Horseback rides in the countryside take you along a beautiful route of white roads through the gentle hills of Volterra, even during the evocative sunset hour on cool summer evenings.

During the lesson and the ride, you will interact with our instructors, who will safely guide you and share with you, in Italian and English, interesting facts and anecdotes about the world of horse riding. The riding style is English. For the safety of your family, children under 14 years old are not allowed to ride outside the arena.

Upon arrival at our stable, you will be greeted by your instructor who will provide you with a safety helmet and basic information for saddling the horse and the type of riding. During the evaluation lesson, you will learn how to hold the reins and understand the horse’s behavior outside the arena. The ride begins among the gentle hills surrounding Volterra and continues along the shores of Lake Gattero. Let yourself be amazed by the unforgettable landscapes that only the heart of Tuscany can offer.

At the end of your ride, you can reach our restaurant “La Cantina” just a few steps away and savor the true Tuscan taste in an imaginative PICNIC by the lake, discover its “luxury” version in our fragrant lemon house, sip a glass of wine in a tasting or enjoy the dishes of our tradition on one of our panoramic terraces.

This experience is subject to favorable weather conditions and terrain suitability.
Our horses are not suitable for weights over 90 kg.
It is possible to go out on walks in groups of up to 4 people at a time. Larger groups may be split up.

Great experience for adults and kids alike. W did pasta, pizza and gnocchi class. The instructors (kudos to Lucia) are lovely, careful to explain everything step by step. The class is followed by a feast at the restaurant where participants can try what they have cooked - more food is served than anyone could it consume. We also did truffle hunting experience and it was super fun and informative. We loved Nura the dog and the truffle hunter Elia was very friendly and shared a lot of stories.

Bellissimo! Baiocco e Rica 🐎 sono due cavalli stupendi, e guidate da Mattia, caloroso e accogliente, abbiamo fatto una bellissima passeggiata sui colli intorno all'agriturismo! Prima esperienza per la mia amica, che ne è stata particolarmente contenta (quindi grazie, perché era il suo regalo di compleanno!!) Ci siamo fermate a mangiare al ristorante prima di ripartire, delizioso!

Unforgettable Gluten-Free Pasta Making Experience! ​ ​We had an absolute blast at this gluten-free pasta-making class! ​Our instructor, Rita, was simply fantastic. She explained every step of the process so clearly, making what could be a tricky task feel easy and fun. Beyond being an excellent teacher, Rita is super kind, warm, and created such a lovely, welcoming atmosphere. ​The location itself was breathtaking—the perfect setting for a cozy culinary experience. To top it all off, eating our own delicious, homemade gluten-free pasta at the end was the ultimate reward! ​If you are looking for a fun, warm, and delicious cooking class, I can't recommend this enough. Thank you, Rita! 🍝✨

Today my wife and I went truffle hunting with Elia. We really enjoyed our time searching and finding three truffles! Elia gave a lot of explanation and some very nice anecdotes. Afterwards, we enjoyed an exceptional lunch with our truffles and Diacceroni wines. The whole experience was excellent and we can't find anything to improve. Thank you!

We did a 1 hr session with a 30 minute beginner setup class to start and we loved this so much. Marzia and Mattia (our guides) were wonderful, so friendly and very clearly had a lot of love for all the horses under their care. Baiocco and Rica (our horses) were gorgeous and were very welcoming to two people very much figuring it out as we went! I'd recommend this experience to anybody - the horses were calm, our instructors were fun, and the Tuscan countryside was absolutely beautiful.

Our truffle hunt with Elia and his dog, Nura, was one of the highlights of our trip to Tuscany. Nura was incredibly cute and clearly loved searching for truffles—it was a joy to watch her work. We were lucky enough to find several truffles, including one impressively large one (photo attached!). What made the experience truly special was Elia. He explained everything with genuine enthusiasm and made the tour both engaging and educational. We learned how truffles grow, the conditions they need, and how dogs are trained to find them. It was fascinating to gain so much insight into a tradition that is such an important part of the region. If you're visiting Diacceroni and are considering the truffle hunt, I highly recommend it. It's a fun, authentic, and memorable experience for anyone who enjoys nature, food, or learning something new.

