The Farm

The Farm "Il Falcone" is situated outside of Suvereto in Maremma Tuscany, in the Southern part of the Province of Livorno, right on the border to the Province of Grosseto, only a few minutes from the Etruscan coast away.
The antique farmhouse is situated in a marvellous context that offers an all-round view over the whole area. Right in front of the farm, one can admire the medieval village of Suvereto and towards west the striking panorama over the Etruscan riviera, facing the islands of the Tuscan Archipel.

From the farm it is possible to reach within 20 minutes the beach, the seaside resort Follonica, the Gulf of Baratti and Populonia with the famous Etruscan necropolis, as well as Piombino, from where set out the ferryboats to the Island of Elba. In approximately one hour it is possible to reach Livorno, Pisa, Volterra and San Gimignano. Within one hour and a half it is possible to reach Florence and in approximately two hours Rome. Florence distances about one hour and a half by car.

The "Falcone"-Farm takes its name from the homonymous hill on which it is located. Already in 1821 it was present in the cadastral maps of the grand duchy in Tuscany, also if the origins are definitely more remote. "Il Falcone" is one of the oldest farm in the municipality of Suvereto. From 1911 on, it has been the property of the Petri family. Today the farm is managed by the two sisters Paola and Rosa together with their husbands Vittorio and Paolo. The farm land expands over 100 ha, of which 10 are planted with vineyards and all the surrounding farmland is scattered with more than 4,000 century-old olive trees.

The olive groves and the vineyards are protected by the wind coming from north by a mountain range that creates a microclimate, ideal for the growing of vine and olive tree. 
The owners can look back on many years of experience of the whole family that always has dedicated life to the agriculture and tries to combine antique traditions with modern techniques in order to obtain good quality products. 
Therefore, the use of plant protection products is reduced to a minimum. 

The perfect microclimatic conditions and the great commitment in the farm, allow the creation of excellent wines originating from the Val di Cornia (2 red wines, 1 red wine aged in wood barrels and 2 white wines), grappa and olive oil of established quality. It is possible to purchase the products directly on the farm and to make wine tastings, guided by Paolo, a sommelier and to make olive oil tastings, guided by Paola, member of the "panel test"-commission of the Province of Livorno. 
It is also possibile to organize group tastings, which with nice wheather take place outside, in the garden or inside in the wine- and olive-oil tasting hall. In 2002, the farm has completely restored two farmhouses situated on the property with 8 holiday apartments of which 4 two-roomed apartments and 4 three-roomed apartments, furnished in the typical Tuscan country style. The swimming pool is located in a panoramic position between the age old olive trees and is opened from May 1st until October 28th.
