It is located 35 km North of Florence. It is a splendid renaissance house in a particularly beautiful position, set on a hillside at 450 m above sea level and facing across the Mugello valley and the Chianti Rufina hills. This fine hotel was carefully restored using authentic materials and maintaining the building's original appearance. It has guest rooms featuring 19th century light fittings, paintings and prints, which create a welcoming and elegant atmosphere. The bedrooms are located where they originally were: some in the villa itself, and others in the adjoining farmhouse or in the old dairy house opposite. They offer wonderful views of the surrounding parkland. There is outside swimming pool, cookery courses and extra-virgin olive oil tasting courses.
