Completely surrounded by an uncontaminated nature, it overlooks a wonderful view of the medieval village and ancient chestnut groves.

The simple period furniture and the wonderful views contribute to make the atmosphere highly familiar and relaxing.
In the large and cosy tavern you can enjoy pleasant moments in front of a crackling fireplace reading a good book, listening to some music or tasting a good glass of wine or have a snack with some typical local products.
"IL VIGNO" offers you the possibility to have also a relaxing time in the open air, on the meadows, on its panoramic terraces or in the pine-wood along the Camaiano torrent, which bounds the property, or in the spaces furnished with tables, deck chairs and barbecue.
