The ONLY place to stay in Tuscany- Cretaiole!

Thanks Rick Steves!

Cretaiole is the only way to experience Tuscany. It is such an authentic experience and the Moricciani family truly makes you feel like a part of their family. Staying at the farmhouse is an experience in itself- from making breakfast inside your Tuscan apartment with fresh vegetables picked from the garden, to evenings with Luciano, the heart and soul of this agriturismo, you will not forget your time at Cretaiole. The family makes you feel at home from the moment you arrive. The Dolce Vita package provides a bountiful supply of meats, cheeses, eggs, olive oil, and more- all made on the family farm. Carlotta and Isabella will help you plan amazing daily activities for your entire stay. We would not have had the same experience in Tuscany without their guidance. They offer tours of their farm, a pasta making class with a Tuscan feast afterwards (you cannot miss this!), and they will plan tours in the surrounding hill towns for you. At night, Luciano will invite you into the veranda to drink the homemade Grappa and dance to Frank Sinatra- an unforgettable experience. We could not have asked for a better trip. We will be back!

I couldn't say it better myself! My 8-year old and I were at Cretaiole this past summer (2016), and couldn't have loved it more! The place is fabulous, but it's the people who really make the experience wonderful. There are still a few places in the world where people are generous, patient and kind, and one of those rare spots is here. It was hard to choose between staying on the property where you feel so completely relaxed and happy, or going on one of the many excursion options to Tuscan hill towns, organic farms and vineyards, and natural hot spring, on truffle hunts or to visit artist studios. I wish I could go there every weekend!
