Food & Drink

The restaurant is open by reservation only, for both the farm guests and the non-staying diners. During the summer we’re open for dinner every evening, from October to May only from Friday to Sunday evening (apart from special arrangement for groups of at least 8 people), we’re always open from 8 pm. During the spring we are usually open on Sundays for lunch, by reservation only. Guests staying at the farm, are required to book their dinner no later than the morning as this allows us to offer a more extensive menu. You can choose a la carte menu or daily menus, composed of a first course, main course and side dish and dessert for a whole price of Euro 20,00 per person, Euro 12,00 for children. From our small cellar, in addition to red, white and rosé house wine, you will get a selection of Tuscan wines and from Lucca, going through the Chianti region, weget to the Maremma region. We organize lunches, dinners and buffets for events and ceremonies with personalized menus. For the farm guests we offer a breakfast buffet (included in the bedroom rates) where, in addition to traditional local products of the continental breakfast, cakes, tarts, biscuits, honey and jams of our production, you’ll also find some local products for a savoury breakfast. Our menus, in respect of the locally sourced ingredients, only include dishes made with own products, or local products, or otherwise of Tuscan origin. Only a few products come from neighboring municipalities near Bagni di Lucca, in the Province of Modena (Emilia Romagna) and others whose production area includes only in part our Region. With regard to transparency and communication in order to improve the knowledge of the Tuscan certified products and their characteristics, in the dining hall the card of the ingredients and their certified origin can be found. The availability of these ingredients, being them grown by us or bought from local companies influence greatly our menus. All this in compliance with the provisions of the existing “Disciplina delle attività agrituristiche in Toscana” (Rules of farm-stay in Tuscany), which requires that “the meals, food and drinks, including alcoholic drinks” should be “made with the farm products, complemented by products from local businesses, as well as with products of Tuscan certified origin”.

Agriturismo La Torre's team
Our team

The farm is run by us, Paolo and Laura, the owners of the farm. In 2002 we left our office work for good to dedicate our time first to the restoration, and then the management of this little part of Tuscany: a dream come true and at the same time the consolidation of our love. As a matter of fact in 2005 we got married here, in the small church set in the tower overlooking the farm. In addition to the hospitality that characterizes the management of the agriturismo, we also take care of the various agricultural activities of the company and over the years we have increased our knowledge through experience, continuing education and training. With the birth of our first child and even more with the arrival of the second one, we have relied on the help of some employees that today have become part of the family. It is also thanks to them that this place will hopefully remain impressed in your heart as it is engraved in ours.
