THE HAMLET
It houses an entire Renaissance hamlet, consisting of the elegant architecture of the original finely restored villas and a wonderful 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 and the Residence’s rooms.

Characteristic corners and magnificent views open onto the surrounding hills, while centuries old, tall trees offer shade and refreshment from the sun that lights up the countryside.

A pool of crystal clear water in the middle of the park extends for 150 square meters providing a refreshing relaxation outlet in the frame of an extraordinary landscape.

In the eastern part of the park, an ancient restored bastion gave life to a natural viewpoint.

The hamlet also includes a wellness centre, in the Renaissance villa’s basement, and an exclusive restaurant in the estate’s old building with a beautiful garden in front.

THE ACCOMODATION
La Dimora offers five different luxury villas, each with its unique history and characteristics. Each residence retains the charm of Renaissance architecture, restored thanks to the expert local craftsmen’s skills.

Overall, the estate has 20 rooms, 17 of which are double and 3 singles.

LA VILLA
This is the main building and was a magnificent manor house. The splendid façade overlooks a double staircase with an Italian garden flanked by an ancient lemon house and a bathtub with sapphire reflections. The finely furnished interior retains some of the period’s unmistakable features, such as the elegant coffered ceiling on the ground-floor living room. In addition to the living room with a fireplace, the Villa includes a bright dining room, a large equipped kitchen and five double bedrooms. The villa’s ancient dovecote boasts an extraordinary view of Florence Cathedral and the the Certosa in Galluzzo.

Next to the garden, the old lemon house has been renovated to offer an annex with an
additional room. The round arches, which resemble the original ones, illuminate the interior with the light of the countryside that filters through the large windows.

LA FATTORIA
Adjacent to the Renaissance Villa, La Fattoria is one of the sixteenth-century villas that is
transformed into a classy residence. With four rooms, La Fattoria offers splendid views of Florence and the surrounding hills. The structure is completed by a large panoramic courtyard and exclusive access to the Cappella della Beata Maria Vergine.

IL FRANTOIO
Is among the most evocative villas. It is the result of the restoration of the estate’s ancient oil mill, a prestigious luxury accommodation today. The magnificent outdoor porch, overlooking the private garden, offers the perfect setting for outdoor lunches and breakfasts. A large living room and a sitting room, both with fireplaces, join the 3 bedrooms, 2 double and one single, on the upper floor in a context of refined elegance. From the internal courtyard, there is access to the annex with an additional room.

LA BOTTEGA
La Bottega has maintained its original architecture more than any other. The beautiful characteristic arches and the typical materials of the rural style generate an atmosphere of welcoming beauty. In addition to the living room with a fireplace and living room, dominated by a magnificent wooden truss, La Bottega includes a kitchen and two double bedrooms, both equipped with wardrobes and a private marble bathroom. One particular room enjoys a view that opens onto the spectacle of Florence and the soft
surrounding hills. And everything is topped off with a harmonious garden.

LO STUDIO
For anyone who loves quiet and privacy, Lo Studio offers elegant accommodation surrounded by greenery, with a garden surrounded by fragrant hedges, bougainvillea and fruit trees. A beautiful external pergola is ideal for lunchtime tasting sessions and outdoor aperitifs. The villa’s interior houses a bright living room with a dining area, a fully-fitted kitchen, a master bedroom on the mezzanine floor connected to a single room and a private access to the garden, plus two more double bedrooms on the upper floor.
