  • Family Programme in Tuscany
    March 2026 Leonie aged 41
    My recent trip to Tuscany was nothing short of exceptional – a true five-star experience in every sense. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the beauty of the estate.

    December 2025 Camilla aged 27
    Beautiful place to stay. Would definitly be a place to bring your family in addition to the time at the stable! Great food and accommodation. Rode a few different horses during the stay. My first impression was some very dirty horses, with more dirt on their body than what you'd normally be able to get of with a brush... Read all
