The Dopolavoro La Foce was built in 1939 as a meeting place for the workers on the La Foce estate. Country dances and plays featuring the farmers’ children were held on the little stage, movies and news of the war were screened and people came from miles around to share a glass of wine and play a game of bocce (bowls) in the shade of the lime trees.
Today the Dopolavoro is managed by the Vannuccini family and reopens as a restaurant and bar offering traditional Tuscan dishes with a modern touch, based on high quality ingredients and mostly farm-to-table.
A path connects the vegetable garden to the famous La Foce gardens, which can be visited on Wednesdays and suynday (info and reservations www.lafoce.com).
