What origins has the structure of your house?
Very old! These lands were part of the great estates of the Medici family of Florence and had been organized in the form of farms administered by “Scrittoio delle Regie Possessioni”, that is the state apparatus which looked after the interests of the Princely House. Then in 1600 some of these lands were sold by Frederick II.
Since when has your family managed this facility?
The farmhouse “Il Greppo” has belonged to our family since 1962. It is located in a completely natural setting and it consists of approximately 60 hectares, including vineyards and olive groves, at an altitude of 300 meters above sea level in the hills of Montepulciano overlooking the Valchianina.
You organize courses at your facility, don’t you?
Of course, we do have a wide variety of courses, dedicated to guests staying a few days, but also to guests who stay here for just one day; so here are some of the courses that we organize: Kitchen, Ceramics, Wine tasting and olive oil tasting.
Do you also organize guided tours?
This area offers so many nature trails, as well as art and history itineraries; so yeah, we organize themed tours for every taste. Here are our tours: Art of Wood, Green, Nature, Montepulciano & Spa, oil, Cultural, Scenic views, the Craftsmen, the Renaissance palaces, cycling and many more!
What are the main dishes of your restaurant?
Among the favorites and most requested by our customers, there are those of our tradition, such as: Pappa al pomodoro, bruschetta of Greppo (made only by us), Pici con la nanna, Ciccia alla brace, Cantucci, Rostì, grilled meat and sweets made by Ms. Lia, the owner.
