The floor plan of Fattoria I Ricci lends itself to small groups, extended families and organized events and meetings since it offers two large rooms – one which is normally used for meals and another which can be used in many ways. There are also many areas throughout the estate which can be transformed into welcoming and convenient areas for meetings, reunions, parties and relax.

The owner maintains a lush garden area with the intention of inviting their guests to relax among the ancient cypress and sequoia trees. The crisp clear waters of the swimming pool are the perfect playground for those hot summer temps and the wrought iron garden furniture are comfortable and tempting.

Once you settle down in the shade of the tall trees, or pool side it will be hard to remember that Firenze is only a short distance away via car or train. In addition to the magnificent scenery, the owners go out of their way to tempt you with local recipes at their bi-weekly dinner. Using traditional recipes and local culinary specialties, they propose an evening meal with all the fixings – including their own special wine and extra virgin olive oil. The same care goes into the buffet style breakfast, with homemade cakes, jams and fresh fruit.

The position lends itself to day trips with a panoramic drive among typical Tuscany vineyards, olive groves, hills and valleys. Especially convenient is the train to Florence - which relieves the stress of parking and driving while on holiday.
