The farm is located less than 3 km from Dicomano and is part of the S. Iacopo complex in Orticaia – dating back to 1100, once the home of Camaldoli monks, the complex includes a church of the same name, with centuries of history: in 1260, Pope Alexander IV named it "Conventus Ecclesia S. Jacobi Ord. Sancti Augustini"; later, in 1513, the church was made part of the Santa Maria degli Angeli Monastery in Florence by Pope Leo X, before becoming, in the XX century, property of the ancestors of Count Alessio Gentili. The agriturismo features the original wooden beams and a typical Tuscan open fireplace; it also offers a fully-equipped kitchen and modern home comforts for those looking for a pleasant, relaxing holiday with beautiful views of the entire Mugello Valley The large garden with views of the valley is the ideal place to relax with a glass of wine from the organic farm itself, which cultivates using traditional methods, producing olives and PGI Mugello chestnuts, seasonal vegetables in its vegetable garden and fruit in its orchard. The farm also rears Limousin cattle, listed in the herd book.

The agriturismo is just 5 minutes from the town of Dicomano and around 40 minutes from Florence, which is accessible by public transport. Criss-crossed by roads and pathways, the estate is the perfect place for long walks in the open air. Don’t miss the “Rufina e Pomino” Chianti Route, the Casentinesi Forest Park where the Arno begins, and the Mugello racetrack in Scarperia.
