Agriturismo San Filippo

Hotel Description

You know what? I’ve stayed at a lot of agriturismos across Tuscany, but San Filippo really gets it right. It’s tucked away in this tiny frazione called Sticcianese – honestly, you’ll probably miss the turn the first time because it’s basically just a handful of farmhouses scattered around rolling hills about 10 minutes outside Campagnatico proper. The whole place feels like someone’s well-loved family property that they’ve opened up to guests, which I mean, it probably is. When you pull up the gravel drive (parking’s never an issue here, by the way), you’re immediately hit with that mix of lavender and cypress that just screams Maremma countryside. The building itself has that weathered stone look that takes centuries to achieve – not the fake rustic stuff you see at chain hotels.

What really sold me was how they’ve managed to keep the authentic farmhouse vibe while actually making it comfortable for modern travelers. The rooms have these incredible thick walls that keep everything cool even in August, and honestly, the silence at night is almost startling if you’re used to city noise. I stayed in one of the upper rooms with a view toward the hills around Cinigiano, and watching the mist roll through the valleys at sunrise… well, it’s the kind of thing that makes you understand why people fall in love with this part of Italy. The owners – I think they’re originally from Rome but have been here for years – know everyone in the area and can point you toward the best spots. They sent me to this tiny osteria in Campagnatico that I never would have found otherwise, where the locals actually hang out and the pici cacio e pepe is absolutely perfect.

The property itself sprawls across olive groves and vineyards, and they’re not just for show – you can actually watch the harvest if you time it right in October. There’s this great terrace where they serve breakfast (proper espresso, not that watery hotel stuff), and it faces east so you get morning sun without the afternoon heat. I actually extended my stay an extra night because leaving felt wrong somehow. The whole experience feels less like a hotel and more like visiting friends who happen to have incredible taste and a gorgeous property in one of Tuscany’s most underrated corners. Sure, you’ll need a car to get around – the nearest real town is Grosseto, about 20 minutes away – but that’s kind of the point. This isn’t a place for people who want to be in the thick of tourist crowds; it’s for when you want to disappear into the real Tuscany for a while.

• Superb – Urška from Slovenia – 1 March 2024 (9/10)

• Terrific stay. – Linda from Australia – 2 July 2023 (8/10)

  The parking was brilliant. A bit dark inside the unit but the outlook from the veranda was just lovely. It made you just want to sit. Lots of outdoor furniture to sit and lay on. The unit had everything you needed. Air conditioning, full kitchen with small electric oven, washing machine and a kettle. Small supermarket up the road but a proper supermarket is about a 15 minute drive away. The host was just the loveliest person and we had a huge breakfast basket and drinks in the fridge when we arrived. Very thoughtful.
  
  What could be improved: The noisy people in the unit next to us. If it was just us we would have so enjoyed the view more and the peace and quiet but it’s summer and everyone is on vacation.

• Exceptional – Szilveszter from Hungary – 12 April 2023 (10/10)

  Beautiful view from Jakuzzi, plentyful breakfast, great coffee, comfortable bed. The owner of the house was really kind with us, despite we don't speak Italian.

• Exceptional – Iris from Germany – 25 September 2022 (10/10)

  The calm landscape and the garden with whirlpool were amazing
  
  What could be improved: Take some mosquitoes spray for staying outside in whole Toscana, but the view is worth it

• Exceptional – Daniel from Austria – 26 July 2022 (10/10)

  All in all we had a fabulous experience. The hostess was super friendly, the apartment fully equipped and the garden just magnificent… the Jacuzzi is the best part, of course.. we recommend to stay a couple of days 🙂

• Accoglienza impeccabile e location da sogno – Giulia from Italy – 6 July 2025 (10/10)

  Ci siamo trovati benissimo! La struttura è pulitissima e curata nei dettagli. L'accoglienza della padrona di casa è stata eccezionale: gentile, disponibile e attenta. Abbiamo molto apprezzato le merendine lasciate a disposizione per la colazione, un gesto davvero gradito. Il posto è incantevole, perfetto per rilassarsi. Consigliatissimo

  Идеальное место для отдыха в Тоскане. Никакие фото не смогут передать той идиллии, которая царит в этом месте. Идеальная чистота, супер расположение для поездок и спокойного отдыха в самих апартаментах. Нам повезло и мы были вообще одни, так что и тосканские закаты, и джакузи были в нашем полном распоряжении. Хозяйка приготовила нам огромную корзину всяких вкусностей, а в холодильнике были напитки и молоко. Но кроме этого там просто было все необходимое: кофе, специи, масло,,,,, даже рис и макароны. Ощущение, словно вы попали в ваш собственный загородный дом, в котором вы продумали все заранее. ОГРОМНОЕ СПОСИБО! за такую заботу. Это дорогого стоит. Рекомендую от всей души,
