About Us • Seven Centuries of History in Montefiesole
We are a family—mother and son, Renza and Gherardo—united by a shared vision of genuine hospitality in a medieval hamlet dating back to the 13th century.
Originally from Emilia, we chose the hills of Montefiesole to create a warm family-run retreat where every guest is welcomed personally and guided with insider tips on authentic Tuscany.
Set along the ridge linking Montefiesole, Monterifrassine and the Bardellone hill, our park is watched over by a monumental 600-year-old Cedar of Lebanon amidst olive groves and starry skies.
Every morning (8:00–10:00 AM) our generous sweet and savoury buffet breakfast included can be enjoyed either outdoors in the garden or in our bright beamed breakfast room.
“We offer not just a stay, but the embrace of a home that welcomes and shares—a hamlet documented since the 13th century where time is measured by the rhythm of nature.” — Gherardo and RenzaDiscover 700 Years of Tassinaia History →
