Agritourism farm.
Friendly and hospitable family, my husband an architect, I have a degree in literature. We love nature very much and are dedicated to biodynamic agriculture. We are located in Montegonzi, in the Faggeto locality, in the municipality of Cavriglia in the province of Arezzo, in the upper Valdarno on the Chianti road. Close to Arezzo, Florence and Siena, easily reachable also by public transport. Our property is close to the Chianti Castles on the Wine Route. Our cuisine, typical of the place, is natural and healthy, as we almost exclusively use food of our own production.

Rina and Barista were amazing!! My girlfriend and I had a great experience staying here for two days, they are both so welcoming and friendly. The recommendations for places to visit during the day that they gave us were brilliant. We were able to go and visit and help Barista in the vegetable garden, which was very impressive.
Overall 10/10, couldn’t of asked for a better experience. Also, Rina’s breakfast was MOLTO BUONO! Thank you both very much.

Thank you Sean and Cathy!
You are special guys!July 2019
We spent an unforgettable 5 days with Rina and Batista! The location is perfect for exploring Florence, Sienna and Chianti region. The accommodations in a 19th century farmhouse is the quintessence of Tuscan charm. Unbelievably tasty food that is made from what they grow on their farm. But most of all Rina and Batista provide that warm hospitality that You would expect from a family member. We plan on returning!

Sehr tolle gastgeber. Schon bei der ankunft haben sie vor dem haus auf uns gewartet. Rina hat sich so viel mühe gegeben, sie war immer da! Alle (essens) wünsche wurden uns erfüllt. Sehr leckeres essen (frisch, vieles aus eigener herstellung und aus dem eigenen garten, jeden morgen gab es frisch gebackenes.......)
Das Haus ist sehr sauber und gemütlich. Man fühlt sich einfach wohl. Sogar mit den kindern haben sie uns geholfen. Zwei ganz liebevolle menschen.Thank you rina and baptist!

Wonderful journey at Rina's farm. Great food, great view on Toscane country side and overall Rina and Batista were so kind and warm with us !!!!

Thank you Stephan!!!
We hope we will see you again!!!July 2017
A fantastic Tuscan experience. The house was lovely, surrounded by beautiful farmland with excellent views. Rina made us feel very welcome in her home. The bedroom was huge and the lounge and bathroom to use were immaculate. The breakfast was delicious and Rina even cooked for us in the evening if we wish (for a small additional cost). I would highly recommend staying here if you want a truly Italian experience away from the busy cities. It was a perfect location for exploring if you have a car. Rina made lots of excellent suggestions of places to go from hers too which were brilliant.
