Castello di Grotti is the name of an established family business passed down through many generations in some of most lovely areas of Tuscany: in the countryside South of Siena.
We provide accommodations for visitors in typical country houses that have been comfortably up-graded to vacation rentals in order to suit demanding tastes without losing any of the charm of the typical farmhouses of Tuscany.
Besides, we breed sheep whose milk is deliciously perfumed with local wild herbs, and we grow olive trees whose delicate-tasting extravirgin oil we process ourselves according to the European Union’s regulations. Recently our olive oil received the prestigious SLOW FOOD prize.
Activities
Grotti is a small village southwest of Siena. The castle is less than a kilometer from the village of Ville di Corsano which has a small grocery store, post office, bar, and a convenience store.
The agritourism that we cultivate is located in the Comune (local district) of Sovicille, near the medieval town of Orgia where Casa del Fabbro is located. In the Comune of Monteroni d’Arbia near the little village of Ville di Corsano is the other part, centered on Castello di Grotti. Casa della Mucca and Pozzarello are located here.
Our main business office is in one part of the imposing structure of Castello di Grotti. Shelters for machinery and farm products are in the surrounding farm buildings.
We cultivate various olive groves. The olives are harvested in late autumn and early winter and are pressed to produce the precious olive oil, DOC whose denomination is "Olio extravergine d'oliva IGP Toscano".
