We just returned from a 12-day wedding/honeymoon trip in Italy. In case you don't want to read my ramblings (and I wouldn't blame you), let's just leave it at this: (1) this was the nicest place we stayed and the one at which we wished we had more time, and (2) the pictures here do not to it justice. Oh, I lied, here's (3): you should book this now before everyone finds out about this young agriturismo and you can't get rooms and/or the price goes up.
The place, originally a mid 1700s structure, has been completely revamped from the ground up. The renovation was perfect: everything is spotless, the grounds immaculate, all details paid careful attention. The result is a warm, comforting and quiet setting that puts you smack dab in the middle of the Tuscan countryside in a way that would make a painter blush. At night, if you go outside with a bottle of wine and just listen, you can hear the wind gently blowing through the nearby fields and trees, rushing from the tops of surrounding hills. Sounds like a cheeseball romance story, but it's something I remember vividly.
The meals are downright under-sold and over-delivered. The food is fantastic, the Tuesday homecooked dinner is NOT to be missed (if you can get the truffle gnocchi, do it -- don't even think for a second of NOT doing it, trust me, or I will be very angry at you here on the Interwebs), and they'll even do a light lunch for you if you ask them. No, they don't have a nightly meal offering (except on Tuesday), but don't be daunted: Cortona is a 12 minute drive away and offers some downright AMAZING trattorias and ristorantes at reasonable prices.
The innkeepers -- Marco, Paolo and Eugenia -- are world-class human beings. While Paolo and Eugenia are learning English daily (and doing a great job, I might add), Marco is quite fluent in English and we had no problem asking him myriad questions. They're insanely nice people, obviously running an agriturismo for the love of it, and it shows. You won't find nicer innkeepers.
So yeah, I'm gushing, but let me put it this way: we had the most awesome trip to Italy we could have ever imagined. Thinking back, I recall our time at Le Terre dei Cavalieri the most -- it's what my brain flashes to when I think of our time in Tuscany. It's that good.
It's truly the best of the best. Get while the gettin's good, though: eventually, this place won't be a secret anymore.
Room Tip: The La Loggia room has access to a commons balcony AND a kitchen. Try to get it if you can.
