FARM HOLIDAYS AND GUIDED TOURS
For those seeking a few days holiday in its beautiful countryside,
Capezzana, with its comfortable and stylish farmhouse accommodation
is the perfect place to stay. The farmhouses are situated on the
northern border of the commune of Carmignano, on one of the beautiful,
dramatic spurs projecting from Mount Albano.
The 'Fattoria' apartment is on the first floor of a wing of the
villa and opens onto the park. It has a large covered terrace
with beautiful views where guests can eat (al fresco dining also
in the park). Guests have use of the swimming pool (18x6 m) and
the tennis court.
Although in the country, Capezzana is only a short distance from
the main Tuscan towns with their Renaissance art treasures: Florence
is only 20kms away, Siena is less than an hour's drive and Lucca
can be reached in half an hour. For those who love the sea, the
Versilia coast with the towns of Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi
can be reached in a little over 40 minutes.
Guided tours can be arranged to visit the olive mill, fermentation
'tinaia', large underground cellars and the 'vinsantaia'. Visitors
can learn about the fascinating and complex process of turning
grapes into wine and vin santo, or olives into extra virgin olive
oil.
Capezzana Estate also holds cooking school courses lasting from
one to five days.
Our chef demonstrates the fundamental concepts of Tuscan cooking
and helps you prepare dishes following age-old culinary traditions.
