Riding Tuscany Ranch is the riding centre of Belmonte Vacanze Holiday Farm in Montaione just a few kilometres from both, San Gimignano and Volterra. The riding centre is managed by Benedetta, who has grown up to be a talented professional thanks to her love for horses and children, and her dedication to the profession and to the staff she manages. Here at Riding Tuscany Ranch the riding centre is surrounded by some 200 hectares of unspoilt Tuscan countryside where you can enjoy horse-back riding and trekking along the spectacular bridleways that criss-cross the fields of golden wheat around San Giminiano, and the picture-perfect olive groves.
Here our horses are treated like family members: come and meet them and find out which best suits your riding style, or even, ride a different horse each day. Of course, our four-legged family members are important to us: we will be happy to please you in any way provided you respect the nature and welfare of the horses.

Riding Tuscany - The team


The family of the Belmonte Vacanze farmhouse

The Lotti family owns the Belmonte Vacanze Organic Farm and has been passionately managing the structure since its opening in 2003. Lauro and parents Piero and Simona, together with their collaborators, are always present on the farm, always busy keeping the structure in perfect condition and satisfying the needs of our guests.
At the reception of the farmhouse you can ask for any information on horse riding activities, check availability and book horse rides or lessons for you and your family.
Whereas, at the stables, Benedetta and our docile horses will be waiting for you, ready to accompany you in discovering the beautiful Tuscan countryside.

Benedetta – She is the instructor who loves working with children

Benedetta is the equestrian guide of the Riding Tuscany Ranch.

Benedetta demonstrated her love for animals, nature and life in the open air from an early age.

She was still in primary school when she came into contact with the world of horses for the first time and from that moment she always knew that this would be her job, as well as her great passion.

She attended professional training courses, becoming an equestrian guide and SEF instructor for English riding, specialising in the discipline of show jumping.

Sweet with children and patient with beginners, Benedetta will be able to accompany you on an exciting and unforgettable horseback riding experience.
