The Pratale estate receives its guests in two old manors, surrounded by the beautiful tuscan country-side, with vineyards sloping gently down to wild shrubs, pines and cypress-trees.
The building has been completely restored and it is now divided into several independent apartments, all of which have a separate entrance and an open place in order to enjoy the quietness and the view of the landscape.

Apartments are provided with central heating for wintertime and with all the facilities of modern comfort, yet maintaining by furnishing and style the spirit of typical tuscan country-houses. At the Fattoria guests can find a bowling lane, 2 swimming pools both for children and adults, a Laundromat, a pay-phone, mountain bikes and TV-sets.
