Agriturismo La Miniera is located in mining complex Ravi Marchi, now part of the Mining Park of Gavorrano, which takes its name. All the farm buildings were used for mining, as you can see from the materials used, and still visible after the restoration work. Especially the main house, called Director’s House, was the residence of the mine manager. Other apartments have been created by the Guardian’s Cottage, from Grocery, where food was distributed, and from the House of Apples. The cottages was rebuilt and some was moved to a recovery plan. The mining area was purchased in 90’s by Baragiola Family, who bought it from the Montecatini Company, and has renovated the cottages using the mining building materials. Currently Agriturismo La Miniera consists of a main body, with the old Director’s House, and two annexes, obtained by recovery and fusion of Guardian’s Cottage and old Grocery. Furthermore, in the farm you can find Vigne House, a decentralized structure located at 2 km away from the main complex. Vigne House takes its name from the soil in which it stands, where the field has been planted with vines since ancient times
More fascinating is the garden in front of Director’s House, with its panoramic position, characterized by a series of century-old plants, such as high and mighty cedar, laurel, apple, old oaks and acacias. This place is great as a place for reading and relaxing, and maintains a special charm, because of the pleasant breeze blowing daily and quietness of these fields. The philosophy of the farm is respect for the ecosystem and sustainability. All the 'area was recently reclaimed and returned to productive land. We are committed to organic agriculture and all our products are organic: olive oil, chestnuts and vegetables. We do not use chemical pesticides or herbicides. The rugged terrain, where we find the chestnut trees are clean through the grazing animals. In the farm there are some typical Maremma species, as the Cinta Senese pig, the Maremma cow, and some goats, especially beloved by children who visit us. Moreover we produce by ourselves and in a full ecological way all the energy we need: electricity is produced by photovoltaic panels and hot water with solar panels. In some cottages there is the fireplace, using local wood to produce heat.
L'agriturismo dispone di una sala attrezzata per feste e party, ottima per gruppi, che affitta anche agli ospiti esterni per uno o più giorni.
