In the countryside of Montelupo Fiorentino, a town on the immediate outskirts of Florence, so famous for its ceramics that it’s called “The Town of Ceramics”, is Villa Montelupo, a charming quaint Tuscan construction surrounded by olives and secular cypress trees.
Villa Montelupo is a renovated independent barn, perched on a green and quiet hill, with 360° panoramic and spectacular views of rolling Tuscan hills. It is the ideal place for anyone who desires to unite art, culture and history with relaxation and getting in touch with the extraordinary natural beauty of this magical place.
The original architectural details have been preserved and incorporated into a new, elegant and comfortable design. The barn has been restructured using traditional materials: local stone, exposed wooden beams and Florentine terracotta floors, giving a touch of simple elegance.
Here and there, you will find unusual and carefully thought out details such as fine paintings, ceramics from Montelupo and typical ornaments in character with the building.
All guests are treated to a weekly cuisine surprise so that you can taste typical local home-cooked Tuscan dishes according to the season. On your arrival, you will find a welcome basket with fresh fruit, extra-virgin olive oil harvested from the olive groves around you, red wine from the local vine yards and cellars and typical pasta.
Sit back, relax, watch the sunset, immerse your self in this magical place of astounding natural beauty and find your self again.
