This venue consists of an ancient villa and a farm and it lies in the countryside, halfway of the slope that separates the Upper Valdarno from Chianti. This important and ancient residence (dated 13th century)risked to be ruined when the farmers abandoned the countryside.

Today, the Villa offers its guests an unforgettable and peaceful stay, immersed in the nature and in touch with the traditions of the Tuscan countryside, its typical dishes, people and vivid culture.

The restaurant is situated in the old halls of the castle, with surprising cross vaults.
