Lucignano is a small medieval village in Valdichiana and the sanctuary is a tree, commonly known as the Golden Tree or The Love Tree. It is a golden artwork and it is kept in a large glass case in the museum in Lucignano. According to an ancient tradition, this tree brings happiness to people in love and it's a custom that a bride and groom promise each other eternal fidelity and love at this golden tree.
All you can see in the Agriturismo is the result of the work of the Sacchi's family. We have started the activity some years ago, always maintaining the same ideas and methods.
In our Agriturismo you have the opportunity to taste our products, to know the original savours of Tuscany.

THE HONEY

We directly produce the honey you find at the Agriturismo, without addition of preservatives, flavorings or coloring. It smells of different flowers in the several varieties, depending on the fields where we put the beehives and the period of the year. In our garden, they are surrounded by the vineyard and the orchard.

You cannot miss taking the opportunity to try the match between honey and Tuscan cheese, with the honey complementing the salty nature of cheese, one of the best specialty of our region. You can have it served as tasting in the Agriturismo.
