More information:

Pian dei Mucini Country House is not the usual holiday farm found in Maremma Toscana where so many come just because it is in vogue or to take a holiday to compare to other places you have already seen. You will ask yourself  what could be so different! We would like to answer simply that if you wish to come and visit, come over sooner or later… And as you drive home you might think to yourself that it was well worth it!

It is no accident that famous people from the world of entertainment and sports (professional footballers, skiers, cyclists, journalists famous photographers) have stayed at our holiday farm located only 3 kilometres from Massa Marittima, all of whom were searching for simplicity, familiarity and courtesy but - above all – they were all people who enjoyed “living well” and blending that with genuineness and fun.

Our services include a restaurant reserved for guests of our facility, the cellar, suitable for keeping and tasting wines; an enclosed playground for children, a private car park, a route inside the property for trekking and mountain bike riding for children and adults; a pool (16 x 8) on two levels (120 cm & 150 cm); a wood stove and barbecue, bicycle garage and rental and a new multi-use grass field.

Our passion

Home style cuisine, cultivation of olives and vineyards, animals, various sports with special attention to bicycling. Special mention goes to the mountain bike school affiliated with the Italian Bicycle Federation, to street bikes, the garage and its mechanic, technical and nutritional assistance offered by professionals in the field.

Our products

 Are grown with organic fertilizer blended with a very small percentage of chemical products. Oil, wine, liqueurs, cereal (wheat, barley etc) fodder for our small breeding of bovines are produced on our farm. A special mention must go to our Extra Virgin olive oil’s unmistakable flavor and harmony, the San giovese and malvasia grapes from our DOC vineyard are used to make our excellent “Monteregio” wine.

The facility

Named Citerniella farm, an old path runs along the property  that once connected medieval city Massa Marittima to today’s village of Prata; the name is probably derived from the water “cisterns” that were once in the area. The original nucleus of the facility, now demolished, dates back to (according to various details passed down over time) the late Middle Ages, whereas the more substantial portion of the structure along with all other portions that were added later on including the cellars and oven could date back to the Medici era up until the early 20^th century. The story is told of Giuseppe Garibaldi, on the run in 1849, who stopped at the neighboring Podere Maleotti and even visited the Podere Citerniella. 

The Pian dei Mucini Country Houses is now made up of two buildings: the first being the former manor house, whose walls most likely date back to the 14^th/15^th century, made up of 5 master bedrooms, a triple (all of which include bath an television) as well as three 2-room flats of various dimensions on different floors of the manor.

The two dining rooms are located on the ground floor. Breakfast is served there as well. The very next room leads to the cellar where our products are preserved, our wines, oils and typical products can also be sampled there. Floors and ceilings were renovated with authentic materials wherever possible.

The flat called Salvia (sage) is also located on the ground floor. This 2-room flat also offers access to the disabled and is made up of a living area with kitchenette and couch-bed, master bedroom and bath.