We stayed at Diacceroni for 3 nights in one of their Glamping cabins. We had a wonderful time. We were a bit concerned going in since I had ready some lukewarm reviews of the glamping experience, but everything turned out great. For example, some of the reviews complained that the walls of the glamping tent made a lot of noise during storms. I'm not sure what these reviewers were expecting--you're staying in a tent-like structure after all! The accommodations were great for our family of 5. Rustic and comfortable at the same time. The meals at the Diacceroni restaurant were wonderful and hanging out at the pool was exactly what we needed after nearly 2 weeks of making our way through various Italian cities. The views are spectacular and the people are always friendly. Definitely would recommend!

We joined the Diacceroni truffle hunting experience, and it turned out to be something really special for us. The guide was super nice, friendly, and genuinely informative — we actually learnt a lot about truffle hunting and how the whole process works. The truffle dog, Nora (hope I get the name right 😂) was ridiculously cute, though we all were a bit tiring as we were running around the mountain following the dog, that made the experience even more memorable. We were so happy that we managed to find five truffle pieces during the morning session. The kids loved it too — they got excited every time the dog started digging. After the hunt, we had a light lunch where they cooked the truffle we just found. Eating freshly picked truffle right after the experience made the whole thing feel even more special — simple food, but unforgettable. It was fun, unique, and something we’re really glad we tried. A special experience for the whole family!

Abbiamo fatto una cavalcata a fine serata ed è stato stupendo. Posti meravigliosi, luce bellissima e Mattia l'istruttore è stato veramente eccezionale. Grande professionalità e bella compagnia. Le nostre cavalle Pesca e Bully sono state bravissime, dolci e tranquille. Sicuramente torneremo per un'altra esperienza.

We had a twelve day stay here at this beautiful property! There is plenty of room to spread out and feel private and yet you had have access to amazing amenities and experiences. The pools were so very pretty and the rooms have authentic rustic Italian architecture. Aurora and Donnatella our cooking class instructors were skilled and charming. We prepared a wild boar stew and then ate the stew later that evening at the restaurant which has stunning views. The chef and kitchen staff as a whole were very skilled at serving and accommodating when considering food preferences and food allergies. The property and region had many English speakers so navigating new experiences was fairly easy. This was my first european trip and “farm-stay” experience and it will definitely not be my last.

We had a wonderful experience at Diacceroni Farms in Tuscany. Our kids (ages 10 and 6) absolutely loved the family pony experience—it was one of the highlights of our trip. A special thanks to the horse trainers, Syria and Ginevra, who made the session truly memorable. They were patient, engaging, and made the experience interactive and fun for the kids. Their warmth and enthusiasm really stood out and helped create lasting memories for our family. Highly recommend this experience for families visiting Tuscany!

Abbiamo scelto Agriturismo Diacceroni per l’addio al nubilato di mia cugina e non potevamo fare scelta migliore! La location è semplicemente meravigliosa: immersa nelle splendide colline toscane, con un’atmosfera rilassante e autentica che ha reso la giornata davvero speciale. Abbiamo partecipato a una cooking class durante la quale abbiamo preparato pappardelle, tagliatelle e altre specialità tipiche. Un ringraziamento speciale va a Ilenia, che è stata fantastica: ci ha spiegato ogni passaggio con grande pazienza, professionalità e simpatia, nonostante alcune di noi fossero decisamente poco esperte in cucina! È stata inoltre molto attenta alle allergie alimentari e alle esigenze di tutte le partecipanti, facendoci sentire accolte e a nostro agio. La giornata si è conclusa nel migliore dei modi con una deliziosa cena a base di tutto ciò che avevamo preparato, accompagnata da vino, acqua e un ottimo dolce finale. Consiglio assolutamente questa esperienza a future spose, damigelle e a chiunque stia organizzando un addio al nubilato diverso dal solito, divertente e immerso nella bellezza della Toscana. Un ricordo che porteremo tutte nel cuore!

We had such a fabulous afternooon making Pizzas with Amir! My daughters aged 5 & 8 loved it, he shows how to do everything step by step, helping out the little ones if they need it (and the big ones too!) He makes foccia, garlic bread and an amazing tomato-less pizza for you to try while waiting for everyone to make there's, adults at this point get a lovely glass of local bubbles!! Once your pizzas are cooked, you head to the restaurant to eat them with a gorgeous view of the rolling Tuscan hills, drinks are included in the price and if you have room for dessert that's included too! The giant profiterole went down a treat with everyone! The team couldn't have been more attentive if they tried, a memory we will look back on fondly for years to come! Plus you get to take home your aprons too as a keepsake 😃
