It’s a remarkable restoration and remodel of a series of traditional Tuscan buildings, preserving as it should the original architecture…
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set in the Valdarno hills between Florence and Arezzo, the estate is bordered by oak forests and rolling organic farmland.
The rooms
Suites occupy ancient stone houses with exposed beams and open fireplaces, while standalone villas add private gardens and pools.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor infinity pool looks out over the medieval village, and an indoor pool rests under vaulted arches.
The spa
Treatments use estate-harvested olive oil and grape extracts, and the space includes a Turkish hammam and sauna.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Chefs prepare dishes with organic farm produce and estate wines, and tastings take place in the vaulted brick cellar.
Buildings dotted around the area have been transformed into 38 suites, each composed of rustic, exposed beams, charming water colours, flickering fireplaces and hand-picked antiques.
How it began
The Ferragamo family acquired the abandoned thirteenth-century village in 1993, reviving its stone cottages and organic agricultural heritage.
