If you are looking for an incredible family stay deep in the heart of gorgeous Tuscany, La Moscadella is one of the loveliest agriturismos Tuscany has to offer.
The word agriturismo combines the Italian words for agriculture and tourism. An agriturismo is a combination of a vineyard and farm or a hotel that provides farmhouse accommodations or self-catering apartments. It allows tourists to experience the Italian rural life first-hand.
Agriturismos are great for families that want to experience a true working farm in Italy and an immersive cultural experience in the Italian or Tuscan countryside. It’s a way to enjoy Italian culture in a different way. They're affordable for families and the food is amazing!
La Moscadella is a 16th-century monastery that Isabella Moricciani and her family purchased in 2013. They lovingly restored it to be a gorgeous agriturismo with a private garden, a panoramic swimming pool, and all the modern comforts overlooking the Tuscan countryside
We loved ending a long day exploring with a delicious rustic-style dinner at the on-site restaurant La Cucina. The food is sourced from local farm produce and the herb garden on site. You’ll get a chance to taste La Moscadella’s delicious extra virgin olive oil which is simply amazing.
When you stay a La Moscadella, you can customize your days depending on your family’s interests. There are exclusive activities just for guests. When you arrive, the hosts provide you with a calendar of specially curated weekly events. The onsite concierge is so helpful, she arranged off property activities for us as well.
Another nice thing about this Tuscany agriturismo is that Isabella and the team have taken great care to provide guests with the things their children need, like a special plastic bathtub, high chair. baby monitor, bottle warmer, toys, teddy bears, and a baby bed. Kids feel right at home.
