Here, it's Italian as hell! Does the first thing that comes to mind involve a family atmosphere, delicious food, and Tuscan landscapes? Nothing could be further from the truth! This estate has been in the same family for nine generations.

It's a place where time moves slower, and Tuscany reveals its true face. Instead of a TV, you have spectacular views of Val d'Orcia and magical sunrises over the Tuscan hills. Plus, beautifully preserved stone houses – one of which once belonged to the S. Maria della Scala hospital, with its 1572 coat of arms still adorning one of the walls.

Here, eco-friendly vegetables are grown, waste is sorted, and life is lived in true slow fashion. Vittorio and Lorenza, hosts with agricultural backgrounds, have ensured that their farm is natural! It’s possible you might find a little bug in your room – just proof that there are no poisons in the soil or air! You can learn to cook like a true Italian, enjoy a concert under the stars, or simply bask in the silence and tranquility. At Il Rigo, you’ll discover an Italy that will enchant you more than the best tiramisu!
