Our history

The history of Pietre Vive began in 2005, when Nicola and Alessandra Guerrini decided to purchase a real estate property in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, a few km from Siena, between Chianti and the Crete Senesi, with the intention of transforming it into family home. A place to raise their three children, Gioele, Gioia and Mattia, and live with their grandmother Luciana (Ciana).

They immediately worked to rebuild, keeping the original structure unchanged, what was apparently just a crumbling ruin, transforming the old building into something completely new and creating a welcoming and hospitable place.

And it is precisely on these two fundamental principles that their entire activity is based: family and change!

Started inside their own home, their business has developed over time in various directions: from the restaurant, which occupies the ground floor of the building and the large front lawn; the cooking classes that take place within the family kitchen; to truffle hunts, organized with expert truffle hunters and their dogs in the nearby property groves.

Year after year, Le Pietre Vive it has become an increasingly comfortable place, where people can feel more like welcome guests than customers, and where, above all, everyone can feel truly welcomed and part of the community.

The word that accompanies the work of the Guerrini family, from the beginning, is in fact: "Do not forget hospitality, because some, practicing it, have hosted angels without knowing it" (Hebrews 13,2)

Today, with the participation of their children, in a great team effort, Nicola and Alessandra try to keep up with the changes and improve every aspect of the services offered, believing strongly in the possibility of always reaching new goals. Helped in all this by the conscious choice of a very young staff, with fresh, enthusiastic personalities and a great desire to learn and grow.

A team that creates relationships and is actually a bit like a big family!

All together Nicola, Alessandra, Gioele, Gioia, Mattia, grandmother Ciana and their precious collaborators are le Pietre Vive of this building and work continuously and hard to improve the company and the services offered, doing their utmost so that guests can truly reap and appreciate the fruits... and live much more than an experience in the area, but a real growth in the family !
