In the lavish nature of the Tuscan countryside, Dimora Ghirlandaio's magnificent hamlet has offered a setting of unparalleled beauty for centuries. Back in the 15th century, this place was the favourite residence of the "Ghirlandaio" artists. Such preference went from Domenico the father, one of the artists preferred by Lorenzo the Magnificent, who was Michelangelo's teacher from 1488, to Ridolfo the son, an artist particularly appreciated by Raffaello, whom he befriended.

Today, thanks to a recent renovation, the entire hamlet, including the Chapel of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary painted by Ridolfo Ghirlandaio, has been brought back to its ancient splendor.

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. 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 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 cozy spa and an exclusive restaurant facing a beautiful garden.

Dimora Ghirlandaio features 5 different luxury villas and 1 suite, each of them being unique and with its own characteristics. Each residence retains the charm of Renaissance architecture, restored thanks to the expert local craftsmen's skills. The result is a flurry of villas of rare beauty, each with peculiarities that make it special. Overall, Dimora Ghirlandaio has 20 rooms, 17 of which are double and 3 singles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Virtuoso always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two plus the $100 hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for rates. You finish the booking on a secure Rialto page. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
