Tenuta di Castelfalfi: Hunting Reserve
The hunting reserve covers approximately 600 hectares, 250 of which are fenced in for hunting ungulates, and 350 for hunting non-migratory game and ducks.
Located in the hills of central Tuscany in an uncontaminated environment, rich in history, art and culture, the Azienda Agrituristico Venatoria (hunting reserve) of Castelfalfi offers a real challenge for hunters who can test their skills in an extremely diversified territory where the game is "flushed out" with excellent flaying devices and is certainly not an easy kill. We also have areas for training pointing dogs and two enclosures for training wild boar hounds.
The Agrituristico Venatoria of Castelfalfi has enclosures for hunting ungulates with a total surface area of 250 hectares.
The typically hilly environment, with Turkey oak and Holm oak forests interspersed with open meadows and grazing lands, helps make the anticipation of hunting even more exciting.
Wild boar hunting excursions are carried out from September to mid-March inside two hunting enclosures. There is a fenced off area of 10 hectares, ideal for small hunting excursions – with a minimum of 5 and maximum of 13 participants – and a 60-hectare area for larger hunts – with a minimum of 17 and maximum of 30 participants – where it is possible to run whole packs of dogs thanks to the wide expanses and environmental diversification of the enclosure.
Moreover, inside a 100-hectare enclosure it is possible to hunt ungulates from elevated blinds or by stalking, thus offering more experienced hunters the chance to test their skills with shots from up to 300 metres away.
In order to meet our clients' demands, we also organise personalised hunts in line with the requirements of the individual groups.
Permanet game
Hunting of permanent game (pheasants, partridge, red partridge and quail) is carried out over a surface area of 350 hectares divided into five different zones.
The large areas enable hunters to exploit their own hunting zone in a relaxed manner. Hunting of non-migratory fauna (pheasants, partridges and quail) is carried out over a surface area of 350 hectares divided into 5 different zones and thanks to the presence of two magnificent lakes inside the reserve duck hunting can also be organised. The large areas enable hunters to exploit their own hunting zone in a relaxed manner. The presence of at least three hunters is obligatory in each hunting zone with the introduction of three animals a head.
The reserve now has an enchanted spot where you can breathe in the charm of the past and where nature and traditions have remained intact over the years. Casale Falecine is a splendid hunting lodge for use by hunters who can have lunch and rest there after the hunt.
Dog Training Area
At the end of the hunting season it is also possible to hunt with pointing dogs inside the dog training area.
In fact, we have areas set up for training pointing dogs (with or without shooting) as well as the two following enclosures for training wild boar hounds: a large 60-hectare enclosure where six hounds can enter at a time; a smaller 10-hectare enclosure in which a maximum of three hounds are admitted at a time.
Upon request, the Azienda Agrituristico Venatoria of Castelfalfi is also able to provide guests with the services of qualified trainers registered with the ENCI (Italian Kennel Club) who can offer advice and correct small defects, as well as carry out real training.
