Agriturismo Ristorante Calagrana

Agriturismo Calagrana is set 350m above sea level upon the hillside of the Niccone Valley, Italy, 6 km from the Tuscan boarder.

Calagrana is a family-run farm with the accommodation and restaurant run by the owners.

The property is made up of two stone farm structures, the main building was once a farmhouse with cattle lowing underneath, which was a standard practice to keep the family warm with the heat from the beasts.

This is now the accommodation for the guests, made up of five large double bedrooms and three mini apartments, each with their own entrance.

The second building is now an intimate restaurant with two verandas for summer dinning and views over the valley and swimming pool- this was once the store for the tractors and other farm machinery- now both properties have been restored to the highest standard with original stone exposure.

The 400sq meter vegetable garden and 30-tree strong fruit orchard
are all organically produced, as are the livestock.

Calagrana is surrounded by five hectors of land including woods and the green valley, which goes on for miles upon either side of the estate.

Guided walking tours, horse back riding in nearby stables, and vineyard tours are just some of the activities available.

3 night stay in family room (2 children under 10) £350 half board (excl. flights), 15-24 Oct. Contact: +39 075 941 0865; calagrana.com.
