Hi guys! We are Marzia, Fiore and Alice, the owners of “Podere Le Manzinaie”. We are an Italian family and moved to Tuscany many years ago from the city of Milan. We wanted a different lifestyle and chose to follow our dreams: - having a gorgeous villa in this region and enjoy the famous sweet Tuscan life! -

We decided to buy a property in the area of Montepulciano and we found an abandoned farmhouse belonging to the year 1878. It was in very poor conditions but we immediately fell in love with this ruin and started to restore it with great effort, few money but lots of love and imagination! We have always been very fond of our home and recently it has been included in the list of places of historical interest due to its architecture with arches and vaulted ceilings.

As the years passed by, we decided to create few cosy and comfortable units to rent to all those people who, like us, would like to discover our simple amazing beauties and experience a piece of Italian life. Our goal is to introduce to the world this small part of beautiful Italy rich of culture, good food, wine and hospitality. Since we started this job we realised how much we enjoy spending time with our guests. They arrive from all over the world and we do our best to make them feel like home, just like if they were visiting family, but at the same time we are always very respectful of their privacy.

We put so much love and care into this activity because this is not just a job, it is our life. Every guest becomes a new branch of our family tree and it’s always amazing how such a strong feeling can grow up between our guests and us in such a short time period. These same close relationship usually develop also between our guests arriving from various parts of the world. Here they get to know each other and create friendships sometimes lasting throughout the years. Looks like we’re going to have one of the largest extended families in Tuscany!

We love to take care of our clients and are always available for every necessity they might have: from recommendations on where to go for dinner to suggestions about what to visit in the area, from giving them notions on the villages history to the possibility of tasting our handmade food and wine.

We have a tradition here at “Le Manzinaie”: all guests are invited, at least once during their stay, to our Tuscan family dinner. This is an extraordinary chance to stay all together and have a nice chat while enjoying and tasting the typical Tuscan dishes that we prepare ourselves. It is a great occasion for fun and an excellent way to get to know better terrific people from everywhere in the world! There are no language barriers because Alice can translate in English, French and, of course, Italian, she’s famous for her conversation skills.

We really hope you will decide to visit us and that you will enjoy this familiar atmosphere immersed in the Tuscan countryside.
