A love declaration to life in harmony with nature.
On the outskirts of Montepulciano lies the dreamlike Refugium Fattoria San Martino. Already at the entrance gate you can feel the peaceful energy that surrounds the house thanks to its owners. Karin and Antonio have been living on the old farm as a contrast program for almost 20 years, after turning their backs on their hitherto hectic life in Milan.
Welcome and comfortable here feel young and old, singles, couples, families with children – and preferably colorfully mixed. No wonder you find new friends at the neighboring table of Fattoria San Martino.
The love of nature and the respectful treatment of Mother Earth, sustainability and a healthy lifestyle are not a trend in Fattoria San Martino, on whose train you now quickly jump on, but from the beginning the philosophy on which everything is based. This starts with vegetables and ends with the color on the room walls.
Individual rooms full of charm
The rooms are rustic and minimalistically stylish. Old pieces of furniture were given a new life through upcycling. Karin is also extremely creative with homemade design elements and her own collection “Good Mood” gives the rooms a very own touch. In addition, you will be served the most beautiful view with a view from the window, like on a silver platter. No one can really get full of it!
In the organic agriturismo in Tuscany, there are several ways to stay comfortably with children. Either in the room with up to two extra beds or in the family suite with two separate bedrooms.
A garden, an oasis of peace with a view
Over the day, the extensive garden of the Slowlife-Hideaway with a natural bathing pond is the place that all family members look forward to. From one side you look at Montepulciano, known for good food and wines, on the other hand you look into the eternal expanses of Tuscany. Not infrequently, you will also spot Antonio during the gardening.
Vegetarian restaurant according to the farm-to-table principle
Because vegetables are also grown in the garden, which end up freshly harvested on the plates of the restaurant. Only vegetarian, also vegan dishes are served – of course, everything is prepared by hand in the kitchen. In the morning there are homemade jams and yoghurt, fresh juice, cereal, homemade muffins and bread – all without additives. In the evening you can enjoy a three-course menu – the kids can decide for themselves. Allergies and the current taste of the children are also discussed. There are also great wines from the region. Our highlight were the stuffed zucchini with risotto and a very special companion – garlic flowers.
Environment for wine lovers and perfect for day trips with kids in Tuscany
For day trips to the well-known cities, such as Florence and Sienna (both 1 hour away), Fattoria San Martina is the perfect starting point. After a lively visit to the city, everyone is looking forward to the pleasant peace and quiet in the organic agriturismo in Tuscany with children. Montepulciano is a really pretty town with authentic boutiques and restaurants. Just like the fantastic surroundings, it is worth a visit. In this post there are even more tips for your family holiday in Tuscany.
In the Fattoria San Martino, the atmosphere in every corner – in the house, in the restaurant, in the garden – is relaxed and above all very natural. For some places you are grateful for a lifetime to have found them, the Fattoria San Martino is one of them.
