Live Tuscany with us: authentic experiences of nature, taste and wellbeing
At Podere Grotta Antica, time slows down, flavours intensify, and every experience is designed to make you feel the soul of Tuscany.
Some of them are created and hosted by us — simple, genuine moments of everyday beauty — while others are born from trusted local partners who share our same philosophy: authentic hospitality and love for the land.
Experiences created by us
Homemade breakfasts
Every morning, the scent of coffee and freshly baked cakes fills the air.
Breakfast at Podere Grotta Antica is not a buffet, but a slow and curated moment: homemade jams, cakes, yogurt and fresh fruit, Tuscan bread and local products chosen with care.
A ritual that tells our story of true hospitality.
On request, we prepare authentic Tuscan dinners reserved exclusively for our guests — a journey through traditional flavours, local wines and seasonal ingredients.
For those who wish for something even more intimate, we can arrange a private exclusive dinner, served under the gazebo or on the terrace, just for you.
