The key to Tuscan culture no doubt lies in its sprawling, beautiful vineyards. Nestled in the tranquil rolling hills of the region, the Relais Pecora Vecchia is set on the immense Domaine of Colle Massari, famous for its wine cellars overflowing with ruby-red liquid treasures! Sip and savour your way through their wide selection, and taste Tuscan culture for yourself at this cosy abode.
The enchanting retreat’s wine tasting tour will take you on a multi-sensory journey; the first step to savouring this treasured tipple is delighting in the aromas released when the glass is swirled. Similarly, immense joy and a sense of rural relaxation can be gained from stopping to appreciate the fresh air and succulent smells coming from the luscious gardens, vast olive groves, and cypress trees that surround the property.
The second element to truly enjoying a great Tuscan wine is understanding the palate, and how the components of sweetness and acidity, texture and complexity come together in perfect harmony. The Relais Pecora Vecchia echoes this astute attention to detail, ensuring that each aspect combines to create a harmonious, serene ambience: the natural textures and warm atmosphere inside, paired with the sun-trap terrace and shimmering pool outside, exude rural tranquillity. In fact, there’s an ideal equilibrium between tradition and modernity, with an enchanting chapel and traditional restaurant juxtaposing a contemporary gym and rejuvenating spa.
The final component is the finish — a lasting sensation that indicates the quality of the experience. And, like a fine Tuscan wine, a stay at Relais Pecora Vecchia leaves an enduring impression of superior contentedness at one with nature.
