Pratello Country Resort is a charm hotel right in the center of Tuscany, located in Peccioli, just a few km from San Gimignano and Volterra.
The moment we enter Pratello there’s feeling that we just left the world as we know it and get into a parallel universe, much more pleasant and with infinite beauty. We are suddenly fulfilled by an uncontainable will to lose ourselves in the gardens, to discover every corner of charm and romance and to stay in this fairy tale forever.
The property consists of 320 hectares of olive groves, cultivable soils and woods. As walking around the property of Pratello we have the privilege to observe wild animals, such as boars, deer and several bird species, the reason why this place has always been a hunting area.
Pratello has its origin in an old farm, belonging Mastiani-Brunacci , a rich family from Pisa, from the XV century. Over the years it passed by the hands of different owners until 1987, when it was bought by the current owners, the Rosati family.
Not retaining much of the original architecture, there is something that refers to the first owners, the Family Coat of Arms which is above the entrance of the main building.
Ahead we find the marvelous Italian garden; restored during the 90s, here we can quietly pause time and admire the nature in a way sublimely created by the corners of this garden.
This hotel is constituted by 10 deluxe bedrooms, 2 suites and 3 family apartments, each one of them offering all the convenience and technology needed to assure the maximum comfort to our stay, based on a decoration that combines classic elements with the simplicity of the countryside.
All the property containing the hotel is lovely by itself, presenting a labyrinth of gardens where the only desire in us is to discover all its pleasantness and explore everything around us.
At the entrance we find a small but very beautiful church: Sant’Anna.
One of the more interesting nooks to refer is the “green room”, a place in the garden, in the back of the main building, constituted by oaks, limited in a circular shape, with a path that crosses it from one end to the other and in the middle, a space to sit down and enjoy a moment alone with nature.
At Pratello we can profit from a variety of activities inside the property, such as tennis, bike riding, enjoying the marvelous swimming pool and the panoramic view it provides or, even more amazing, make a helicopter sightseeing trip and fly over the beautiful Tuscany; Outside the property we may enjoy the golf courses and the hot springs, which are both located in the vicinity and in which the hotel guests have a discount.
Either the arrival to Pratello or the farewell is memorable because the path conceives a glimpse of the typical beauty of Tuscany, a narrow street with huge cypresses lined on both sides!
