To manage the Bio Farm Il Cerreto since 1998, there are Carlo and Paola when they moved to Tuscany, from Milan, along with their three children.
Their eyes turned towards the small village purchased years earlier by Carlo’s father: a space completely dominated by the forms of nature.

The structure is an old tower of 1700, around which were built in later two groups of farmhouses.
Guests have 7 apartments and 5 double rooms with bathrooms.
Six apartments are located in the main house, next to the tower, while another is located in the building that was once a school house.

The cuisine is natural, 100% organic certified ABICert.

At breakfast is provided a buffet, ranging from fresh fruit to homemade bread, cakes, biscuits, local cheese and much more.
At lunch there are spelled salads enriched with vegetables and legumes.
A 4-course dinner is served at a cost of about 25€.
