Farm-house I Profumi Dell'Orto

Description I Profumi Dell'Orto

Fifteen hectares of organic cultivation in Campagnatico, among the hills of Maremma in Grosseto: vegetable garden, orchard, olive grove, strawberries, a small vineyard, a saffron plantation and bees for biodiversity. Three independent apartments, Alloro, Rosmarino and Melograno, each with equipped kitchen and private outdoor area; Melograno has a terrace, Alloro has a gazebo. Sizes range from 45 to 70 square meters, accommodating two to four guests depending on the house.

The garden is fenced, surrounded by olive trees, vineyard and fruit trees: you can walk around even with children, without rushing. From June to September the pool is the meeting point to cool off or read in the shade. There is also a ping-pong table, and cats and a dog live on the farm. By reservation and weather permitting, evenings can be spent observing stars and planets through a telescope with Andrea, one of the managers.

Wine and food tastings, also by reservation, feature farm products alongside those selected from local agricultural businesses. Breakfast is not included, but the agriturismo sells homemade jams, eggs, fruit, vegetables and sauces. Pets are welcome. Wi-Fi covers the entire property, although in a rural setting like this the speed may be affected. Check-in from 4 PM, check-out by 10 AM.

All around, the countryside can be explored on foot among olive trees and Mediterranean scrubland, or by mountain bike or horseback; the Ombrone river is suitable for kayaking excursions. The address is at Sticcianese 18, in Campagnatico, province of Grosseto.
