We'll definitely be back—thank you for this special time! 🌿🐴🍷"

"What a fantastic week! We had an incredibly wonderful time on the trail ride with Patrizia and Stefan. You can immediately feel how much love and experience the two bring to Casa Bivignano. The horses are well-balanced, superbly trained, and simply a joy. We spent every day out in the beautiful Tuscan countryside and stayed at various agriturismos – varied, relaxed, and simply dreamy. The food was incredible (plenty and delicious). An experience we won't soon forget. Thank you for the incredible time and for welcoming us like friends. ❤️"

"Dear Patricia and Steffi, I've been coming to your paradise in beautiful Tuscany at least twice a year for years now! I've been searching for a horse-riding resort where horseback riding is possible for a long time. I'm infinitely grateful to have found you and your wonderful, loyal horses. The most important thing for me was and is that the horses are the focus, and that the handling of these wonderful animals, as well as the care and rides, are species-appropriate, loving, and respectful. I was able to experience all of this and much MORE! with you. On trail rides, trail rides, power riding weeks, and yoga riding weeks, I've experienced your appreciative and loving approach to the horses. The horses achieve incredible feats and are all in top shape, reliable, and always full of joy and energy. You guide the rides with care and attention. All of this always makes for unforgettable experiences with the horses, in the saddle or, depending on the terrain, on foot. The older generation of horses are also allowed to stay with you on approximately 35 hectares of forest and pasture land with open stables, or they can retire with horse people who share the same philosophy. Your tireless commitment to the four-legged friends and your guests deserves the highest recognition, respect, and appreciation! A huge THANK YOU to you and all of you in Bivignano!! After Bivignano is before Bivignano. I'm already looking forward to seeing you again!"

"Unfortunately, I have to express some criticism and am somewhat surprised that there are no similar comments. The farm is truly beautiful, and the apartments are simple but good. Apart from the long gravel road, which takes 15 minutes to drive up and 15 minutes down, the area is quiet and beautiful, surrounded by dense forest. The steep and rocky paths, which practically only allow riding at a walking pace, are beautiful. In some places, the horses and mules have to climb quite a bit, which they handle very well. What struck us as very negative, however, was that even horses almost 30 years old are forced to gallop on steep scree, which in my opinion has nothing to do with animal welfare or respect, even though these horses are tough. For this reason, we stopped riding there and left."
