23km from Siena, 40km from Arezzo, 60km from Florence and 30km from the A1 motorway "Autostrada del Sole". The nearest railway stations are Siena and Montevarchi.

As we said we like our horses to be happy, therefore they work both in the school and in the countryside, but they spend some hours every day in the fields. Once horses join the centre they are never sold and periodically they are re-trained and worked with the lunge by our instructors. We have 15 horses.

We choose our horses not according to their breed but by looking at their attitude to work in the flat and in the countryside. they must have good mental balance so they can change riders easily. Horses are friendly and easy to handle. For this reason in our stables you will find very different breeds: thoroughbred, warm blood, Murgesi, Arab blood, Holsteiner etc.
