Absolutely the best hosts you could ask for! Me and my girlfriend went on a road trip in Northern Italy + Florence and made La Fornella dell’Anita one of our stops. On our way there we got stuck in traffic and wouldn’t arrive until late at night. But they where both so kind so they stayed up and waited for us to arrive, once we did they had prepared some amazing food. Just great overall, really friendly and kind hosts, great communication leading up to our visit as well. The house is also very beautiful, very modern and “fresh” but still has its old charm, just what you’d want from a place like this. The surrounding area also very beautiful, great pool-area and gorgeous setting in general. We also highly recommend that you eat dinner here as often as you can, Anita is a fabulous cook and we got an excellent taste of some genuine Tuscany food! La Fornella dell’Anita was without a doubt the highlight of our trip!

We arrived at La Fornella Dell’Anita having had to leave another agriturismo near Florence early because we were so dissatisfied with the accommodation. When booking La Fornella, we spoke at length with Francesco to be certain we wouldn’t be disappointed a second time. As per the title, he and Anita and their beautiful home became our saviours! As soon as we arrived, he explained that this was their home to which they were both delighted to welcome us and although they would not be invade our personal space, they would be there 24/7 for anything we needed. The property setting is magnificent – everything you would dream of seeing from your Tuscan bedroom window when you wake in the morning. The apartments, newly renovated, are absolutely gorgeous. The décor is really attractive with a beautiful mix of old antiques and contemporary conveniences. The pool area and garden are really lovely. We ate there for the four evenings we stayed and it was amongst the best food we had in Italy during our three week stay. Anita is a wonderful cook and a beautiful person. She tailored her menus to suit our children, and we adults ate everything that was put in front of us – every morsel delicious. It was great to finish our Italian trip on a high and we very much look forward to returning to help Francesco and Anita with the olive harvest some time in the future!

We very warmly recommend La Fornella (La Fornella dell’Anita) where we celebrated our wedding with friends and family. This is a fantastic place which has been renovated with very great care and understanding of the “soul” of the old building. La Fornella, in combination with a beautiful view of the valley, was the perfect setting for our wedding. Anita and Francesco are the greatest hosts, and treated us and our guests with warmth and hospitality. During our stay Anita cooked for us the best Tuscan dishes, prepared with local ingredients and a whole lot of love :-). It was absolutely amazing. Francesco is a wonderful host and a great storyteller, and has deep knowledge of both the local Tuscan and the Italian history, folklore etc. We enjoyed many evenings in their company. In short, we had the wedding of our dreams only made possible by La Fornella, Francesco and Anita. Thank you so much, and hope to see you again soon. Love Linda and Steen.

We spent two evenings dining with our almost two year old daughter at the restaurant of La Fornella dell Anita and had two wonderfull evenings there. The owners inmediately made us feel very welcome and at home in their beautiful garden serving us tasty wines and a lot of delicious home made specialties that also our daughter really liked! We felt like there was all the time in the world to relax and enjoy the best that Toscany has to offer here. We look forward to coming back in the future and spending the night in one of the beautiful rooms!

We were in the region with a group of Italian and Swiss friends on a motorcycle tour and also to see the Moto GP. The accommodations were very nice, clean spacious and the hospitality granted from Anita and Francesco was out of this world. Their English was certainly better than my Italian which helped tremendously. Really felt like home and family. Best of all was the food. Local fruit, meat, pasta and wine was the BEST! We’ve travelled all over Italy and have never had food or hospitality this nice. My wife and I would highly recommend staying here for as long as you can, enjoy the pool and the view, and explore the Tuscan countryside. Note; there is excellent WiFi through the house, grounds, pool etc…and don’t forget to buy a bottle of the family olive oil….you won’t find better in the local shops.

In trasferta per la MotoGP al Mugello, abbiamo trascorso due notti in questo agriturismo a pochi chilometri da Firenze, affacciato su una valle mozzafiato e immerso in una natura incontaminata. Sono bastati pochi istanti per renderci conto che eravamo approdati a qualcosa di davvero speciale. Anita e Francesco, i proprietari e gestori della struttura sono stati semplicemente fantastici, venendo incontro a ogni nostra esigenza e facendoci sentire coccolati sotto ogni aspetto. La struttura è semplicemente stupenda, con camere e sale curate nei particolari e restaurate con ottimo gusto. La cucina di Anita è qualcosa di eccezionale, basata su prodotti di alta qualità, cucinati con maestria. Le cene che abbiamo avuto la fortuna di gustare sono state una più buona dell’altra. Per chi cerca la vera bellezza, fatta di gusto e di semplicità, un ambiente accogliente e curato, il clima sereno offerto da due osti eccezionali, La Fornella dell’Anita è il luogo perfetto a cui fare visita. Noi ci torneremo sicuramente e lo consigliamo a chiunque.

Urlaub auf einem Biobauernhof bedeutet Entspannung, gutes Essen und Natur. Die Fornella dell’Anita bietet all diese Zutaten tatsächlich auf höchstem Niveau. Das elegante, vor kurzem renovierte Gebäude verfügt über sehr saubere Mini-Appartements, die mit raffiniertem Stil und Liebe fürs Detail eingerichtet wurden: Der rustikale Stil vergangener Zeiten wird mit modernem Komfort vereint. Die Olivenbäume, der Swimmingpool und der Gartenpavillon bilden den perfekten Rahmen zum Relaxen und um die zauberhafte Hügellandschaft zu bewundern, die nur 30 Minuten von Florenz als Hochburg der toskanischen und italienischen Kultur, entfernt ist. In Bezug auf die Küche schließe ich mich zweifelsohne den bereits veröffentlichten positiven Bewertungen an. Die bescheidene Anita wandelt traditionelle, nicht nur toskanische Rezepte meisterlich in schmackhafte und harmonische Speisen um, die delikate und besondere Rezepte mit Zutaten aus der eigenen Landwirtschaft bzw. von der Nachbarschaft vereinen. Desserts und Kuchen werden täglich von Anita liebevoll selbst zubereitet und schmecken außergewöhnlich gut, besser als Patisserie-Produkte! Man könnte sich kaum Besseres wünschen: all das im Rahmen eines einzigen Urlaubs! Abgesehen davon werden wir in unserem Herzen die Heiterkeit und die authentische Gastfreundschaft von Anita und Francesco mitnehmen, die stets freundlich und hilfsbereit sind und deren Bemühungen und Leidenschaft sich überall in der Fornella sowie in jeder ihrer Gesten widerspiegeln! Nochmals danke für alles! Elena, Yuris, Giada & Giacomo
