Your Itinerary

Reggello

A pleasant transfer from central Florence takes you to our riding center located at about 30min on the Chianti hills. During the drive you will get some information on the territory and some explanation on what you will do during the whole experience. At the riding center's you will be paired with the best horse for you. After a few minutes for preparation and basic riding instructions in the open or the idoor arena your four-legged companion and an expert tutor will lead you on a pleasant ride on horseback across the typical Tuscan countryside, dotted with manicured vineyards and tranquil olive groves, far from the crowds of the City, during which you will be able to take pictures of you and around you.

Reggello

Next, your chauffeur-guide will drive you to one of Tuscany's most celebrated olive oil estates. Set in the upper Arno valley along the ancient Roman route between Florence and Arezzo, this imposing country manor of medieval origin is surrounded olive trees that have been caringly tended to for centuries. At the end of the visit of the manor and its historic olive oil cellars, a typical Tuscan meal with bruschettas, cheeses and savoury various local coldcuts provides the perfect opportunity to sample the cold-pressed, organic-certified extra-virgin oil and appreciate its intense perfume, fruity and rather peppery flavour by tasting it with the local bread, all washed by the estate's red Chianti wine. The olive oil, the red wine and organic honey are available for purchasing if you so wish. Your chauffer will pick you up at the manor's at about 2,30p.m to drive you back to Florence.

Great fun and educational! Met on time at convenient spot in downtown Florence and whisked away by private car to the horse farm. Informative host showed us sights along way and answered our myriad questions!! Mounts were well maintained and great. Ride thru beautiful country with experienced rider/leader. Informative and fun tour of olive farm including how the oil is made. Delicious Tuscan lunch with Chianti overlooking the farm and the Tuscan valley. Well worth it and great way to learn about and see the Tuscan countryside.

Me and my family had a amazing time horseback riding in the beautiful hills of Tuscany and was one of favorite things to do on our trip to Italy. Simona and all of the hosts were very nice and accommodating throughout the day. Highly recommended if you are looking to do something outside the city of Florence.

An excellent personalised tour from Simona which also included wine tasting. Everything went to plan and exceeded expectations. The riding was wonderful for both a novice and experienced rider. The horses seemed well looked after and matched the rider’s experience well. The wine and lunch tour was excellent and we were well looked after. Our personal driver Marco was on time and very friendly, even taking pictures of our ride. All in all a well organised and enjoyable day out.

My sister and I enjoyed a lovely day on the Tuscan countryside with Simona facilitating a wonderful and personal experience. Stefano guided us on our ride. It was very fun, beautiful, and safe at all times. Our olive oil tour, tasting, and lunch with a glass of local Chianti, completed the experience. Perfecto! It was wonderful to step away from the crowds and experience the beauty that surrounds Florence.

Fabulous way to spend half of the day, Simona and her team are wonderful hosts. Enjoyable for riders of any level. The olive tasting and lunch was a great way to end the visit. Additionally Simona provided many recommendations and advice for your other travels around Italy. All in all a great way to get out and see the country side!

This was amazing. My Wife and I did this tour in April. We decided to do the olive oil tour. We could not have been happier. This was a real highlight of our vacation, Castle FATTORIA I BONSI should not be missed!!!

The whole experience was fantastic! We had a lovely horseback ride through the countryside into the olive groves and vineyards with Giovanni. After, we met the amazing Giacomo who owns and runs the Castle Bonsi estate and had a fantastic meal with his olive oil and wine. We enjoyed the beautiful grounds and our new furry friend Kenny - the amazing best friend of Count Giacomo. 🐕 Through it all the wonderful Simona ensured our every step was perfect throughout the day. She was kind, fun and courteous in ensuring our expectations were met. She and Giacomo even procured my sunglasses I left and ensured I received them. Fantastic experience!

Simona was just amazing. It was my boyfriends birthday and she made it so special. We had a gorgeous time riding and then wine tasting. Simona is so informative and willing to share her knowledge with you. Thanks Emily

The horseback riding and olive oil tour was exactly what we were hoping for! Simona and Marco could not have been nicer, and they went above and beyond for us. The horses were well trained and the ride through the countryside was beautiful, it felt like it was something out of a movie. We also loved seeing the local olive oil factory and learning about the process. Lunch was delicious, and it was the perfect way to wrap up a great day. We would absolutely do one of these tours again the next time we’re in Italy!

To say my husband and I had an incredible experience with the horses and olive oil would be a complete understatement. Everything and everyone was absolutely amazing. The ride to and from Florence to the horses and the castle was not only easy and comfortable but very informative and fun due to the amazing hosts , Simona and Marco. Their horses are beautiful and extremely well trained, my husband and I will definitely be going back for a longer ride next time. The castle with the olive oil and lunch was out of this world and something my husband and I will never ever forget. Finding out that you can stay at the castle was a wonderful surprise and my husband plan on doing just that on our next trip to Florence . Could not recommend this activity enough !
