L'Albero's owner, Yves Lebreton - a Frenchman who spent 20 years in Italy and who lives in a small restored barn behind the farm-house - will stock the kitchen in advance with wines of your choice, and Parma ham, eggs and breads. It is fully restored in harmony with traditional style of Tuscany and boasts all modern comforts with luxury accommodations. Just 25 kilometers south of Florence, l'Albero is one of the most upscale examples of farm vacation, where travellers can experience traditional olive groves still at work today. It is open all the year for weekly rent. It lies roughly equidistant between Florence, Siena, Pisa and the sea side which makes it a perfect rental base for exploring the Chianti region.
L'Albero's meticulous restoration saved its old terra-cotta floors, wood-beamed ceilings and door frames made of classic “pietra serena”, or, literally, serene stone, a type of sandstone found in many rustic ettings in Tuscany.

Book l'Albero directly with Mr. Guests at l'Albero have two equally tempting gastronomic choices: cooking their own food in the modern, fully equipped kitchen; or hiring l'Albero's cook to prepare dinners for the entire troop.
