Company information

Hello, I'm Tom, and I'm the owner of the "Le Balze" farm in Fontisterni, in the Valdarno area, 20 minutes from Florence, where I also produce olive oil. Hosting guests is a wonderful experience for me because I enjoy socialising - while, of course, respecting their privacy - and I also love introducing them to regional dishes I prepare as an amateur chef but with a lot of passion.g
