Agriturismo Il Giardino
About
Agriturismo Il Giardino is a farmstay nestled in the Tuscan hills around Acone, less than an hour from Florence, with open views over the surrounding valleys and vineyards. The estate offers several accommodation options, including the private villa Casalta, suited for groups of up to sixteen people and available for events such as birthdays or family reunions. Stays include access to an outdoor swimming pool — it is advisable to confirm its availability by phone before arrival.
On-site dining is provided, with home-cooked food rooted in Tuscan tradition, drawing largely on produce from the estate itself. The agriturismo raises farm animals that guests can interact with directly on the property. Horseback riding is offered with guided outdoor trails, led by an experienced instructor named Caterina, who caters to both beginners and seasoned riders across country paths. The estate is reached via a winding country road, characteristic of this part of the Chianti Rufina hills.
With 313 Google reviews averaging 4.7 out of 5, guest satisfaction centers primarily on the quality of the food, the natural setting, the warmth of the team, and the rare combination of authentic rural accommodation and comfortable amenities. The estate suits both couples seeking seclusion and groups looking to privatize a space with a pool, shared kitchen, and outdoor activities on site.

Amazing agriturismo in the Tuscan hills. Iconic views + excellent food + swimming pool (call ahead to see if it can be used) + friendly animals = unforgettable experience. Yes , the road to get there is part of the experience ie drive slowly, honk before turning and take it easy. Great place for kids and adults alike. Love it!
We didn’t stay here but we took a horseback ride with Katerina (sp?). It was amazing! She was a phenomenal instructor and the trail ride was the best. My husband and I had ridden before a few times but my kids had not and they loved it. The price is perfect and I highly recommend this for a few hours while in the town. The farm animals are cute too.
Absolutely magnificent place to stay. We were a big group of 16 people and had a great birthday party in the private villa Casalta. Thank you so much Caterina and the rest for your hospitality and easy communication. Felt like being part of the better Italian family here. Grazie!
We stayed 2 weeks with 2 small kids in eaely autumn. Because it was the end of the season there was a nice chill to it. The food was lovely (although we can not get used to the saltless bread, but that's italian). The owners and staff are very friendly and hospitable. We did some nice walks in the neighbourhood and daytrips to Florence, Pistoia,...
The housing is nice and the view is amazing, the food is very tasty aswell.The staff is polite and helpfull. The only downside is the road leading up to the place because of the height and how small the road is in general. But overall its a nice place to stay.
