This little break was a dream come true. Everything right from the word go fell into place. The house was just what we hoped it would be; a home from home. Jenny, the owner, and her team were so welcoming and great company. We came for the riding, we enjoyed the lovely tuscan countryside and found good cared-for horses which... More

Upside: There is a good selection of horses. This is a good place to bring a stong beginner or immediate so that they get some time in the saddle. Jenny has some lovely people working in her yard and they really make the place. Her horses are much loved. She also will teach you the basics of Italian which is... More

My friend and I just came back to the states after an equestrian vacation at Rendola Riding "Discover Tuscany" via Equitrekking. I am still smiling from ear to ear, If you want to see the Tuscan country and you love to ride...this is the way to do it. The owner (Jenny) is a gem like no other. She has incredible... More

This is a wonderful vacation in a cozy farm house. It was clean and welcoming. However, it is worth mentioning that no hotel in Italy seems to have screens in the windows so there are flies and mosquitoes if you leave your windows open. We were served traditional Italian meals and had plenty. It was so good that I bought... More

The horses are lovely and the rides are wonderful across the beautiful countryside. Jenny is very entertaining and provides you with a lot of interesting information. You need to be aware that the horses and riding are the priority here. The rooms could do with a bit of a hoover. There were a lot of cob webs and a few... More

Withing 10 minutes of being there we managed to kill HUGE spiders. The stench of urine coming from the bathroom was incredible. The room had a musty old smell. I don't remember the food being that great, and certainly don't remember, course after course being passed around..??? Mhhhhh. I do remember; flys all around the food, overly slated food, urine...

We spent an incredible week seeing Tuscany from the backs of our wonderful horses at Rendola Riding Center in Montevarchi. Jenny Bawtree and her staff showed us hidden trails that they knew like the backs of their hands. We cantered through vineyards, trotted past villas and soaked up scenery galore, all while learning about the history and culture of the... More

I spent multiple weekends at Rendola while studying abroad in florence. It's not a hilton and it's not meant to be, it's for people who like to ride and who want to experience an Italian farm, AMAZING FOOD, and the true spirit of the tuscan country side. It's absolutely beautiful and let me tell you, riding through the tuscan hillside... More

This is a wonderful place for a horseback riding holiday, even in September when bugs are, unfortunately, plentiful. Owner/hostess Jenny Bawtree is a no-nonsense Englishwoman and her operation is a well-run ship indeed. Activities are carefully planned and start punctually. The horses are sweet-natured, beautifully trained and well cared for. The farmhouse in which she lives and her guests stay... More
