About the hotel

Located 35km north of Florence, this splendid Renaissance house enjoys a breathtaking hillside setting 450m above sea level, overlooking the Mugello valley and Chianti Rufina hills. Carefully restored using authentic materials, the hotel retains its original charm. Guest rooms, elegantly appointed with 19th-century light fittings, paintings, and prints, are situated within the main villa, the adjacent farmhouse, and the former dairy house, each offering stunning views of the surrounding parkland. Guests can enjoy an outdoor swimming pool, along with cookery and extra-virgin olive oil tasting courses. Driving from the north (Bologna/Milan), take the A1 Autostrada towards Bologna-Firenze.
