Cannavacciuolo Vineyard

★ Michelin€€€Italian Contemporary

Chef Antonino Cannavacciuolo brings his vision of hospitality to a lesser-traveled corner of Tuscany, rich in charm and verdant landscapes. The resort integrates harmoniously with the completely renovated borgo, while the dining room combines contemporary comforts with a cuisine of decisive character: elegant, measured, and always balanced between flavor and finesse. From the open kitchen pass, you can see the meticulous work of the crew, finishing each dish with near-surgical precision. Service is of equal caliber, entrusted to well-trained professionals, many with experience gained abroad. T

Antica Farmacia

€€Tuscan, Seasonal Cuisine

As its name suggests, this restaurant was used as a pharmacy until the late 1970s. In 2010, it was taken over by owner-chef Juri who now runs his own restaurant here, serving Tuscan-inspired cuisine made using local ingredients and recipes which he reinterprets with a light touch. Full of flavour, dishes include highlights such as baked marrow and Tuscan Chianti beef stew.
