LA CASETTA DEL SOLE
Relaxing in the nature between Umbria and Tuscany
On our organic farm, we grow a variety of crops, from olive trees, to seasonal traditional cereals. Part of our 18 hectares land is also dedicated to reforestation, with a large proportion of woodland, including a walnut plantation.
The “agriturismo” is made of two main buildings: the main house which is divided in a big apartment upstairs (“il Casale”) and a small flat (“il Nido”) and a communal room downstairs; the “Apartments”, a separate unit with two independent accommodations (“Appartamento Verde” and “Appartamento Blu”).
La Casetta del Sole sits on top of a sun-loving hill, overlooking the stunning valleys, the Amiata and Cetona mountains, lake Chiusi, and medieval villages such as, Panicale, Paciano, Città della Pieve, Chiusi, Montepulciano.
You can access the site via a private, well maintained, old country road.

Why prune an olive tree?
An untrimmed olive tree slowly transforms into a rounded bush, with the furthest (distal) branches that vegetate and bear fruit, while inside the branches progressively lose their leaves:
