Visiting the Farmhouse “Il Paese delle Meraviglie”
Today I took my son and a friend to visit the farm “Il paese delle meraviglie”. It is located in “La Serra” a small village set approx. 15 minutes from the Residence S. Maria and it is certainly the closest animal farm to us. It should be noted that to access easily you must arrive […]

You walk along via Alberi and then cross the small bridge and enter via di Casa Masi, leaving the houses behind to immerse yourself in the most luxuriant nature. The walk does not present any particular dangers and is suitable for adults and children […]

What to see..Week end in San Miniato- Saturday or Day 1 of 2
Many people have already visited Tuscany several times, especially attending the most famous circuits such as San Gimignano, Volterra, Florence, Pisa and Siena which are a must for a holiday in Tuscany. This time, however, I would like to take you to a lesser-known medieval town that is definitely worth a visit for its rare […]
Wine tasting at “Cosimo Maria Masini” winery ..Real Biodynamic Passion
The driveway of the “Cosimo Maria Masini” Farm is the classic Tuscan cypress avenue, a splendid welcome postcard. On the sides the Tuscan countryside with its gentle hills and golden yellow wheat fields. As soon as the house dog arrived, he took care to sniff me to understand who I was while the sly cat […]

A walk along “the saffron road” with Capaerrante & Croco e Smilace
Today we took part in a guided tour at the “Croco e Smilace” farm in Canneto, a “ghost” village with very few inhabited houses located on the far side of the Municipality of San Miniato. Once we gathered the group, Camilla”capaerrante”, our guide showed us the outside of the Canneto villa, a very beautiful residence […]
Treasure hunting in the historical center of San Miniato
Treasure hunting in the historical center of San Miniato is a different way to discover the beauties of the city and to enrich the personal knowledge. For people born here it is obviously to know the Dome, Seminario’s square..but.. have you ever counted the ceramic decorations set on the facade of the Church? Have […]
Prehistoric Park of Peccioli..being a kid again!
The prehistoric park of Peccioli is a unique place. It is located in the Municipality of Peccioli, approx. 30 minutes on a panoramic road from our Residence. I visited it when I was in primary school and going back with my 3 year old son was really fun. When he saw the first dinosaur […]
Horse Riding with Emanuele at Il Gelsomino Ranch
I like animals in general but my experience with horses was limited to few occasions. The first time I was a child on holiday and I decided I wanted a white horse (damned ladies!) ..but he was too high for me and I had fear! The second time was in Mexico on a beach and […]
