About Bonovivo

Our passion for Tuscany

Wilfred and José have shared their love for Tuscany with their guests for years.
How it started

We fell in love
with Italy in 2009

We ourselves love the culture, tranquility, gastronomy and hospitality of Italy, and Tuscany in particular. That’s why we decided to buy our own home here in 2009. Together with two other Dutch and Belgian owners, we found a wonderful spot in Garetto Basso.

Here, in an old converted farmhouse, there are now three holiday homes. We love sharing our passion for Italy and that’s why you can spend your holiday in one of our homes.

Why Valdera Tuscany?

Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, the Valdera and Coline di Pisane remain on of the regio’s best kept secrets. Here you ‘ll find the authentic Tyscany, rolling hills, vineyards, olive groves, charming hilltop villagges and a slower pace of life, far from the crowds. Unlike the more famous Chianti area, the Valdera offers a peaceful and genuine experience where local traditions are still very much alive. It is a place where you can wander through medieval villages, enjoy breathtaking scenery and discover family-run wineries and restaurants that have welcomed guests for generations.

  • Wine & Olive oil

    The Colline Pisane; Small, independent wineries combine traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques, creating excellent wines. The region is equally renowned for its extra virgin olive oil, produced from centuries-old olive trees using traditional methods.

  • Nature & Tranquility

    Rolling hills, ancient olive groves and winding cypress-lined roads define the landscape of the Valdera. Far from the crowds, this unspoilt corner of Tuscany offers breathtaking views, peaceful walking trails and the soothing silence of the countryside. 

  • Culture & History

     Discover medieval villages, historic churches and picturesque piazzas where local traditions have been preserved for centuries. Explore nearby gems such as Chianni, Volterra, San Gimignano, Peccioli and Lajatico, or take a day trip to Florence, Siena, Pisa or Lucca.
