アグリコラネチ:プライベートレイクとハウスキーピングを備えたトスカーナ地方の贅沢

どこから世界を脱出し、ペースを落とすことができますか? グローバルテクノロジーでさえ触れられていない農村文化の古い慣習を維持している手つかずの土地をどこで見つけることができますか? 答えは非常に簡単です。アグリコラネチ、4つの独立したスイート(それぞれに専用の入り口、寝室、バスルーム、リビングルーム)と共通のダイニングルームとキッチンで構成された大邸宅。

Agricola Neciは642エーカーの敷地内にあり、トスカーナの田園地帯に囲まれた秘密の世界で親密さ、プライバシー、リラクゼーションを楽しむことができます。 本を読んだり、飲食をしたり、642エーカーの敷地を楽しんだりしてください。 敷地内にトリュフのベッドとオリーブの木立があり、トリュフ狩りやオリーブの収穫に専念して、独自のオリーブオイル-オリオネーチェを作ることができます。

アスレチックアクティビティに興味がある場合は、アグリコラのプライベート湖でのカヤック、丘を登ったり下りたり、世界で最も美しい風景の1つでサイクリングをするなど、多くのことができます。 ビンテージバイクのファンなら、有名なエロイカに参加することもできます。ゴージャスな景色に囲まれ、食欲をそそる食とワインのセレクションに支えられた、ビンテージバイクを使用した古代の道路でのレースです。

そして雨が降ったら? あなたはまだ多くの活動から選択することができます。有名なモンテ・オリヴェート・マッジョーレの大修道院を訪れ、その聖ルネサンスの生活に関するルネッサンス絵画を見ることができます。 ベネディクト、またはシエナの美術館と美術館を巡るツアー。 または、貴重なブルネッロワインの生産で世界的に有名な、息をtakingむようなヴァルドオルチャの美しい村、モンタルチーノをお試しください。

やりたいことが何であれ、確実なことは1つです。アグリコラネチでの滞在中、退屈することはありません。

We were in the area for business and have been lucky enough to be hosted at Agricola Neci. The rustic charme of the property perfectly complements the breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding countryside. The area is rich in highly rated wineries and whether you're seeking a romantic getaway, a culinary adventure, or simply a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, Agricola Neci delivers an unforgettable experience. We will be back!

We were lucky enough to spend a few days in this piece of heaven: everything has been stunning!We've really enjoyed the truffle hunting experience: the pasta and eggs made with truffle were so delicious. Unfortunately given the season, the pool was not open yet, but it looked really amazing, so we definitely have to come back during the summer season!

My stay at Agricola Neci was a true idyllic retreat; the villa and the surrounding property is beautiful, peaceful, charming, serene…and fun! I felt like I was in my own private oasis, yet near enough to the Tuscany hamlet of Buonconvento to tap into locale cuisine, culture, and neighborhood comradery. The sweeping views of the Tuscan countryside were breathtaking, morning, noon, and night. At sunrise, I was welcomed with billowing fog along the rolling hills and colorful clouds…and at sunset, Mother Nature helped to celebrate yet another day in paradise with a kaleidoscope of colors.Agricola Neci is a such a hidden gem!

What an incredible place! Patrick and his team made our stay a luxurious and memorable experience! The estate, especially the infinity-edge swimming pool are surrounded by stunning views of quintessential Tuscan courtyside, which made for some pretty epic sunsets! We also loved the lake and th golf buggies! The rooms all have private access so you have the privacy of a hotel, but with the common areas and kitchen, which were very well equipped. The daily housekeeping and cleaning of the common areas were a big plus! Patrick's communication was great and he was quick to respond and accomodating. The property is located between Siena and Montalcino/Montepulciano and very accessible for day trips/dinners out, not that you'll want to leave! We were utterly spoiled by Patrick and his team and would love to go back! Would highly recommend, 10/10!

Thankyou Patrick for a truly wonderful 5* experience. Ava everyday made our stay feel very special as our daily host. Our stay lived up to and beyond all expectations and would highly recommend the activities with Truffle Hunting, Pizza making and our Pasta course, and not forgetting the first night with our private chef. Thank you again Patrick for the links to all locations nearby and would like you to add another for your recommendations, namely 5 mins away, I actually cycled, to the Monastery Monte Oliveto Maggiore which aside from the monastery has it fully licensed bar and restaurant which has the nearest Tabac for us smokers btw, great food, service and wine. Thoroughly enjoyed everyday and will be back for your next phase.

