Organic Tuscany near Pisa in a bio bed & breakfast

In one of the most enchanting areas of Tuscany, dominated by the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa, surrounded by the green hills of Chianni, there is the Bio B&B Podere La Sterza, a meeting point for all those who choose to spend a weekend or a longer holiday relaxing among nature and eating Tuscan organic cuisine.

Good Clean and Just, is Carlo Petrini’s motto. He is President of the Slowfood association of which Carlotta and Gigi are members and above all followers. Carlotta and Gigi have a long chef experience and now are the hosts of the charming farmhouse of Podere La Sterza, where there is a comfortable bio b&b at 0 km, meaning that all products, food and other, come from local firms.

Therefore, there is nothing better than to begin your holydays in the morning with a healthy breakfast, made of fresh seasonal fruit, homemade yogurt, cakes, bread and quiches made from stone ground flour that can still be found in this countryside thanks to millers of this area who like to keep this century-old tradition alive.
Always available are various kinds of cold meat and salami, as well as cheese from biodynamic agriculture, great to taste and also to look at!
Also unforgettable are the fresh eggs every morning from Ernesto's poultry pen, the friendly neighbour, an organic farmer who takes care of his land and animals with authentic passion and devotion.

The beauties of nature can also be found in the elegant bedrooms of the bed & breakfast in which the guests will find original and beneficial cushions for aromatherapy, made by Carlotta with the many herbs either cultivated or that grow spontaneously in this area.

And after a day spent visiting the nearby Volterra or the surrounding medieval hamlets of Miemo, Lajatico, Capannoli, Terricciola, Peccioli and Palaia... the guests can return to a typical Tuscan dinner in the food & wine club of Podere La Sterza, where also many vegan dishes are available for vegetarians.

Quality and 100% freshness among a natural environment are pleasures to be discovered and shared and that are offered to the guests of the Bio B&B until 30 June 2010 with a special weekend formula (Friday and and Saturday or Saturday and Sundays) at 40,00 Euro per person per night in a double room with bathroom.
Certainly the perfect occasion for a pleasant ecological holiday characterised by health, taste and art.
