The hotel features 54 rooms, divided between six historic buildings: the Villa Nobile, the Mill, the Villino, the Casa Colonica, the Limonaia and Villa Hombert. The spirit of the Renaissance is still palpable in the first three villas decorated with sublime canopied beds, frescoes and tapestries, silks and brocades, while the other three are beautifully furnished in a more contemporary Florentine style.
One of the villas, the Casa Colonica, an ancient farmhouse featuring 4 suites and a kitchen can be rented out on an exclusive basis.
II Verrocchio restaurant embodies the essence of regional gastronomy, where cuisine becomes a reflection of the land and its most authentic roots. The restaurant’s identity is deeply connected to Tuscany, expressed through an elegant and understated approach that honours tradition with balance and refinement. The menu draws inspiration from local heritage, with a strong focus on the quality of ingredients: freshly made pasta prepared daily, seasonal vegetables, and extra virgin olive oil from our own groves.
Just steps from the pool and surrounded by the quiet of the gardens, L’Oliveto Bistrot is set within a former stone hayloft, now transformed into an intimate and relaxed space. Exposed beams, natural materials and details inspired by Tuscan tradition create an atmosphere that is both authentic and welcoming, opening onto an outdoor patio overlooking the rolling hills on warmer days. The cuisine reflects a bright and contemporary Mediterranean approach: an Italian menu defined by freshness, seasonality and ease.
Bar Mediceo is an intimate lounge within the Villa, where time seems to slow and light dances softly across the walls. A space of hushed atmospheres, where each cocktail becomes a form of liquid poetry. Inspired by Dante’s Divina Commedia, the signature cocktail list guides guests through a sensory journey of intensity, balance and lightness.
