LOCATIONNestled in the winemaking region of Chianti Classico, located just 12km south of Florence.
DETAILSVilla Mangiacane is a magnificent 15th century villa built by the Machiavelli family, bearing the unmistakable hand of the Renaissance master, Michelangelo. Catering to every whim of its guests, Villa Mangiacane goes to great lengths to create unique, memorable dining experiences. The hotel’s exclusive restaurant serves up sumptuous Tuscan cuisine for dinner as well as a few Mediterranean specialties. Guests can snack on a light lunch by the gorgeous pool, and fresh breakfasts are served daily in the peaceful herb gardens. In addition, the hotel staff will happily organise a romantic feast anywhere on the hotel’s expansive grounds, or guests have the option of appreciating an intimate meal in the privacy of their own suite. The estate produces three award-winning wines and grappa along with an exceptional extra-virgin olive oil.
Villa Mangiacane’s tranquil atmosphere makes the property feel like a remote haven, and it seems surreal that Florence so close.
