Love declaration to a life in harmony with nature.
If you are looking for a agriturismo in Tuscany with kids that will delight all family members, this is exactly the one for you. Fattoria San Martino lies, secluded, on the outskirts of Montepulciano and is a dreamlike oasis of tranquility. You can feel the peaceful energy from the moment you enter the gate. Fattoria San Martino is just so much more than an overnight stay, it’s a whole experience.
Credit for this goes to the two owners, Karin and Antonio. They have lived on the old farm for almost 20 years since they turned their backs on their hectic lives in Milan and opted for the contrast of Tuscany.
Young and old, singles, couples, families with kids – and preferably a motley crew – feel welcome and at home in their historic house. They come to immerse themselves in the wonderful atmosphere and to get inspired by the lifestyle that Karin and Antonio cultivate.
The love and respectful behaviour with nature, sustainability and a healthy lifestyle are not just a trend at the Fattoria San Martino. Since the very beginning it’s their philosophy on which everything is based on. Which starts with fresh fruits and vegetables for the restaurant coming from the garden and ends with the wall color of the rooms.
Individual rooms full of charm
The rooms are rustic and minimalist stylish. Old pieces of furniture were given a new life through upcycling. Karin is also extremely creative with homemade design elements. Her own home collection “Good Mood” give the rooms a very unique touch. In addition, each room has an insanely beautiful view from the windows. You get it on a silver platter and you can never get enough of it. On one side you can admire Montepulciano and on the other the eternal landscapes of Tuscany.
In the organic agriturismo in Tuscany there are several possibilities to stay comfortably with kids. Either in the room with up to two extra beds (Mark, Miran and Flores) or in the family suite (Casetta) with two separate bedrooms.
A garden, an oasis of peace with a wide view
Throughout the day, the Slowlife Hideaway’s expansive garden with a natural swimming pond is the place everyone in the family looks forward to. Gaze into the distance of the Tuscan countryside, read a book under the olive trees and leave the children to discover nature. It’s not unusual to see Antonio busy in the garden, planting, gardening and harvesting. In fact, that’s his territory, and he’ll be happy to show it to you.
Vegetarian restaurant based on the farm-to-table principle
The vegetables grown in the garden are freshly harvested and placed on the restaurant’s plates. Only vegetarian and vegan dishes are served – of course, everything is prepared by hand in their kitchen. In the morning you can enjoy homemade jams and yogurt, fresh juice, muesli, homemade muffins and bread – all without additives. At night, there is a delicious three-course menu – the kids can decide for themselves. Our highlight was the stuffed zucchini with risotto and a very special companion – garlic flowers. To accompany it, there are great wines from the region. The kids loved the fresh pasta with vegetables. Allergies and the current preferences of kids are also taken into account.
Surroundings for wine lovers and perfect for day trips with kids in Tuscany.
For day trips to the famous cities, such as Florence and Sienna ( both 1 hour away), Fattoria San Martino is the perfect base. Montepulciano, known as one of the best wine regions of Tuscany, is a really pretty town with authentic boutiques and restaurants. Just like the gorgeous surroundings, it’s worth a visit.
