"Luxury class. Ambrosial Haven, alla Toscana."
by Brian A. Grow
The Wall Street Journal - November 15 - 17. 2002
"At l'Albero, a grand 200-year-old stone house on
a working farm, visitors can enjoy the land and be pampered
at the same time. 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. The south-facing Villa sits on an
isolated four-hectare estate overlooking the magnificent
Chianti countryside. The 375-square-meter farmhouse is
spacious yet cozy and can sleep up to 16 people - perfect
for a getaway with friends, or the family reunion. 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. The Villa has
seven bedrooms, several with four-poster beds and antique
dressers. It has a soothing living room with a giant Tuscan
fireplace and a sink-into-the-cushions sofa and armchairs.
The ground floor has big double doors with access to the
gardens that can be opened to fell the breeze. The dining
room seats 16 people for the feasts that are the most
dazzling part of any visit to Italy. Beyond the garden
is a 12 meter swimming pool. Guests can relax around the
pool, enjoying glasses of Chianti, or lounge on two panoramic
terraces built off the main house of l'Albero. Dinner
can be served by the pool or on the terraces. 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. Almost every meal is served with olive oils straight
from l'Albero's own groves. And much of the food and drink
is produced by other Italian farms. The surrounding region
offers dozens of wonderful wine-tasting tours at old Tuscan
vineyards, reached by narrow roads lined with 50-meter-tal
cedars. The renaissance beauty of Florence is just a 30-minute
drive, and day trips to other towns such as Siena and
Lucca are an easy jaunt.
The best time of the year to enjoy Tuscany and l'Albero
is summer, so you'll want to book far in advance. That's
when the weather is warm and the pool will beckon. High
season runs from June through September, but the Villa
can be rented year-round. Book l'Albero directly with
Mr. Lebreton by e-mail.
L'Albero is three kilometres from the Tuscan town of Montespertoli.
Siena is 30 kilometers to the south and Pisa is 50 kilometers
to the northwest.
