An organic farm specialising in Chianina cattle, fragrant olive oil and white truffles; utter tranquillity 30 minutes from Florence. Delightful Guido and others have worked hard to provide somewhere stylish, bio-sensitive and beautiful to stay on this 500-hectare nature reserve/farm. Three farmhouses here, all with sweeping views, all on hilltops. Le Trosce – one floor but several levels – is for one big party. Doderi is divided into three apartments, simple and minimalist; Gianluca's bedcovers and 60s retro furniture add style, originality and colour. The apartments in Brentina, deeper in the woods, are a touch more rustic – designers will love their whitewashed simplicity. All have books, music and delicious bathrooms. Outside: chic patios and pools. Down at the farm: fresh produce, vegetable garden, farm shop, orchards, pigs and hens. A local chef comes to cook up Slow Food on your request. Nature trails entice you to explore, so forage in the cool shade of the woods in the truffle zone or stumble upon a ruined 'casa colonica'. Lovely old Montaione, San Miniato and Certaldo Alto have festivals throughout the year.
