Your stay at Camugliano: rolling hills, country roads and authentic local experiences
Enjoy a relaxing stay at Casa del Fattore and take advantage of the opportunity to request an authentic truffle hunting experience with a licensed local truffle hunter.
Nestled among rolling hills, winding country roads, vineyards and charming medieval villages, Casa del Fattore is beautifully situated within the historic gardens of the Medici Villa on the Camugliano Estate. It offers a unique opportunity to experience the authentic beauty and tranquillity of the Tuscan countryside.
During your stay, you may, upon request, ask our booking assistance service to arrange a truffle hunting experience. The activity is organised and conducted exclusively by a licensed local truffle hunter acting as an independent provider and is not operated by the accommodation.
You will stay in a beautifully restored traditional Tuscan farmhouse surrounded by an unspoilt rural landscape that is also ideal for exploring by bicycle. The spacious apartments feature two or three bedrooms and are perfectly suited to families, couples or groups of friends. Outside, you can enjoy a private garden with a pergola, an outdoor dining area, barbecue facilities and a private swimming pool – the perfect place to unwind after a day of memorable experiences.
Cycling enthusiasts will also appreciate the facilities provided during their stay, including a secure bicycle garage, locked bike storage, dedicated bicycle racks, an e-bike charging station and a convenient laundry room for washing and drying cycling clothing.
Just a few kilometres from Casa del Fattore lies one of Italy's most renowned truffle-producing areas: the rolling hills between San Miniato and Palaia. Thanks to an exceptional microclimate, ideal soil conditions and a remarkably unspoilt natural environment, this region is home to some of Italy's most highly prized truffle varieties.
Guests wishing to take part may request, through our booking assistance service, a guided truffle hunting excursion lasting approximately two hours. Accompanied by an experienced truffle hunter and specially trained dogs, you will discover the fascinating traditions and techniques of truffle hunting. Participation is entirely optional, is not included in the accommodation price and is subject solely to the terms and conditions of the independent activity provider.
During the excursion, you will learn about the different truffle species found in the area and discover the centuries-old traditions that continue to make this region one of Italy's most celebrated truffle destinations.
Few people know that one of the most extraordinary truffles ever discovered was found in San Miniato, helping to establish the area's worldwide reputation for producing truffles of exceptional quality.
After this unforgettable outdoor experience, return to Casa del Fattore and enjoy the peace of the Tuscan countryside—perhaps with dinner beneath the pergola or a refreshing swim in your private pool as the sun sets over the rolling hills.
The "from €105" price refers exclusively to accommodation in a two-bedroom apartment (sleeping up to four guests) and includes only the services listed under "Included Services." Participation in the truffle hunting experience is an optional extra, separate from the accommodation and available upon request through our booking assistance service.
Larger accommodation options and tailor-made solutions are also available. Upon request, we will be pleased to assist you in enquiring about and requesting bookings for additional experiences offered by carefully selected local providers, subject to their availability and individual terms and conditions, allowing you to enrich your stay while discovering the very best of the region. A stay at Casa del Fattore is an invitation to slow down, embrace the beauty of the Tuscan countryside and, if you wish, enjoy authentic experiences provided by local experts, discovering the region's finest flavours, traditions and unique heritage at your own pace.
