The Experience

Wind through olive groves and woods to reach this tiny hamlet, a rambling medieval Borgo on many levels, whose nucleus is a castle around which workers’ cottages have evolved. Leave the car outside the walls and enter another world; the Liscis may own 15 hectares of vineyards and produce a number of important red wines but no-one is in a hurry here.

The apartments will charm: large fireplaces, vaulted ceilings, terracotta floors with modern kitchens and bathrooms. This is a ‘living’ Borgo with 32 permanent residents and also a zero carbon space with a state of the art Bio-Energy methane production facility – one of the first in Italy.

Views are delightful, you can cool off in the pool or find a shady spot in the gardens with a book. The restaurant in the village serves traditional Tuscan dishes; pasta, bread and desserts are homemade and the kitchen produces genuine, seasonal and local dishes, sometimes with a modern twist.

Reviews

Il Quercetto is imbued with the essence of pure Toscana: inspiring vistas on all sides of golden rolling hills with olive groves, vine yards, forested hill tops with the occasional settlements and farmhouses punctuating the blissful scene. The location is like a movie set, but better because it is real and true. One can feel its deep history in the stones and the bricks, yet is fully alive and vibrant. The accommodation is composed of elegant, spacious and tastefully appointed apartments with a host of original features. If you're looking to truly unwind this is the place for you.

Colin, Sawday's Inspector

Querceto is a dream location in the heart of the tuscan hills. A truly special place to stay. Accommodation is lovely, very comfortable. Staff genuinely friendly and helpful. The on-site restaurant serves delicious and well priced food. Stunning views at every turn. If you’re looking for a real tuscan switch off you couldn’t find a better place.

Location

The neighbourhood

Take a tour of the village to taste their own olive oil and wines, both red and white, and to learn a little more about the history. In the Borgo you'll find a small shop which sells basics and there is a 'man in a van' who delivers food twice a week during the season. Eat either in the Borgo, a Tuscan style menu, or in the village of Ponteginori, 7kms. Marina di Cecina and the coast are 20kms.

Local points of interest from Cristina Sannazzaro

  • Querceto is the perfect place for nature lovers and for those who are interested in visiting famous Tuscan cities and towns such as Pisa, Florence, Siena, Volterra, San Gimignano, Bolgheri and other charming villages of the Val di Cecina.
  • For those who love the sea, the beaches of Cecina and Bibbona are only 25 minutes away.
  • In summer towns around Querceto hold various festivals and events; moreover a varied program of art exhibitions, concerts, shows and cultural courses are organized at Querceto by our family and by Accademia Libera & Natura.
  • Querceto is also the heart of the vineyard of our family. Our guests will be conducted in a short and pleasant walk along the hamlet discovering the history of the castle and visiting the places where the wine production takes place.
