Our Huacaya Alpaca breeding has 10 animals and is the only one with these characteristics in the province of Pisa: staying in the Country House will allow you to collaborate in the daily life of the farm, feeding the animals and participating in the seasonal work of the 'breeding.
All our Alpacas are shy, docile, silent but also very intelligent: a day spent with them will remind you how much peace there can be in silence.
At our facility there is also a store where you can buy scarves and Plaid in Alpaca yarn: each product is unique in its type, handmade and handcrafted with wool coming from our breeding. If interested, we can also sell alpaca wool already in balls of gray, dark brown and light brown.

The Osteria was born with the desire to combine typical dishes of the Tuscan tradition with the refined lightness of modern cuisine. The warmly familiar environment, the landscape and the nature surrounding the Osteria will make you discover the taste of "eating well".
Our recipes bring back to the table simple but tasty dishes, such as roasts cooked in a wood oven, homemade pasta, bread and big fried dishes. The authenticity of the flavors and the genuineness of the food are guaranteed by the direct supplies to the producers of the area: food at zero km, in season and vegetables coming from our garden.
One of the peculiarities of our Osteria is to offer, in addition to the à la carte menu, different types of menus, for example: the tasting menu, the vegetarian menu or the much requested tourist menu.

    Prima di tutto le foto della struttura non sono assolutamente corrispondenti alla realtà: si immagina un casolare antico ristrutturato come tanti ce ne sono in questa regione, si arriva a una catapecchia malandata e maltenuta nel bosco. Gli spazi esterni sono sporchi e disordinati. La proprietaria non si é dimostrata per nulla accogliente né cortese: per fare solo un esempio, non ci ha accompagnato alla camera per mostrarcela. Chiesto l'orario della colazione (compresa nel prezzo della nostra camera) ci siamo sentiti rispondere in malo modo che per via delle restrizioni anti covid-19 non c'è più alcuna colazione, se non qualche prodotto industriale confezionato che si può ritirare in reception e mangiare nella propria stanza.
    Per quanto riguarda la struttura, è trascurata in ogni suo aspetto. Noi pur avendo chiesto una camera abbiamo avuto un mini appartamento con arredamento vecchio (e sporco), tende di recupero e rotte.
    Nel complesso non siamo rimasti per nulla soddisfatti di questa struttura, anche considerando il prezzo medio alto per servizi inesistenti. Non torneremo!
