Casa del Fantino - one of the guest houses available at Tenuta di Spannocchia

As a working organic farm, Spannocchia provides guests with a unique way to visit the Tuscan countryside. Rustic farmhouses are available for weeklong stays, and a bed-and-breakfast in a castello welcomes overnight guests. While classic activities such as hiking and wine tasting are on offer, the farm (which relies on traditional land management practices) also serves as an educational center, with a focus on ecology and culture. After a day spent exploring the olive orchards or perhaps learning about cheese-making from a local artisan, you can return for a meal of organic pasta, house vintages and pure relaxation as the sun sets over the surrounding hills.
