Castellare di Tonda - Italy

Heart of Tuscany Short Break B&B

5 star rating   8 October 2025

Sarah (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) We were given a special treat. When it became clear that our riding skills and courage were probably a bit greater than our other teammates, we were assigned our very own personal guide. This resulted in long, beautiful rides where it was actually just the two of us - a surprising luxury.
It was great to see horses that were well looked after, and that older horses were appreciated and still well taken care of. It was great that the staff knew each horse and their personalities.

How could we improve the quality of pre-holiday information that we send?

Nothing to comment - it was spot on.


Do you have any other feedback for us?

You can safely go in September and October - in fact, I would say that for a Dane, the temperatures are more comfortable - we don't think we could have endured riding in warmer weather.
