Possibility of cooking's course at our restaurant, where you must try hand-made Porcini mushrooms filled ravioli and the Pappardelle with wild boar ragout. What make our restaurant so well known are also our mixed grilled and roast-meats, together with the Florentine T-Bone steak cooked in the wood-burning oven, the wild boar and game dishes. Not to forget our famous 'fritto' (mixed fried food) made, as our grandmothers used to do, in the old black frying-pan.

Guest comments
The apartment was very clean and spacious with spectacular views of the Chianti hills and valley. It is a relaxing place to come back to after spending the day touring Tuscany. Danilo Becattini and his family also have a restaurant where you can enjoy good food and good wine. We participated in a cooking class offered by Danilo. We had lots of fun preparing a traditional Tuscan meal which we later enjoyed eating in their restaurant. Danilo and his family were very friendly and hospitable.Wonderful people, great experience, breathtaking views!
"Location très bien située à la frontière du Valdarno et du Chianti à proximité de Florence sur les hauteursce qui garantit air et fraîcheur appréciables en été. Le village est plutôt un hameau authentique (sauf l'église moderne), très animé le week-end en saison. L'appartement est vaste, propre et bien équipé, refait à neuf. La décoration est agréable. La terrasse offre une vue intéressante sur les montagnes avoisinantes et la vallée(Chianti)
