Private visit to the House of Grand Duke Leopold of Tuscany with invitation
If we talk about Tuscany, we cannot ignore the culture linked to tradition and history: the proposed activity is one of a kind, and interesting, since it allows access to a symbolic place of the valley that would otherwise not be possible to visit. Podere degli Olmi is the only original Leopoldina house that can be visited, and since it is private, access is only possible through this experience. The guide will be the descendant of one of the oldest noble families, who will tell you every detail of the Valdichiana and its traditions. You will take a leap back a few centuries, and it will be interesting to be in the presence of objects and walls full of history and years. The visit will end with a tasting of typical products linked to the territory, the history and cultivation of which will be illustrated to you, so that you can spend an evening learning about the secrets and nature of the territory that hosts you: the Valdichiana.
