Location
A small oasis of luxury and relaxation immersed in the lush Tuscan hinterland. Situated in a village named Moncioni, bordering the valley of the Arno and beautifully overlooking the renowned hills of Chianti, Villa Sassolini enjoys an enviable position: it is ideal for exclusive holidays for its unique romantic atmosphere. At an hour drive from here there are Florence, Siena and Arezzo, where art and culture lovers will find a wide choice of itineraries. 

Hotel
This beautiful Villa built in the fourteenth century and recently restored has now become the prestigious residence Villa Sassolini. It was once the summer residence of important aristocratic Florentine families, like the counts Guidi, and stands out in the vast panorama of Tuscan estates, that offer accommodation for its ability in blending traditional charm with contemporary chic design. The property has retained the freshness of its ancient and original facade, while the interior has been restored following a modern and contemporary design characterized by minimalist traits. In the main building (Villa), in addition to the rooms located at the first and second floor, there is the reception, the restaurant and a large terrace overlooking the outdoor pool. In the annexe buildings there are the other bedrooms, the new small SPA and a cookery school. The residence has also a lush garden, where lavender, roses and rosemary combined give rise to a mixture of colours and fragrances. Of great importance is the high quality of service and the careful attention to the guest, who is immediately captured by the discreet harmony that reigns in the Villa Sassolini.
