Agriturismo Biologico Diacceroni

Hotel Description

Look, I’ve stayed at my fair share of agriturismos in Tuscany, but Diacceroni actually gets it right – and I mean really right. Tucked away in this little hamlet called Villamagna (honestly, most people zoom right past it heading to Volterra), this place feels like you stumbled onto someone’s family property… because well, you basically did. The drive up through the cypress-lined road is pretty classic Tuscan stuff, but what hits you first is how quiet it is. I mean, properly quiet – no highway noise, just olive groves stretching out toward those rolling hills that make you understand why everyone’s obsessed with this region.

The whole “biologico” thing isn’t just marketing speak here. They’re actually growing their own vegetables and herbs right on the property, and you can smell the rosemary and lavender when you’re walking around in the evening. The rooms have that perfect balance of rustic charm without making you feel like you’re roughing it – stone walls, wooden beams, but the beds are comfortable and the bathrooms work properly (trust me, that’s not always a given in these converted farmhouses). What really impressed me was the attention to detail – they’ve got these little touches like locally-made soaps and breakfast jams from their own fruit trees. The breakfast, by the way, is fantastic. Fresh bread, local cheeses, and if you’re lucky, Signora Maria will bring out some of her homemade cakes. She doesn’t speak much English, but her smile says everything.

You know what makes this place special though? It’s the location without feeling isolated. Sure, you’re surrounded by countryside, but San Gimignano is maybe twenty minutes away, and you can actually see Volterra perched on its hill from some of the rooms. The family running it – I think it’s three generations living on the property – they genuinely seem to enjoy having guests around. They’ll point you toward the best local restaurants (skip the touristy places in town and head to that little trattoria in Casole d’Elsa they recommended), and they know which hiking trails are worth your time. Parking’s easy, check-in was refreshingly straightforward, and the whole place has this lived-in authenticity that’s getting harder to find. The pool area overlooks the valley, and honestly, I spent more time there with a book than I planned to. It’s not huge or fancy, but it’s clean and the view is ridiculous. Just don’t expect much nightlife – this is more about waking up to roosters and falling asleep to crickets, which is exactly what you want from a place like this.

Reviews

• Authentic Tuscan experience – Nagarik from United States – 10 June 2025 (9/10)

  The location, the view, that facility and the staffs. We were there for a short stay but would love to come back and stay here longer. We also did horse riding and the staff there were very helpful as well.

• Great stay – Phoenix32 from United States – 28 May 2025 (10/10)

  Wonderful, fun, engaging stay. Family friendly, beautiful easy to find location amongst Tuscan hills and it was an easy drive to Volterra from there. Delicious restaurant, lots of onsite amenities worthwhile.
  
  What could be improved: Room was a little dark

• Superb – Joelle from United States – 20 May 2025 (9/10)

  The property is amazing. Tucked into the rolling hills of the Tuscan countryside, it has everything you could want out of a stay in Tuscany. Pool was wonderful, with incredible views! We loved the horses, and that they free roamed around the property. Playground and overall incredibly kid friendly. Relaxing property. Apartment was well equipped and the shower was hot! The overall vibes of this place are wonderful. Staff at the restaurant and the "parties" were kind and welcoming. Overall an amazing stay and we wouldn't hesitate to return.
  
  Thank you for an amazing Tuscan holiday!!
  
  What could be improved: We stayed 5 nights and no fresh towels are offered or included. 5€ per towel, per person adds up quickly. Replacement towels should be offered for longer stays.
  
  As others have mentioned, there's no housekeeping- even for long stays. We had to take our own trash and recycling out, and we're offered 1x trash bag for 5 people for 5 nights. All of this is understandable/manageable but then we were charged €80 on checkout for cleaning. We had to purchase our own trash bags and extra toilet paper. Given the price of the accommodation, this isn't a deal breaker but I think these policies should be better advertised to equip guests with what they need to bring, but what to expect on checkout.
  
  These minor issues didn't impact our stay but are worth mentioning for future guests!

• Excellent place, amazing staff! – Edsel from United States – 14 April 2025 (10/10)

  Out of my 10 day vacation in Italy, I have to say this has been the best experience, and the highlight of my kids as we learned to make pizza in Agriturimso Diacceroni. While the place was beautiful, close to towns like Volterra, it was the people that made this experience a once in a lifetime opportunity, and the culture of the people is reflected on legacy that is built upon this place and rich history. From the very start when we ate dinner, Ileana made us feel very special, we quickly connected with her and made us feel right at home. The next day she gave us the pizza cooking class and she poured her soul, teaching us about the intracacies of the dough, the fresh ingredients, the cooking process. During this trip we went to Rome, Venize, Florence and while we did good tours and spectacular scenary, it was Ileana’s pizza cooking class that was the true highlight of the vacation for my family (wife and kids) and through her, we were very grateful to getting to know the local culture.

• Handy location to visit surrounding villages, lovely restaurant. – Donald from Australia – 30 March 2025 (9/10)

  The farm stay was rustic, the apartment was so Tuscan. Unfortunately the kettle had been used for heating milk and we took a while to realise why our drinks looked like curdled milk, it was hard to clean. The bed was so firm (hard) we had to put the sofa bed mattress on top to be able to sleep. Only two HUGEhard pillows, we got a slim one upon asking but…
  The unit was clean and roomy, only two complementary coffee pods for 4 nights stay and no jug to heat milk for coffee ( hence someone using the kettle). The family was lovely and the staff were terrific, would have loved to be there for the party nights! Great having the horses roaming around.

• Ideal mix or relaxation and activity – highly recommended – Matt from United States – 6 November 2024 (10/10)

  Pretty much everything – the view was stunning, the staff welcoming and accommodating, the activities offered were enjoyable for all ages and encouraged getting to know the fellow visitors, communication was proactive and it was a great value for the money.
  
  What could be improved: There was very little to complain about during our stay. Any questions or requests we had were promptly addressed by the staff. As it was the off season (late October), some of the activities weren't available, but that was communicated in advance and the staff still offered a variety of options for families.

• Perfect for what we wanted. – Elise from Australia – 7 October 2024 (10/10)

  Great location and activities.

• A magical week relaxing poolside in Tuscany. – Mary from United States – 14 June 2024 (10/10)

  Beautiful! A magical location in the Tuscan hills. Very family friendly.

• Exceptional – Foerster from Italy – 20 November 2023 (10/10)

  Exceptional place with amazing staff, views, outside places, walks, options, horses, food, breakfast and possibilities! The ideal family place!! Make sure to bring the basics for cooking if you rent an apartment.
