  Description

  Hello I am Francesca, my mom Rosalba and I we moved from Rome to escape from the busy city in search of a life less stressful and surrounded by nature, the rest of the family remained in Rome but often come to visit us. We have opened, about 15 years ago, a Bed & Breakfast with a pension in the Maremma, the more green and wild part of Tuscany. We live in an old farmhouse on top of a hill with a 360° panorama, with the company of a colony of cats (about 30) and 1 dog.
  We cultivate olives and saffron, we have some fruit trees and a small vegetable garden use to prepare preserves and jams. but mainly we are dedicated to hosting tourists. We love this work and our goal is to make our guests feel at home, in fact, many people who are pass here often return and have now become friends over time
