Otium & Family Vacation in Tuscany / Italy
Family vacation in Tuscany is perhaps the ne plus ultra of Otium. Indeed, Otium is a time of creative leisure, where one focusses on the really essential things in life. Therefore, this means: Family first! Take time to creatively engage with your own partner or children. Enjoy your time at our holiday home with your family. After all, is there anything more valuable than the happy smile of your child?
Inspiration Tuscany
Are you an artist or a thinker? Then Agriturismo Podere Palazzone is the right place for you, being peacefully imbedded in wonderful rolling hills and a lovely Mediterranean climate. For example, many a guest takes advantage of the stay here in Tuscany to finally devote himself to his hobby studies. Many a guest uses the time here to finally devote himself to his hobby studies. In peace and quiet, one can delve into specialist topics or philosophise about “this and that”. Quite some scripts, audio books, papers, scientific treatises, diploma theses and school essays have been written, at least in part, at our place. We are happy to welcome musicians. Lingering by the poolside at night, guitar in hand, may also inspire you, too.
Tuscany is perfect also for inspiring painters. Photographers find the ideal setting to express themselves artistically. What are you looking for? Authentic Tuscany landscape, wild and at the same time gentle? Plays of light in the sunset or wafts of mist in the morning light? Or else, colour changes in grain fields, detailed studies of flora and fauna, ancient and medieval architecture? Let us know your preferences. Probably we can support you in finding the best motifs and spots.
At this point, we want to take the opportunity to say a big thank you to all our dear guests and friends, hobby photographers and retired professional photographers, equipped with drones and all kinds of photographic technology, who have contributed to the design of this website with their beautiful pictures.
Highly regarded by the Romans
Otium was already discussed in the earliest philosophical writings of the Romans. Here are a few interesting notes on that: The Romans understood Otium as a time of creative, hence active, leisure. Something like a creative break, during which you develop fresh ideas and come out full of vigour. This period of time-out enjoyed a very high level of social recognition among the Romans. Although, or, to be precise, because they were actually a busy, hard-working, tightly organized people, always striving for progress. In his “Otium-Ode”, Horace even praises Otium as “the only way that leads to happiness”, a time of inner peace that is used to “further develop one’s own wisdom and virtues”
