The Villa has been immaculately renovated and boasts a history of over 1000 years. Located one hour south of Florence, the Villa was originally a fortress and is located on an ancient road known as La Francigena in the town of Monteriggioni. Its hilltop location has been the stopover destination for many pilgrims, soldiers and merchants long before today’s owner, Jens Schmidt, decided to revive the art of hospitality. The stunning views from the hilltop Villa and the silent surroundings of Montecastelli are unparalleled.
