"In the rooms, four-poster iron beds and brightly-coloured brocades provide an exuberant interpretation of local traditional interiors, with the Grand Duchy past of Tuscany feeling very much alive." - Laura Rysman
"A 13th-century country house beyond the bustle, pairing comparable aesthetic grandeur with the quiet, restorative feel of its setting outside the city center." - The MICHELIN Guide
"This Tuscan villa offers traditional cooking classes taught by the executive chef, allowing guests to learn regional recipes and techniques as a hands-on culinary experience." - Cat Sposato
"A 13th-century estate with 25 acres of gardens, a pool, and Renaissance decor. Offers a peaceful escape with proximity to the city center." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"The hotel and its extensive grounds—comprising a 12th century Medici villa, its outbuildings and 62 acres of parkland—stand on a quiet bend in the river Arno, four miles east of Florence. There’s nothing to see or do in this semi-rural, under-the-radar neighborhood aside from admiring the gentle countryside, so guests tend to hop on the complimentary shuttle bus into Florence for entertainment or to stay put and enjoy the pool, spa and lovely gardens. On warm summer evenings, a regular program of events and live music at the pool bar and restaurants draws in the locals. Riverside restaurant Il Verrocchio is a lovely spot for dinner, especially on a warm summer evening, and the chef makes good use of produce from the kitchen garden and the estate’s own olive in his menus of creative Tuscan and pan-Italian dishes." - Nicky Swallow, Erica Firpo