AGRICOLA NECI is a luxury experience all the way. From the owner Patrick to the staff (Eva, Santiago and Gregorio) everyone was there to make sure our experience was memorable. The views of the surrounding valleys are incredible. The house itself is out of a movie. I highly recommend an extended vacation here.

This is an amazing property. We had two families come together to enjoy this delightful Tuscan estate. The property is well designed to soak up Tuscany’s nature and landscape. The staff are kind and generous. They were always willing to help with anything at any time. They helped keep the property clean and well-taken care of, working early in the morning and late at night. Numerous restaurants are within 10 m car ride. We visited Sienna and the local monastery for the evening vespers. Lovely experience. Our family gives this property an 10 out of 10!

We spent two weeks at Agricola Neci. Patrick met us when we arrived and was extremely gracious. He was like a concierge at a luxury hotel. Gregorio and Oliva are the onsite employees whom we had daily contact. They were fabulous. The daily housekeeping and the kitchen cleaning is definitely a big plus. We have plans to return again next year

Agricola Neci was a beautiful location for our family trip to Tuscany. The suites allowed for privacy, without the confines of a hotel room. The common area, kitchen, and outdoor dining areas were perfect for family breakfasts and dinners. The kitchen was well equipped. The pool was divine—a big asset for the hot summer days when we wanted to relax amid the Tuscan scenery. The views were spectacular. We always wanted to be back on the property for the sunsets. The location of the property was perfect for our many day trips to Sienna, Montalcino, and Montepulciano. We thoroughly enjoyed our wine tour and tasting at Ciacci Piccolomini, which Patrick coordinated for us. The cleaning and property staff were friendly and made everything seamless. Last, but certainly not least, our host Patrick made sure we were welcomed to and familiar with the property on the day of our arrival, and he checked in to make sure everything was going smoothly. We loved seeing Bruno and Max—such friendly dogs.

This is a beautiful property in an excellent location and with a very helpful and gracious host. The recent addition of a 30M swimming pool makes this a very unique and special property. The location offers privacy and freedom but with easy access (by car) to some of the most beautiful places in Tuscany,

A breathtaking property surrounded by hundreds of acres olive trees overlooking Tuscan hills. My family (4 adults and 1 infant) had an exceptional stay at Agricola Neci. We were pleasantly surprised by the service (Olivia and Gregorio who cleaned and took care of the property during our stay), amenities (AC in every room!!) and beautiful new pool. Really seemed too good to be true. We would love to stay there again, tour the beautiful property by golf cart, swim in kayaks on a private lake and soak up the sun by the pool. The best!

Patrick was amazing!! After leaving the Amalfi coast, jumping on the high-speed train to Florence, taking a 3-hour walking tour around Florence, then driving to the property, we were exhausted when we arrived. Patrick and his staff met us with a smile, great appetizers, and a wealth of information about the property and all the amenities offered. He drove us around the property on golf carts to show us the pool, lake, hiking trails, and the beautiful landscape of his picturesque estate. He also helped set up a BBQ night with the local Butcher, a fine dining night with a masterful Chef, and a delightful cooking class with a lovely couple that was so fun and delicious. Well located in Tuscany within reasonable driving distance to so many great destinations - Florence, Siena, Montepulciano, Pienza - and so on. Short drive to the local village for groceries, etc. Highly recommend! PS the property dogs Bruno and Max were also great company

Our second time here, and we love everything about this Patrick, the owner, is a fabulous host, caring, expansive and with a fabulous personality reflected in the quality and love that he placed into the smallest details of this magnificent property. The staff spoils you, the views are unparalleled to anything else I have seen in this part of Tuscany and Patricks recommendations are all first class. Impossible to describe in words what a wonderful vacation staying at Neci provides.

Although I could have imagined this place was beautiful, I never imagined it was so beautiful. The rooms, the views, it was like being in a postcard. Plus I had two extraordinary experiences that I will never forget. Truffle hunting (Agricola Neci is rich in truffle grounds) and the olives harvest with relative oil tasting. I can't wait to be back!

I was at the Agricola Neci during a business trip to Montalcino. I didn't think it was possible to find such a breathtaking landscape! I can't wait to go back to enjoy the pool they are building.

