Beyond the gates of Casa Cornacchi

The estate sits in the heart of Tuscany’s Val d’Ambra, a world of misty mornings and amber sunsets encouraging visitors and out-of-towners to sit and pause taking in the magic of this natural valley. The beauty of Tuscany continues to unfold with the numerous postcard perfect villages like Montebenichi (only 1.5 km away), where cobbled streets and ancient charm keep things still and simple. 

A short drive leads to Siena and Arezzo, where Gothic cathedrals, renaissance piazzas, and bustling markets selling local crafts create a feast for the senses. Food lovers can savour truffle hunts, vineyard tours, and cooking classes at nearby agriturismos, learning tips and secrets of the Tuscan cuisine. The backdrop of the estate is also a place of naturalistic entertainment with authentic  fragrances of wild herbs, sounds of myriad cicadas, and the laughter of friends late at the dinner table.
