Anghiari Monti Rognosi Nature Reserve Hotels

"If ever your heart longs for an iconic Tuscan getaway, La Calla will fill your every dream. From arrival, my wife and I were greeted by Lulu, Luca and Maya, our hosts well mannered family dog. The privacy of the house, property & grounds were more than described with very clean and comfortable beds & bathrooms (w oh so quiet AC), a well appointed kitchen (we love to cook), the best swimming pool ever & stunning views in all directions.Our host couple foraged in the local mountains and gave us some precious porcini mushrooms. Delicious. We told Lulu we were interested in visiting an olive press farm down the road and she called ahead. We we happened to make a visit the proprietor welcomed us and gave us a tour of her oil press. We happily bought 4 bottles that we brought home with us. So spicy and delicious.This is a multi-generational compound. While we were there the grandfather harvested grapes from his vineyard and then processed them, de-stemming the clusters, pressing the grapes and pumping the juice into a vat to begin the fermentation process. He was very gracious to allow us to watch. The location made for easy drives to Anghiari, Cortona, Siana, Sansepolcro (huge grocery store), Orvieto, Arezzo and may other nearby Tuscan & Umbrian towns. That being said, above all else the amazing quiet, serenity and views with our morning coffee. All this and 9 hours sleep every night!Needless to say, we loved our visit and would love to do it all again!"
