THE LAND
Located in central Italy, Tuscany is home to stunning landscapes, world-class food and the historic cities of Florence & Siena. It’s a place of art, delicious local dishes, Chianti wines and charming hilltop towns.
Tuscany is famous for many things, but of all its qualities, the countryside is perhaps the most remarkable. Whether you are walking the vineyard trails, or driving a winding road to one of the hilltop towns, its hills, valleys and cypress trees always seem to arrange themselves into an exquisite view. Each one more impressive than the next.
THE VILLA
The retreat takes place at historic Villa, originally built in the fifteenth-century. It is located 400m above sea level in the beautiful Tuscan hills, 45 minutes away from the magical city of Florence. The estate itself covers hundreds of hectares filled with olive groves, vineyards and forest.
Olive trees on the estate produce one of the finest olive oils in the world. Grapes from the expansive vineyards are used to produce delicious organic wine. The land also produces fine raw honey, seasonal garden vegetables, and its own “Vinsanto” – a delicate white dessert wine that is traditionally aged in oak barrels for at least five years. Simply divine!
ACCOMMODATIONS
Accommodations are held in charming apartments with double or single bedrooms and shared living-room & fireplace. Apartments are located in a seventeenth-century building attached to the main Villa. Historically used as a convent, its original structure has been meticulously and elegantly maintained for an authentic experience.

PRESERVING THE WAYS OF THE ANCESTORS OF THIS LAND
The villa is full of ancient tradition and history. Its buildings have been carefully preserved and restored to their original state.
The estate is also the birth place of an exquisite category of olive oil — known as “Laudemio.” Olives are sustainably & organically grown and its oil has the most rigorous certification for olive oil production in Italy. Only a few families in the whole country continue to produce olive oil this way and can carry the label to date.
