Hospitality at Il Cocco

Authentic Hospitality on an Organic Farmhouse



Immersed in the pristine nature of the Val d'Orcia, Podere il Cocco offers authentic, family-style hospitality that brings you back to the slow pace of the Tuscan countryside.
Since 1972, we have welcomed our guests with the same warm simplicity of the past, when farmers opened their doors to travelers on the Via Francigena.
Here, you won't find the anonymity of hotels: we will welcome you as friends, sharing with you the daily routine of life on a working organic farm.
In the morning, you can wake up to the sound of a rooster crowing and a breathtaking view of the Val d'Orcia, while in the evening, you can relax under the stars with a glass of our Brunello.
The Bindi family will guide you through the secrets of the vineyard, the cellar, and the woods, recommending the best local restaurants where you can enjoy authentic Tuscan cuisine, offering a slow and mindful tourism experience, far from the beaten track of mass tourism.

We value biodiversity

Regenerative Agriculture: Tradition and Innovation



At Podere il Cocco, we've been practicing regenerative agriculture since 2000, an approach that goes beyond simple organic farming to actively regenerate soil fertility and biodiversity.

Our philosophy combines the wisdom of ancient farming traditions with advanced innovative techniques: we use low doses of copper and sulfur, as our grandparents did, supplemented with effective microorganisms, volcanic zeolite, kaolin, wood vinegar, and propolis.

Every intervention is designed to strengthen the natural ecosystem, not replace it.

On our 6 hectares, we cultivate 3 hectares of Sangiovese vineyards for Brunello, olive groves of native varieties, permaculture gardens, and the Food Forest project, creating ecological corridors where bees, butterflies, wild birds, and small mammals coexist.
The spontaneous grass growth between the rows nourishes the soil, hosting hundreds of plant species, while minimal tillage preserves the soil's microbial life.
We have not used herbicides or synthetic fertilizers for over twenty years, practicing crop rotation and on-site composting.

This balance is reflected in our wines: authentic expressions of the terroir that reveal the complexity of a living ecosystem, where every element contributes to the final quality.
The goal is not to maximize production but to optimize quality, creating a self-sufficient company for future generations.
