One hundred working hectares
Woodland, hay meadows and wild fauna living alongside daily farm work. This is the estate that surrounds you.
Land cultivated with care
Over a hundred hectares of hay meadows, farmed organically. In June and July, haymaking and forage for the animals fill the air with a unique scent — especially at dawn and dusk.
The woods provide firewood for the estate and for families in Londa. A small goat herd lives on the property; deer, roe deer, porcupines and hares roam freely all around.
Where the field ends, the wild begins
Trails through the woods, silence, and the slow rhythm of those who work the land. Walking here is the simplest way to understand where you are.
The counts and the land
Casa Passerini was built in 1620 at the wish of the Counts Galli Tassi Passerini, linked to the Medici family. Around the residence, farmhouses housed the peasants who worked the land for the counts.
For decades the estate lived the slow rhythm of the Tuscan countryside — until, abandoned, it became a ruin waiting for new life.
Stone by stone, since 1986
Since 1986 the Manetti family has brought the house back to its original scale, restoring it stone by stone and reviving the farm.
After the renovation, the former farmhouses — once tied to the Counts Galli Tassi Passerini — were adapted to welcome guests of Marco and the Manetti family.
A living home, a working farm
Casa Passerini is the Manetti family's current home. The old farmhouse hosts three apartments; the historic outdoor oven was converted into a charming independent lodging.
Marco Manetti runs the organic farm on over 100 fully fenced hectares: hay meadows, woodland and a small goat herd. The pool is available to guests all year round.