Wir waren mittlerweile mehrfach in der Toskana und hatten immer schöne Häuser gemietet, aber dieses Erlebnis werden wir sicherlich nicht vergessen. Die ganze Anlage ist noch schöner, als es online ausgesehen hat, Patrick - als Gastgeber - hat sich viel Zeit für uns genommen und zusätzlich BBQ und Kochkurs für uns organisiert. Sein Team vor-Ort war immer zur Stelle, wenn wir es gebraucht hätten. Absolut spitze alles zusammen. Die Umgebung ist ein Traum und die Fahrt mit dem Golfcart über das Gelände und zum See machen einfach Spaß. Wir neigen nicht zu Superlativen, aber das Gesamtpaket hier hat es absolut verdient.

10/10

We were extremely impressed with the property - it exceeded our expectations at every turn. The location was great for hitting the best wine regions, and very drivable to Arezzo, Siena and Florence. Patrick was amazing - meeting us at the property and personally touring us through the vast acreage upon our arrival. He ensured that we were comfortable with the suites (all different layouts and WAY nicer than shown in the pictures), and the amenities of the property (bikes, golf carts, and canoes and kayaks on the property lake). We all greatly appreciated the personal attention he provides for his guests. We were also very impressed with Gregoria and Margarita and their support for us throughout the week. They exercised perfect discretion in their daily routines (cleaning, etc.), but were immediately available whenever we needed anything. And of course, Bruno - the four-legged best friend to our entire group. Our only regret was that we only had a week to enjoy this villa and land - we will definitely be coming back and strongly recommend this property.

We stayed at Neci for two weeks with family and friends to celebrate my husband's birthday. We had no idea the property would be so stunning. When we arrived we drove through the beautiful iron gates to the generous villa overlooking Tuscan hills. It was even better than we had imagined! We were welcomed by Patrick, the owner, and Bruno the friendly dog, who took us on a tour of the substantial property on golf carts. The villa is extremely comfortable and each suite is very large and separate. We have very high standards and the accommodations were well appointed and luxurious. There is a separate building with a common kitchen and dining room, which worked out nicely for group dinners and parties. Patrick was available via phone to help us with any questions we had and he arranged for some chefs to come to the villa to cook for us. The property is truly a destination in itself and we spent many days at the villa swimming in the lake, kayaking, walking, and riding bikes and golf carts. The location is really ideal if you want to tour the many towns in Tuscany, go wine tasting, etc, but have privacy and the peacefulness of the Tuscan countryside. The whole experience was like a dream and we would love to stay again next time we are in Tuscany!

10/10

The location is stunning, the property and surrounding estate is superb, the welcome from Patrick along with his hospitality all made for an unforgettable holiday in a truly stunning environment. Having arrived later than planned, Patrick took care of changing the restaurant reservation, which he had made initially for us, made us very welcome and arranged a time the next day for a tour of the grounds, a trip to the nearest local supermarket and artisan shops. This was invaluable information and ensured we had everything covered for the stay. We hired in local chefs for one evening (speak to Patrick he will arrange), and it is really well worth doing - not only are they the most lovely old couple (and spoke barely no English) the food was outstanding and served with a true sense of joy. Our whole family - spanning 3 generations had a wonderful evening with great wine and food...... just perfect. Not forgetting Bruno, the most laid back friendly hound you could wish to meet, which as a family of dog lovers put the icing on the cake. Whenever we return to Tuscany, there will be only one place I would consider staying ..... Agricola Neci - Salut Patrick. The Anderson Clan

We came again, this time in summer. It is a place that combines wonderful landscape, designed and modern rooms, excellent service and unbelievable hospitality. I would recommend it, but I am afraid that it will always be booked and I cannot visit it again. So better go to the next proposal... it is just half as good as this one.

