Horseback rides in the countryside

Home » Horse Riding » Horseback rides in the countryside

Horseback rides in the countryside take you along a beautiful route of white roads through the gentle hills of Volterra, even during the evocative sunset hour on cool summer evenings.

During the lesson and the ride, you will interact with our expert instructors (qualified FISE instructors of the second level), who will safely guide you and share with you, in Italian and English, interesting facts and anecdotes about the world of horse riding. The riding style is English. For the safety of your family, children under 14 years old are not allowed to ride outside the arena.

Upon arrival at our stable, you will be greeted by your instructor who will provide you with a safety helmet and basic information for saddling the horse and the type of riding. During the evaluation lesson, you will learn how to hold the reins and understand the horse’s behavior outside the arena. The ride begins among the gentle hills surrounding Volterra and continues along the shores of Lake Gattero. Let yourself be amazed by the unforgettable landscapes that only the heart of Tuscany can offer.

At the end of your ride, you can reach our restaurant “La Cantina” just a few steps away and savor the true Tuscan taste in an imaginative PICNIC by the lake, discover its “luxury” version in our fragrant lemon house, sip a glass of wine in a tasting or enjoy the dishes of our tradition on one of our panoramic terraces.

This experience is subject to favorable weather conditions and the accessibility of the terrain.

Bellissima esperienza… Airin, la ragazza della scuderia, davvero un amore, super professionale e durante la passeggiata a cavallo ci ha davvero fatti stare bene❤️ una favola!Ps. Una tettoietta per i cavalli accanto alle tende non sarebbe una brutta idea, li riparerebbe dal sole e dalla pioggia

Response from the owner: Ciao Camilla,grazie per le belle parole ed i preziosi consigli!Ci auguriamo che torniate presto a trovarci per godere pienamente di tutte le bellezze che la nostra struttura e la natura circostante possono offrirvi!Un abbraccio da tutti noi!🤗

We had a super nice horseback ride through the Tuscan countryside. Aerin did a lovely job, comforting my daughter, who was a bit scared at first. We all enjoyed it very much as you definitely can absorb the environment much better when you are riding a horse. An experience you shouldn’t miss!!!

Response from the owner: Dear Mia,thank you for your enthusiastic words!Staying at our Agriturismo you will have the opportunity to enjoy nature at its best and the horseback riding activity is one of the most suitable for children, because our animals are so sweet that they will certainly fall in love with them!We will wait for you again in the future for new exciting ridings!Warm greetings from Tuscany! 🌞

One of the best cooking class experiences. Our Chef Maurizio was so professionally experienced in being greatly detailed with every step of showing us how to make pasta. An experience I will never forget. Had a fabulous time and now I will definitely be making my own pasta. Maurizio was outstanding, friendly and so pleasant to understand and listen too. Wonderful experience to cherish. Thank you Maurizio and to your wonderful Indian gentleman assistant. We will definitely be back to learn more. Grazie.

Response from the owner: Dear Trish,thank you for your kind words! Maurizio and Amir are a winning couple!They are professional and easy going. Everybody loves them!We hope that you will visit us again in the near future to enjoy new unique experiences!Warm greetings from Tuscany! ☀️

Wij waren met mijn schoonfamilie in de herfstvakantie een weekje in Toscane en daarbij mocht een pastaworkshop zeker niet ontbreken. Het was even zoeken om deze te vinden, maar we werden erg blij van de overzichtelijke site en het uitgebreide aanbod. Dus boekte we de pasta making workshop voor 10 personen incl. 2 kids van 9 en 11. Het was voor ons wel 1,5 uur rijden, maar het was een prachtige rit er naartoe. Daar aangekomen werden we vriendelijk ontvangen en overgedragen aan Ilenia die ons een duidelijke en uitgebreide uitleg gaf. Ze hielp iedereen waar nodig met veel geduld en beantwoorden al onze vragen. We moesten zelf het deeg maken en het daarna met de hand uitrollen totdat het doorschijnend was. Tussendoor werden we nog verwend met een verrukkelijke huisgemaakte Procecco. Vervolgens maakte we eerst een met ricotta gevulde ravioli, die later werd klaargemaakte in een heerlijke boter en salie saus. Daarna maakte we tagliatelle die een overheerlijke bolognesesaus kreeg en de restjes werden voorzien voor een lekkere tomatensaus. Die we daar in het restaurant lekker mochten oppeuzelen onder het genot van een heerlijk glaasje wijn.Het was echt een fantastische ervaring waar we met heel veel plezier op terugkijken en die onze reis extra speciaal heeft gemaakt. Bedankt hiervoor!Groetjes Familie Beekmans.

Response from the owner: We're thrilled to hear you had a fantastic time! There's nothing we love more than seeing our guests happy. We hope to see you again soon for another unforgettable adventure. Warm wishes from the Diacceroni team 🤗

All the staff were exceptionally kind and helpful. We particularly enjoyed our truffle hunting expedition with Elia and his wonderful dog. We would also highly recommend the pasta and lasagna class we had with Lucia.This is a wonderful country escape for everyone. Families, singles and couples. The classes were really educational and the teacher’s knowledgeable and passionate. This was very good value for money and we would highly recommend.

