Exploring the immediate area reveals a tapestry of vineyards and olive oil estates, where guests can discover the region’s authentic flavours through local tastings and farm-to-table dining. The surrounding hills are dotted with scenic walking trails that provide breathtaking vistas of the Tuscan plains.
