  • Description

    Description

    We are Daria, Wojtek and Antoni, a Polish family who lived in the UK most our our lives. We are restoring an abandoned property and olive grove in Tuscany. The property is located in Chianti hills near Siena in a quiet location with a stunning view. Our aim is to open organic agriturismo one day, focused on improving the soil and irrigation of our land. The house and garden also require a lot of work, as it was abandoned for 24 years.
