Our story began in 1998, when my parents, Carlo and Paola, decided to buy a small ruin nestled in the countryside, surrounded by a beautiful estate. My brother Marco and I were still children, and that place was meant to be just a refuge to spend Sundays and allow my father, who never managed to stay still, to devote himself to the land. Over time, that dream started to take shape. In Sarticola, a lovely area within the municipality of Luni (then Ortonovo), the lands were gradually restored. The first bottles of olive oil were produced, farm animals were introduced, vineyards and a vegetable garden were established, along with the first products intended not only for our family but also for friends and local residents. This is how Azienda Agricola La Sarticola came into being. Our enthusiasm grew year after year, and in 2000, my parents decided to open a small agritourism business. The idea was simple: "at most a few tables and a couple of rooms for friends." But the project immediately won over everyone who visited. In the following years, we also became an educational farm, sharing with both adults and children a passion for nature, animals, and rural life. When it came time to envision my future, the choice was natural: to continue this family story, investing and looking ahead without losing our roots. With many sacrifices and the valuable support of the whole family, we expanded the farm, doubling the land and increasing production. In 2011, we renovated the agritourism, making it even more welcoming, comfortable, and functional. Our growth journey continued in 2025 with the addition of new rooms and the renovation of the company’s workshops: the winery, the honey production area, and the olive oil shop—spaces that reflect the work and passion we put into our products every day. Today, we welcome you with the same enthusiasm as before, in a warm family atmosphere where authenticity, hospitality, and love for the land remain our most important ingredients. We would be delighted to share with you our little corner of paradise.
