This is the most perfect place I have ever stayed! I led a group of 31 to Italy and we wanted to stay at a farmhouse. I am so glad we chose this one! The rooms are updated with amenities (like USB plugs for phone charging, so comfy beds, and well-functiioning bathrooms) but retain the historical charm with original wooden floors, doors, and exteriors. Breakfast & dinner were amazingly prepared with farm-fresh ingredients. The owner took some of us on a truffle hunt and spent so much time telling us about the wine-making, animals, agriculture, and other businesses that make up their propety. Some of my group opted to skip Florence to just spend a full day at the farmhouse - it was that relaxing! We had a magical moment when 4 horses walked through the gorgeous outdoor dining area on their way to another pasture but stopped for some pets and scratches on the way. It was surreal. The views are stunning, sunsets were breathtaking, staff was so kind and helpful, and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our 3 nights there. We will be back!

This is the second time we have stayed at Fattoria Lavacchio, the first time for 5 nights in 2019. This time we stayed for 6 nights. This place is a slice of heaven on earth. Faye and her staff are magnificent and cater to your every whim. We explored most of the hiking trails on the 270 acre farm and discovered placed we missed on our first trip. A special shout-out to Christian, Alesso and Valentina for taking such excellent care of us! You three are truly a gift.

Wir waren letztes Jahr mit Freunden und Familie in der Tiscaba6jnd ließen uns durch die Fattoria und den Weinberg führen. Zwischendurch gab es Weinverkostung mit feinen Käsen und Schinken, zum Abschluss ein gutes Esssen am Pool . Dieses Stück Erde hat alles , incl. lieber Menschen , traumhafter Aussicht , wundervoller Weine ,.... Ein unvergesslicher Tag!

La visite des vignes le repas et la piscine était top, notre guide était vraiment à la hauteur de nos attentes. Le repas du 12h un vrai délices et la dégustation de vin aussi. Mais, nous avions choisis l’équitation, nous avons été déçu car nous n’avons rien fait. Seule ma nièce a pu monter sur poney pour faire un tour de manège. L’accueil au Arras était juste médiocre ils ont totalement été insignifiant à notre égard. Vue le prix c’est vraiment décevant!! Donc il y a juste cette partie qui m’a déçu.
