Villa Preselle

Villa Preselle: Maremmana Cuisine between Land and Sea

Here, you are in a stone villa, in the heart of the Scansano hills, surrounded by 15 hectares of private olive groves. This is not a village trattoria, it is an address that relies on a rural, romantic and peaceful setting, far from the hustle and bustle, with a breathtaking view over the Maremma.

What you really eat here

The cuisine of Villa Preselle, under the direction of chef Umberto Vinzio, is an exploration of local and seasonal products. You will find proposals such as the Polpo di scoglio, datterini, olive taggiasche, patate, capperi e basilico, which shows a beautiful mastery of marine flavors. For meat lovers, the Carpaccio di chianina stracciatella di bufala e tartufo is a classic revisited with quality products. The house emphasizes high-quality products, and some customers even report that the olive oil used is produced on site, which is a guarantee of freshness and authenticity. Be careful, some feedback mentions a sometimes rich cuisine, with a marked use of fat or cream, which may not suit all palates.

The atmosphere is described as very pretty and the welcome attentive, which contributes to a pleasant experience. You are far from the hustle and bustle, it is a place to take your time and enjoy the landscape.
