Podere Vecciano

Monti, Esquilino & San Lorenzo


Selling produce from its Tuscan farm, this shop is a great place to pick up presents to take home. Choose from different varieties of pesto, honey and marmalade, selected wines, olive-oil-based cosmetics, olive oils and beautiful olive-wood chopping boards. There's even an olive tree growing in the middle of the shop.
