The Organic Agriturismo Podere Il Leccio sits within the environmental and contemporary art garden Viaggio di Ritorno, a unique place in the world. A few kilometers from the medieval village of Castiglione della Pescaia, the area is rich in cultural and popular traditions. Thrust into a set of rare beauty, and framed by the uncontaminated and magnetic nature and a crystalline sea, it is an ideal place for those who want to spend an unforgettable holiday.
Located just 18 km from the sea of Castiglione della Pescaia, in one of the most beautiful areas of the Maremma, this farm's history follows that of the surrounding land. The farmhouse was renovated thanks to the careful restoration work carried out by bio-architect, Rodolfo Lacquanti, and retains its original charm: vaulted ceilings with exposed brick, stone fireplaces, wood beams and terracotta tiles.
Secular trees, such as majestic ash and holm oak, create large ventilated areas that interrupt the arable fields and olive groves and delineate the large garden around the farm and swimming pool. From here, you can see several medieval villages (Vetulonia, Buriano, Montepescali) which will dominate the hills sides above the plains.
Entering into and pausing in these evocative spaces allows you to experience a new dimension of the spirit, appreciating the joy that the creativity of nature and art can offer. Your stay here includes the option of visiting the artist's garden created by Rodolfo Lacquaniti and entrance into the private exhibit, "The Garbage Revolution" which exhibited at the Stazione Leopold in Florence in 2014.
