Taste the unique flavours of Casentino
The Tuscany Food Experience is waiting for you.
vegetable garden
Podere Maria Lena also boasts a large and charming seasonal vegetable garden, which provides fresh vegetables at km 0 throughout the year. We produce a wide range of high quality fruit and vegetables, grown using sustainable and environmentally friendly methods, thus guaranteeing authenticity and freshness.
truffle
The Podere is also distinguished by its commitment to truffle hunting, an activity that requires passion and expertise. Every autumn, we venture into the surrounding woods with the help of our faithful truffle dogs. The search for truffles is not only a tradition, but also an opportunity to enhance the territory and its natural resources.
olive grove
The villa is surrounded by one hectare of land, much of it occupied by a lush olive grove that our father Attilio tends with love and dedication. Every November, we enthusiastically gather to harvest the olives and produce our fine organic oil, following traditions handed down through generations.
saffron
The Podere Maria Lena passionately cultivates Casentino saffron, a high-quality spice that enriches dishes with its unique and unmistakable aroma, contributing to the local culinary tradition and promoting sustainability.
