"A 300-acre Tuscan estate centered on a 12th-century stone farmhouse that embodies a farm-to-table ethos: its organic gardens and farm supply produce, herbs, artisan cheeses and yogurts used in on-site restaurants (the gourmet Saporium and casual Trattoria Sull’Albero) and in the Seed to Skin natural skin-care line at the spa. With 22 rooms and suites—some with private pools—and vaulted wood-beam ceilings, guests are encouraged to wander the gardens, pet alpacas, and even gather eggs for breakfast, enjoying an intimate, self-sustaining country experience." - Laura Itzkowitz, Erica Firpo
