Dreaming of a vacation where you can enjoy a carrot straight from the garden and sip wine overlooking Tuscany, far from city noise? Hold on to your chair, because Vegan Agrivilla I Pini offers much more. Nestled among the hills of San Gimignano, this farmstead once welcomed weary pilgrims who shed their sandals here, now you can drop your worries (and maybe your shoes too, why not?).

The food? 100% vegan and chemical-free. Everything is natural, organic, and handmade—from carrots to cushions. Even the moon helps with gardening here (yes, really!). Enjoy colorful dishes like seasonal vegetable risotto, fresh sourdough bread from a wood-fired oven, homemade jams, and even kombucha. But that’s not all! There's a real green spa here. In summer, lavender and St. John's wort soothe the mind, while in autumn, nettles recharge guests with vitamins. You can even enjoy a tea ceremony with vegan cookies.

No chance of boredom here! Take vineyard tours with wine tastings, stroll through olive groves, or join morning yoga in the garden. And if you crave a change of scenery, nearby towns await. San Gimignano with its medieval towers, Siena with its shell-shaped piazza and horse races, and Volterra for lovers of ancient mysteries and "Twilight" fans.
