The farm complex used as a holiday
resort consists of a villa and three apartments bearing
the names of their ancient inhabitants (Nello, Bruno
and Cerini) adjoining the villa.
The apartments are fully independent but may be, if
necessary, connected to the villa to form a single
unit. The family also owns the beautiful wood of Frugnolo,
located only 5 miles away from the nearby hamlet of
Rigutino, up on the hill travelling towards the park
of Lignano. This is a very particular place featuring
a wood of Douglas fir, a rare species in this area.
The fir-wood was planted by Carlo Sandrelli as early
as in the first half of the 20th century and may be
viewed due to its peculiarity as an essay of Tuscan
agronomic history. Carlo Sandrelli also had the charming
cypress-tree lined road built that once, passing by
the ancient Pieve della Sassaia located above Rigutino,
connected the lowe valley with the Monte Frugnolo.
This road, still visible from the current road, may
be travelle don on foot for those wishing to go for
a hike.
Guests will be able to find here an ideal place for
long, relaxing walks and take advantage of the services
and facilities offered by the park of Lignano to go
for a picnic.
