A country-club feel prevails on this sprawling biodynamic wine and olive-oil estate 7km north of Vetulonia. The facilities are sensational: tennis court, two swimming pools (one indoor, one outdoor), horse-riding lessons, restaurant (five-course dinner adult/child €27/15) and sleek wellness centre. Choose between cheaper (but more atmospheric) rooms in the agriturismo or deluxe air-con rooms in the modern 'country hotel'.
