Welcome !

from Lynn and Nino Rodolico

I am Lynn Rodolico and my husband's family has owned Villa L'Arrigo for generations. We live on the property and we take pride in producing the champagne of extra virgin olive oil, the best Tuscany has to offer.
We are happy to welcome you into our home to share the extraordinary experience of Tuscan country living. We will share with you an insider's view of Tuscany : direct you to our favorite out-of-the-way restaurants, explain how to avoid the crowds in San Gimignano, present you to our favorite masseuse who will come to L'Arrigo to kneed away winter's aches and tensions. Need a hairdresser? I'll be happy to introduce you to mine, Francesco.
If you'd like to join us for a day of work in the olive groves, we'll provide the boots.
Or if you'd prefer the less rigorous job of tasting diverse olive oils and wines, we will invite you for a drink or direct you to neighboring wineries.
It is our pleasure to acquaint our guests with the untold secrets and treasures of Tuscany.
If you would like to stay at Villa L'Arrigo, e-mail the dates you would prefer and we will make the reservation for you.
