October is the season of the new olive oil, and the beautiful fall’s colors. It is time to relax outside the massive tourism and to take part of the family ritual of olive oil, enter into the tuscan mill, smell the oil perfume and taste the fresh oil, directly from the mill. It is just what you dream of Tuscany.

Accommodation
Orgiaglia
Franco and Umberta will welcome us to their ancient farm in the middle of the beautiful Tuscan countryside between Siena, Volterra and San Gimignano. We will certainly be regenerated after our daily explorations by their warm hospitality, authentic cuisine and Chianti wine. Friendship, good laughter and a great company will help us get away from the stress of it all – all in a magical atmosphere.
They will host us in their elegant, recently restored double rooms. You will be mesmerized by the traditionally looking rooms while at the same time everything is eco-friendly (the hot water comes from solar thermal plants).

Grancia di Spedaletto
Many important people such as Carlo D’Angio and the Pope Pio II rested at the Castle La Grancia di Spedaletto during their trip to Rome.
Nowadays, the Carletti family is the owner of the Castle and the farm. They will host us in their elegant double rooms for a few days in this peaceful and quiet place surrounded by 40 hectares of vineyards and olive oil trees.

Torre degli Ammannati
We will have the opportunity to live inside this perfectly restored middle age tower. We will enjoy its comfortable and elegant apartments with original architectural elements of the middle age. Laura and Piero, the owners of the tower, will welcome us to their special house, right in the historical center of Prato. Wood, stones, cotton and modern elements will make you feel at home with a warm and evocative atmosphere.

Activities
Cooking class
Umberta and Franco have a big fireplace where we can cook the “Pici”. We will prepare the homemade Pici pasta and the Pici sauce, following the best Tuscany family tradition. We will dirth our hands with flour, water and dough to produce our handmade Pici.

Olive harvest
I will bring you onto the Tuscan hills, to my grandfather Elio’s field, to experience the olive oil collection ritual with my Tuscany family. We will visit the olive field where you will collect olives and the historic olive mill where my family goes to press them. During the day we will have a pic nic lunch at the field and a delicious dinner at the mill near the fireplace. There, we will try our fresh oil coming out directly from the mill and you will smell the olive oil as you have never smelt it in your life.
