  Hébergement

  You’ll stay in a renovated caravan 100 meters from the main house, featuring a double bed, sofa, kitchenette, bathroom with hot-water shower and a private outdoor area.
  
  We provide seasonal basic groceries from our farm and local producers for a full board (e.g., pasta, rice, eggs, cheese, fresh veggies). In town you can find supermarkets and grocery stores for any special needs or desires.
  
  If no guests are booked, you are more than welcome to enjoy a night in one of our safari tents all for yourself!
  
  Important:
  * Our house is 5 km from Lajatico town, reachable via a dirt road. No public transport is available, so having a car is highly recommended for exploring Tuscany.
  * Summers can be hot, but our hilltop location (400 meters above sea level) ensures cool breezes in the mornings and evenings.
