One hundred hectares of woodland and fields
Hay meadows and woods home to deer, roe deer and porcupines.
Three apartments at the heart of the estate
Gianna, Marco and Giulia: three homes carved from the historic body of Casa Passerini, with views over the countryside and direct access to the trails.
Each bears the name of someone who lives this land every day.
A hundred hectares of woodland and meadows
Hay meadows and woods home to deer, roe deer and porcupines. In June and July the air smells of hay and forage — especially at dawn and dusk.
A ruin brought back to life
Built in 1620 by the Counts Galli Tassi Passerini, chroniclers of the Medici family, the house was abandoned for decades.
Since 1986 the Manetti family has restored it stone by stone, bringing the farm back into production. Today it is a living home — and a working farm.
What the land gives
Eggs, jams from the fields and vegetables from the garden: simple, seasonal products.
