The Experience

Arrive as a guest and, before long, you’ll feel rather like a friend of the family. There’s something wonderfully unforced about this old Maremman farmhouse, restored with care but still full of agricultural soul; its stone arch and the old ring for tethering the bull hint of the many generations who worked this land in the past.

Days fall naturally into a gentle rhythm here – perhaps a walk before breakfast through the vineyards and olive groves, a long lunch, a swim in the pool, then an aperitivo in the shade of the old oak tree. Owner Adriano is here to welcome you, while in the kitchen, generous, seasonal cooking that celebrates the region – from handmade pici and tortelli to wild boar – is served with wines from the estate.

The seven spacious bedrooms each have their own colour and character, with views across the vineyards and countryside, and the whole place feels calm, personal and perfectly unhurried.

We think you'll love

  • The sense of space – with nearly 500 acres of woods and countryside to explore, yet only seven rooms, it feels wonderfully intimate
  • Swimming in the pool, perched on a natural balcony with Tatti on one side and the Perolla Valley on the other
  • All the ways to be active, from walking and biking trails across the estate to guides who'll take you further off the beaten track

Location

The neighbourhood

Head to Ribolla (10 minutes’ drive) for shops, cafés and a pharmacy. Massa Marittima (25 minutes) has a lovely cathedral square and panorama of the Maremma. Seaside Follonica (30 minutes) promises white sandy beaches, boat trips from the marina and excellent seafood. There are winery tours, horse riding (15 minutes) and golf (30 minutes) nearby.

Local points of interest from Adriano Baiguini

  • First stop: Massa Marittima, a medieval town, with the Romanesque cathedral of San Cerbone, the Torre del Candeliere – from which you can enjoy views across the Tuscan countryside all the way to the sea – the Organs Museum and the Mining Museum.
  • Lake Accesa, of volcanic origin, is surrounded by woodland and is suitable for swimming.
  • The beaches: from the nearest ones in Follonica to the wilder ones towards Punta Ale, such as Cala Violina. Some are also dog-friendly.
  • Castiglione della Pescaia Castle, stunning views and excellent seafood restaurants.
  • Various wineries: to start with, our own, then Montemassi, Rocca di Frassinello, Ampeleia (biodynamic wines), Cantina Petra (Suvereto), Le Mortelle – Antinori (Castiglione della Pescaia) and many more.
  • Golf courses: Il Pelagone Golf Club and Punta Ala Golf Club.

Introducing

Adriano Baiguini

Adriano and his late wife Simona bought the neglected farmhouse in 2003 and restored it themselves, opening its doors in 2007. He still lives on the estate, greets every guest personally and often shares meals with them, while Simona's recipes live on in the kitchen she created.
