Luxury Renaissance Estate in the Florentine Countryside, Tuscany, Italy

Located in the lavish Florentine countryside just 15 minutes from the centre of Florence, this property is a private Renaissance hamlet offering an exclusive combination of elegant accommodation, exceptional comfort and warm bespoke hospitality.

Once a country residence of painters in the 15th century, the property has been skillfully restored into a luxury villa retreat with five prestigious villas and one suite nestled in a beautiful park. It is an extraordinary place where the charm and art of the past meet contemporary comfort to create a unique blend. Within the vast park, the accommodations enjoy private outdoor gardens, a large panoramic pool, a refined wellness centre, dedicated event areas, a guest-only restaurant and an organic vegetable patch with seasonal produce. The highlight of the hamlet is the chapel decorated with original frescoes.

The breathtaking landscape, the refined design of the Renaissance accommodation and the curated guest experiences come together with the natural beauty of the setting to create a unique and private environment for exclusive use.

LOCATION

Nestled in the gentle hills surrounding Florence, the estate enjoys a privileged position for exploring Tuscany’s most charming villages and historic cities. From this unique vantage point, guests can admire the skyline of Florence, including the iconic Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and Brunelleschi’s famed dome, as well as the serene monastery of the Certosa in Galluzzo. Here, the beauty of nature blends seamlessly with rich architectural heritage and centuries of history. Rolling hills lined with cypress trees and silvery olive groves complete the scene – an unforgettable setting for a luxurious Tuscan retreat or a truly memorable event.

THE HAMLET

The estate is spread across an entire Renaissance hamlet, consisting of the elegant architecture of the five original and finely restored villas and one suite, immersed in a wonderful and exclusive park. Walking through the hamlet’s streets and paths, surrounded by lush greenery, you can breathe the scents of the bushes of aromatic plants and delicate flowers that cover the gardens. Characteristic corners and magnificent views open onto the surrounding hills, while centuries-old trees offer shade.

A pool of crystal clear water in the middle of the park extends for 150 square metres providing refreshing relaxation, framed by extraordinary landscape. In the eastern part of the park there is an ancient restored bastion offering a natural viewpoint. The hamlet also includes a wellness centre and a restaurant open exclusively for guests in the estate’s old building with a beautiful garden in front.

The estate features five distinct luxury villas and one exclusive suite, each with its own unique story and character.
