Il Paradiso della Natura

Our estate "Il Paradiso della Natura" is situated in the heart of Tuscany , along the Via "Francigena", road that once connected the Middle East with the countries of northern Europe. Far from any noise in the perfect tranquility of 400.000 square meters of natural parkland but just 10 km from pretty San Miniato, a charming medival village, is Il Paradiso della Natura.

Situated close to the main Tuscan cities of Renaissance fame, Florence 35 km, Pisa 35 km, Lucca and Siena: the location is flawless. The parkland of the estate is made up of beautiful woods that are rich in woodland fare: mushrooms, pine kernels, but above all truffles. A large olive grove, and fruit orchard are also available and you can help yourselves to cherries, apricots, almonds and other fruit according to the season.

In any period of the year Tuscany offers its visitors a wide program of events. One of the most significant festivals is the Sagra del Tartufo. Dedicated to the simple woodland Truffle and held in San Miniato in November. Don't forget the famous Palio horse race in Siena, the "Explosion of the Cart" in Florence , the "Gioco del Ponte" in Pisa which all involve traditional theatricals in medival costume, and the famous carnival in Viareggio, which is not to be missed

The apartments -each one with a cooking space- have been recently restored according to the original architectonic structure and the surrounding environment. The buildings where our hosts can live include the tabaccaia (Tobacco factory), with 11 flats, the sodi (Farmhouse), with 6 flats, and the fienile (Barn), with 3 flats

The Tabaccaia, a typical Tuscany building where tobacco leaves were once processed for the manufacture of the famous Tuscan cigar, consists of 11 flats (Cigoli, Donatello, Raffaello, Correggio, within easy reach by people with physical problems, Masaccio, Tintoretto, Cimabue, Giotto e Botticelli) two of them are penthouses (Leonardo and Michelangelo).
The sodi, a farmhouse where farmers once lived in, has got 6 flats (Papavero, Giglio, Rosa, Ciclamino, Margherita and Iris), whereas the fienile, an agricultural structure used a long time ago for storage of agricultural produces, consists of 3 apartments (Tulipano, Girasole and Ginestra).