We recently spent a week at this wonderful property in Tuscany. First, we need to mention how wonderful a host Patrick Zinelli is. He came all the way from Rome to meet us at the property, but that was not all. He gave us a thorough tour of the property and grounds, invited us for a wonderful appetizer/dinner with local (and delicious) products, and the next day took us personally to his favorite places in Buonconvento (the nearest town), introducing us to the wonderful butchers, fruit vendors, and bakers in town. The house is beautifully appointed, very clean and, for our first day, had even a great spread for breakfast laid out for us in the common room. Each suite has separate entrances, and the views from the rooms were truly unforgettable. The grounds are extensive; we spent a day exploring it, canoeing in the lake and driving the golf carts up and down the beautiful hills, with Bruno (the property's dog, a sweet and active animal that will greet you every morning and will go everywhere you go, trotting along happily!). Gregorio and his wife, the groundskeepers, are simply amazing. Every day the would clean after us, lay the breakfast table, bring us fresh eggs from their hens, fix the beds - you name it! We called them the magical elves because all of this happened with us hardly ever seeing them. But, when we did see them, it was a pleasure; they are the nicest people ever, and it also was a pleasure to meet their beautiful daughter Anna. Gregorio even helped set up the BBQ one evening we were planning on cooking bistecca (the amazing meat from the region), brought us fresh zucchini and green beans from his garden, and the next morning it was all magically cleaned and ready to use again if we wanted! The house is conveniently located, with many area attractions between 30 minutes and one hour away. You will need a car to stay here, but it will be very hard to extricate yourself from this place. I would have enjoyed staying more in the house, walking the grounds with Bruno and simply enjoying how time seems to slow down there... We truly recommend this place and will be back very soon. Thanks again Patrick for everything; we will see you again!

Our family had a wonderful stay at Agricola Neci. Reading the positive reviews and seeing the photos we had very high expectations, but our experience was even better than we hoped it would be. The location: great for seeing Tuscany. We took easy day trips to Florence, Siena, Montalcino, Pienza, and Montepulciano. None of them more than 2 hours away. Even closer are Chiusure, the Abbazia of Monte Olivieto and Buonconvento -- where you can get groceries and delicious treats. The property: Wow. Just wow. The setting is glorious. You really feel like you have your own private slice of Tuscany. Sunsets and sunrises are amazing to behold. The villa is beautiful and has every modern convenience. It consists of a large house made with re-claimed Tuscan bricks, with separate "apartments", each with a kitchen and fireplace. But a short distance (30 feet?) from the villa is another common house, with a gourmet kitchen, and dining table, along with a barbecue grill, and patio with a table and umbrella and chaise lounges, and is perfect for gathering everyone together for meals or drinks. Fabulous. There is a private pond that is swimmable, and two electric Club Cars (think golf carts that seat 4) for touring the hundreds of acres. Bikes are also provided. Best of all -- Bruno, a large and friendly dog who lives with Gregorio (one of the caretakers) visited us daily. He is wonderful and we all missed him when we left. The Host: Patrick and his staff are really great. They made feel right at home and provided touches of hospitality, such as bringing us farm-fresh eggs, that were delicious. Patrick even helped us to find a pair of local former restaurant owners who came on site and cooked for us dinner on our last night. Delicious and truly memorable! Our only regret? That we couldn't stay for another week at Agricola Neci!

Patrick is the most gracious and kind host I have ever met. His tour of the property was awe inspiring. The views of the olive orchards, forests, fields and rolling hills are oh-my-god beautiful. The attentive service of Maria, Gregorio and Raffa are unaparalleled. And then there was Bruno, the sweetest dog ever! Maria cleaned up after our meals and always had the breakfast table ready for us each day. Our rooms were incredibly clean. The showers are divine. The sitting rooms and kitchettes are sweet. Beautiful vistas and outdoor patios. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. We had chefs come in for two meals and they were fantastic. We highly recommend that you book them so that you can have dinner out on that beautiful patio. As hot as it was each day the evenings were a perfect temperature with a nice breeze. Make sure you swim in the lake. We used the life jackets as a floaty devices and it was heavenly. It was as if we were the only people in the world. The San Valentin restaurant is so close and a must. The abbey is beautiful and the restaurant there is fantastic. Easy day trips to Montelcino, Montepulciano, Siena and Cortona. We toured two fantastic Brunello wineries. Patrick is a phenomenal resource about where to go and what to enjoy. Btw: he's also a sommelier! We spent a lot of time in Buenconvento and found it to be a hidden gem. It's so beautiful! The Main Street has wonderful el fresco dining, great little shops, and a fantastic bakery. We loved the wine bar, La Porta di Sotto. Job, the sommolier, is friendly and speaks English and was very patient with our weak Italian. The little grocery store (that Patrick recommended) has everything you need. And there's also a Co-op. It was hard to leave. As a group of nine women who had come together to celebrate one another and a milestone birthday, we chose Tuscany for its beauty, food, wine and culture. We travelled from Canada, U.S.A, Peru and Switzerland to have this week together. We can't imagine a more picturesque and relaxing place. Forever in our hearts.
