"Page through any text on Italian art history, politics, or culture, and the names of the same noble families — the great movers and shakers of the Renaissance — come up again and again. So when you hear the name Corsini attached to a hotel, as it is to Villa il Poggiale, you know there’s something grand in store. The famous Florentine family purchased the villa in 1408. Now, naturally, the place has changed hands several times since the 15th century — but if it’s good enough for Italian nobility, as they say, it’s more than good enough for us." - Tablet Hotels
