Step into a different side of Tuscany with a visit to La Fattoria di Cammino, an “educational forest” and small mountain farm set in a panoramic spot on Alpe di Poti, just outside Arezzo. Over about 2 hours, you’ll slow down, meet the animals, and discover what daily life looks like in a small mountain community.

Begin at the meeting point and head into the farm’s outdoor spaces to meet a family of four donkeys. Learn about their rhythm, their habits, and how to approach them calmly—because (as the locals say) donkeys listen best when you whisper. You’ll also meet the farm’s free-range hens and roosters, visit the henhouse, and try your hand at searching for eggs.

This is more than an animal encounter. Your host shares stories about the farm, the surrounding mountains, and the people who lived here before, offering a simple, hands-on look at how different species can coexist with mutual respect. You’ll also get a glimpse of the “tiny house” lifestyle and what it means to care for a place where everything is connected—animals, people, and landscape.

Led in a friendly, interactive style, this visit is ideal for families and curious travelers who want a grounded, educational experience in nature—without traveling far from Arezzo.
