Description

Our Private Estate offers guests an authentic immersion in the Tuscan lifestyle, where history, art, and elegance blend harmoniously. The Main Villa overlooks the historical Italian Maze Garden, a romantic setting for private dinners, events, and unforgettable photos. The Red Banquet Lounge, the hand-painted Chinese Room, and the Piano Lounge, rich in Italian charm, are available by special arrangement for weddings, anniversaries, conferences, fashion shows, and team-building experiences.

At garden level, the bright Serra with its large French doors opening onto the Maze Garden welcomes guests for breakfast or intimate dinners. A traditional country kitchen is dedicated to private chefs, catering, and Tuscan cooking classes, where guests can learn authentic local recipes passed down through generations.

The Estate also offers wine tastings, yoga lessons surrounded by olive and cypress trees, and lively pizza parties with our wood-fired oven and pizzaiolo. Guests can enjoy a classic Bistecca Fiorentina barbecue with family and friends in a dreamlike atmosphere filled with nature and tranquillity, yet just minutes from Florence’s artistic treasures and museums.

During winter, the warmth of Tuscan sandstone fireplaces invites guests to relax with a book or a glass of Chianti, in a cosy atmosphere reminiscent of a bygone era. Every corner of the Estate tells a story of beauty, tradition, and family heritage, offering a timeless journey into the heart of Tuscany.
