”...home is not only a geographical place...” It is with this spirit that in 1994 the hotel La Porcinaia was born. Completely run by the family, this is a small, charming hotel with only 14 rooms decorated each in its own way in the typical Tuscan style: wrought-iron beds, grandmother-style bedside tables and valuable carvings. Of course, the love of tradition can’t let us refuse modern comfort so each room also has cable TV, a safe, a mini bar and a hair dryer. Of these 14 rooms, 11 are located in the main structure, some having a terrace with a table and chairs where a breathtaking view of our mountains can be seen. The other three rooms are located in the annexe, otherwise known as our ”uncle’s house” because before becoming a tourist lodging, it used to be our aunt and uncle’s home and even before, it had been ”the small workshop” which our grandfather had built 50 years ago to produce small jars of mushrooms in oil. When this building proved to be too small for the flourishing business, the large workshop was born (our present-day restaurant) where our grandfather cooked the mushrooms from our woods in large copper cauldrons which we still jealously preserve to this day. The mushrooms were cooked and put in oil in jars or were dried and then sent all over Italy. It’s now easy to understand the reason behind such an unusual name for a hotel... ”La Porcinaia” which in the typical Tuscan dialect means a precise place in the woods with an abundance of ”porcini” mushrooms and we never lack them!!
