The Illuminati family will welcome you on arrival and will accompany you throughout your holiday with hospitality and discretion, showing you the cultural and natural itineraries that can be travelled over, putting every effort into making your 'days in Tuscany' memorable.
History
The origins of our guest farm are lost in time even though we are led to believe that the guesthouse was originally built at the beginning of the 13th Century. In fact, on restoring the old cellars of the Leopold structure, architectural finds, proving the existence of a landing port, were brought to light.
In fact, even though Valdichiana is now one of the most flourishing farming areas in our country, it was marshland until it was reclaimed during the 18th Century.
The Restaurant
Dinner is an event not to be missed. We provide our guests an exclusive restaurant. During the cooler season, dinner is served in the comfort of the old stables restored respecting Tuscan traditions. In summer, dinner is served on the patio where you can enjoy the warm evenings and fantastic views of our orchards and the Tuscan hills beyond. Our guests have the opportunity to experience the delights of typical Tuscan cuisine, accompanied by some excellent Tuscan wines. A perfect end to the day.
The Cellar
For all people who enjoy fine wine, we couldn't miss the chance to restore the old wine cellar where the Bianchini's family used to store their wine during the winter.
The cellar now hosts the best Tuscan wines - Chianti, Brunello and the Super Tuscans. Not forgetting our own superb extra virgin olive oil. We also organise group wine tastings by arrangement
