A day for the Tuscan flavors
Cinta Senese, olive oil and Pecorino

Any land represents the compromise between Man and Nature. Valdichina, our home, and its surroundings have always been a source of riches for everyone who respects the rhythm of seasons and the natural balances.

Through the centuries, our olive oil has taken to symbolize this bond, together with the wine from our hills and the Pecorino cheese. Come and taste these delicacies: you will be guided by our experts towards the discovery of the real flavors of Tuscany.

And don’t forget the Cinta Senese: a rediscovered treasure that our farmers are preserving.


A secret gastronomic tour

Culture is many things together. With us, cooking is an integral part of history and tradition. Ancient dishes, seasoned with the experience of those who have made our Valdichiana great: on all pici all’aglione, the perfect synthesis of how man, the farmer, has been able to take the best from nature and make it even bigger. And tastier.

However, we cannot fail to mention the spelled pappardelle with wild boar ragout that Fabio prepares by recovering the use of an ancient wholemeal flour supplied by the local Molino Giuliotti. Or the stuffed rabbit made in porchetta, which transforms a minor flavor like that of rabbit into a sublime dish worthy of the finest palates.

Then come and try our hand-made tortelli by Fabio, they are the result of a family tradition that came out as if by magic from the secret book of mothers’ recipes.


Tips for a warm and cold relaxation

Get to Bagni San Filippo, south of Chianciano, or go north towards Rapolano Terme: you will discover two places who turned therapy and thermal treatments into a lifestyle. Immerse yourself into their warm water, and find yourself floating towards both mental and physical health, in a quest for your inner balance.

If, instead, you seek a different experience, but one that is still intense and rich in sensations, go to Santa Fiora, the Town of Water: be regenerated and purified by its cold and mineral springs.
