Full description
There are all sorts of getaways. There’s the one from Monday morning traffic, the one from office deadlines, and then there’s your next romantic getaway to Santa Maria della Versa! Here, a special night awaits you in a cosy studio apartment overlooking the vineyards, where the only background noise will be the wind rustling through the vines.
To get things off to the best possible start, a welcome bottle of sparkling wine will be waiting for you in your room, perfect for an initial toast for two. You can then continue your exploration of the local area with a wine tasting at the Calatroni winery.
And speaking of getaways. .. we’ve also arranged a cycling trip – or rather, an e-bike ride – complete with a lavish picnic to enjoy amongst the hills of the Oltrepò Pavese with your loved one!
What we will do
Check-in is from 4 pm at the farmhouse in Santa Maria della Versa (PV). On arrival, you will be welcomed by the staff and shown to your accommodation, where a welcome bottle of sparkling wine will be waiting for you!
You will stay in a studio apartment with a double bed, located within a villa surrounded by vineyards. The room features air conditioning, a kitchen equipped with a fridge, minibar and hob, a private bathroom, a coffee machine and a kettle. Subject to availability, you will be allocated one of the units on the upper floor with a balcony and panoramic views of the vineyards, or on the ground floor with a small balcony.
The activities included in your stay are:
- a wine tasting with a tour of the Calatroni winery ( just a few hundred metres from the agriturismo) , including a tasting of 4 typical wines from the Oltrepò Pavese region (Metodo Classico, Bonarda, Riesling and Sangue di Giuda) , accompanied by local nibbles such as cold cuts, cheeses, vegetable flan and tart
- e-bike hire ( x 2) to explore the recommended routes at your own pace, including a picnic basket with meat, vegetable and cheese sandwiches, fruit tart, water and a bottle of wine.