Response from the owner: What beautiful words! Our entire staff is passionate about what they do and always strives to share their knowledge and love for their work. We are thrilled that our guests can feel this passion. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Warm regards from the Diacceroni staff 🤗

Ms Q.

Unsere Woche auf dem Agriturismo Diacceroni hat uns sehr gefallen. Mit 3 Erwachsenen und 2 Teenagern hatten wir ein einfaches aber sehr schönes und passabel ausgestattetes Apartment, etwa 10 Autominuten entfernt. Besonders die Ausritte mit Airin und ihrem Team waren top – unkompliziert, motivierend und voller Energie hat Airin jedem von uns, ob jung oder alt, das Reiten zu einem einzigartigen Erlebnis gemacht. Und ein bisschen von der toskanischen Landschaft vom Pferderücken aus erleben zu können, war einfach unvergesslich!Auch der Pasta-Kurs war genial. Gemeinsam Teig kneten, Pasta formen und das Selbstgemachte genießen – das hat uns allen richtig Spaß gemacht!Insgesamt haben Massi und sein herzliches Team uns bestens versorgt. Es wurde an alles gedacht, sodass man sich gut aufgehoben fühlte und perfekt entspannen konnte.Danke für die wunderbare Woche – wir kommen sicher wieder!

Response from the owner: Dear Ms Queenbee,we are very happy that you enjoyed your stay at Diacceroni so much!We always do our best to make our guests feel at home here and it seems we succeeded in our goal!We will wait for you in the future for new exciting activities at Diacceroni!Big hugs from all of us!🤗

Wir haben tolle Herbstferien verbracht! Das Essen ist lecker, die Unterkünfte sind sehr sauber. Mit Airin konnten wir tolle Reitausflüge machen.

Tjasa S.

Wir hatten auf Agritourismo Diacceroni eine sehr schöne Zeit. Wir waren von Airin und ihrem Team, das sich dort um die Pferde kümmert sehr begeistert. Unsere Kinder konnten beim Pferdepflegen helfen und das Reiten näher kennenlernen. Für uns Erwachsene war es möglich die toskanische Landschaft beim Ausreiten zu erleben-dies war eine sehr tolle Erfahrung, die wir auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen. Neben den Pferden gab es vor Ort auch den Hund Gordon und 3 Kaninchen, welche für den zusätzlichen Kuschel-Spass sorgten. Mit dem Gordon durften die Kinder auch jederzeit unkompliziert spazieren gehen. Wir haben uns in die dortige Landschaft und Herzlichkeit der Menschen verliebt und hoffen, bald wieder kommen zu können.

Response from the owner: Dear Tjasa,thank you for your positive feedback!We are happy that you enjoyed your holiday in nature so much! Being in touch with our animals is always fulfilling and the beautiful scenery that our location offers complete an ideal holiday far from the chaos of big cities!We hope you will come back soon to Diacceroni for new enthralling adventures!Big hugs from all of us! 🤗

Bryan T.

Truffeljacht gedaan met aansluitend een borreltje en kleine hapjes met truffel.De gids was erg enthousiast en vertelde alles wat je wilt weten van truffels. Daarna met z'n allen plus de hond het bos in om truffels te zoeken. Hele leuke activiteit

Response from the owner: Dear Bryan,thank you for your enthusiasm! Elia and his dog always involve his guests in the hunts so that they fall in love with these experiences!We hope to have you again as our most welcome guests soon!Big hugs from all of us! 🤗

Alex was fantastic for the wine tasting! He is very knowledgeable and I gained a lot of insights. Diacceroni is absolutely the best place to stay. Beautiful scenery, fantastic restaurant, great activities and the staff is extremely friendly. They go above and beyond to be helpful.We attended the Pizza Making Class taught by Amir and it was excellent. Amir walked us step by step through making authentic Italian pizza. He carefully explained the ingredients and the process and we all were successful in creating our own pizza. He was loads of fun!Lucia taught a pasta making class and she was awesome. The class was large but she was highly organized and her demonstrations were very clear. Everyone had a wonderful time and we were all successful in the pasta making!

Response from the owner: Dear Cathy,thank you for your kind words! We are very happy that you enjoyed your holiday at Diacceroni so much! 😍We hope you will choose our Agriturismo again in the future for your next holidays!Big hugs from all of us! 🤗

Monica P.

Our party thoroughly enjoyed our wine tasting with dinner tonight. Alex was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. The food was so delicious and the wine was excellent. We had a fantastic evening all around.We also had a ton of fun at the pizza making class with Amir. Amir really broke down the process of making our own dough so that I feel like I might actually be able to make it at home. The entire class was very interesting and entertaining.

Response from the owner: Dear Monica,thank you for your kind words!It's been a real pleasure meeting you!We hope you will be able to come back soon to Diacceroni for new exciting experiences!Warm hugs from all of us! 🤗
