I’ve been here 3 times in 15 years and it’s always a fantastic stay. Beautiful old farmhouse on a picturesque Tuscan hill with vineyards and olive groves. Exactly why you would go to experience Tuscany. The included Breakfast is to die for, the freshest eggs, cheeses, locally sourced meats, and if you don’t watch out, the resident cat will steal your bacon. Huge pool, with an attached lunch veranda means you can stay at the resort all day. Take the tour of the winery given by the remarkable owner, Fay. She even let us go truffle hunting after the tour with her truffle dogs. Definitely take advantage of BBQ night, unlimited Tuscan meats cooked by the butcher. It’s just 12 miles east of Florence and the restaurant at the wind mill is amazing too.

I discovered Fattoria Lavacchio a few years ago while searching the perfect venue for one of my wedding couples. We took the whole Agriturismo for this spring wedding and the couple and their wedding guests returned home with the most amazing memories and with an experience that they would and will cherish for a lifetime. The food is amazing and their own wine is just fantastic. The couple already returned and I will return with another couple for a fall wedding this time. I can't wait until I'll be back in this small paradise. Thank you Faye and your team for spoiling us and our couples each time.
We loved their winery tour and tasting dinner in their restaurant. Faye was an amazing hostess because she was interesting and kept our two young boys entertained with grape juice and tasty bites. At the restaurant, there is a playground so the kids can play a bit during dinner. A true gem in the Tuscan hills and most certainly kid friendly. Reservations are a must.
Very beautiful Tuscan location. The rooms are good, but not all have air conditioning, and we had to choose between sleeping in a hot room, or opening the window and dealing with mosquitoes. The place is very good for families -- there are many groups with kids. The dinner restaurant is very good as well. We booked the "truffle hunting" activity, and it was worth it, both the experience, and the truffle lunch. Note that there are no activities available on Sundays.
This is such a beautiful place. The restaurant was excellent and the staff fantastic. Faye, the owner, went over and above to make us comfortable, even bringing medicine to our friend who was not well. I cant recommend this place enough. If you are visiting this region book yourselves in, take their wine tour, and taste some of the best olive oil in Italy.
Great location in the midst of Tuscan hills, surrounded by vine fields and olive tree farm. The main building, we were told, from 1600s (with modern renovation inside of course) and I couldn't take enough pictures of this classy structure. Food is great at the restaurant, and we had an awesome pizza night on a Saturday where they fire up the wood fire oven to bake a variety of pizzas for the guests. The owners take great care in managing the property and ensuring guests have a good time. They offer a variety of accommodation types (apartments to B&B-style rooms/suites to villas), so be sure to describe your needs when booking.
Frattoria Lavacchio was amazing. The location is spectacular and the restaurant is to die for. The staff is very helpful and the facilities are very clean. Keep in mind that it is best to schedule your taxis in advance as they may take anywhere from 30 mins-1.5 hours to get to the farm. About a 20 minute cab ride will take you down to a train station (30 euros each way) and then a 25 minute train ride if you want to get in to Florence. - Most tours depart from Florence so renting a car is highly recommended. Also, this lodging is VERY family friendly and if you are wanting more of a romantic experience, there may be babies/children screaming and running around at all hours of the day/night.
What a fantastic place! Love the ethos, the attitude and the execution. LOVE IT.
