Podere Badia

Country House in Borgo San Lorenzo in the hills

In the picturesque ValDrago, located in the heart of the charming Mugello Verde and near the Autodromo, stands the Podere Badia, an ancient farmhouse whose existence is documented since 1045. In the past, this place was chosen as a summer residence by the Badesse mothers of Luco and it is said that even Matilde di Canossa stayed here. Surrounding the majestic farmhouse are meadows, chestnut and conifer forests, an enchanting olive grove that produces high-quality oil, and a breathtaking panorama of Mugello at an altitude of 450 meters. The Podere Badia enjoys a microclimate that makes winters less harsh and summers always breezy. For our guests, we have 6 spacious rooms furnished in typical Tuscan style, with antique furniture. Our extremely comfortable bathrooms are equipped with a whirlpool tub, a shower with seating, ample space, and refined design. Additionally, we offer a large lounge where our guests can relax in both summer and winter, watching television, reading a good book, playing the guitar, playing checkers or chess, or simply conversing. During winter, you can enjoy the warmth of our fireplace, while in summer you can cool off in the shade of the imposing walls of the house.

Restaurant

Grandma used to cook: At our place you won't find tables for two; we all eat together at a long wooden table, where we can talk about our day, share stories and listen to others and their experiences. We savor dishes from my grandmother's memory, which I am able to recreate with the same love she had for cooking. The appetizers include crostini, a selection of mixed Tuscan cold cuts, salami, Tuscan ham, finocchiona, hand-cut sbriciolona, spread pancetta, lardo di Colonnata, our famous pickled vegetables, sun-dried tomatoes with fennel, peperonata, and salted anchovies from grandpa Angelo. The first courses consist of potato tortelli from Mugello with meat sauce, ricotta ravioli, porcini mushroom pappardelle, wild boar maccheroni, prugnoli mushroom tagliolini, pigeon risotto, Chianti risotto, ribollita, panzanella, pasta e fagioli, pesto crepes, leek polenta, sausage polenta, beef stew, and farinata. The main courses include fragrant meat and bread skewers with herbs, pork loin with apples, Tuscan stew, ossobuco, and the famous Florentine steak. For dessert, we have homemade tiramisu, cakes, and pastries.

You will be hosted by Iacopo

I reside in this magnificent residence dating back to the Eighth century (that is, the period between the 800s and 1000s) with my two splendid children, Noemi and Vieri, aged 12 and 11. This place has always belonged to my family and it is here that I have chosen to settle down with my loved ones. Our everyday life revolves around agriculture and livestock, following the rhythm of nature. During the summer, we wake up early to make the most of the long days, while in winter, we warm ourselves by the fire and stove. Here, life still flows at the pace of a bygone era, giving us an authentic experience.
