This splendid villa located in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, a short walk from the town of San Miniato and in a panoramic position is the magnificent result of the renovation of a military fort dating back to 786 A.D., known as Castrum Moriori.
This property has medieval origins like the town in which it is located, San Miniato, a Tuscan town that sits on a hill halfway between Pisa and Florence and a very important economic and cultural center in the area that boasts numerous productions of valuable materials and products such as leather, white truffles, wine and oil.
Renovated in 2013 this villa, now an accommodation facility, is the work of recovery of a centuries-old castle built in a strategic area and victim of many wars between the village of San Miniato and the city of Pisa carried out in the fourteenth century. Later it was, then, replaced by a large farm owned by the Grifoni family to pass, finally, in 1751 to the Florentine Pazzi Family who transformed it into a farmhouse of which evidence still exists on the capitals signed with the name of the noble family.
In keeping with the rustic Tuscan style, each apartment in this villa has been renovated with fine materials such as handmade terracotta floors from Impruneta, fine handcrafted wooden furniture, and expertly renovated 19th-century wood-beamed ceilings.
The interiors are composed as follows: entrance from the garden onto a large hallway on the floor of which the coat of arms of the villa has been hand-painted and from which one enters, on the left, the first apartment composed of a large living room with dining room and handmade kitchen in Carrara marble with a working fireplace. A corridor separates, then, the living area from the sleeping area consisting of two double bedrooms and a bathroom with shower.
Also on the ground floor is the second apartment with separate entrance and exclusive courtyard, consisting of large living room with working fireplace, kitchen, three double bedrooms and three spacious bathrooms.
Continuing to the second floor of the villa is the third apartment, consisting of a large living room also with a fireplace, dining room with kitchen and two double bedrooms both with en-suite bathrooms.
On this floor is also located the fourth apartment developed on two levels and consisting of large dining room with kitchen and fireplace, large and bright living room, a bathroom and two double bedrooms with private bathroom. Thanks to a stone staircase, one reaches the second attic floor consisting of a large living space where two bathrooms are located and which offers the possibility of enjoying the environment as best suits one.
Returning to the ground floor, thanks to a staircase, one reaches the basement floor where there is a professional kitchen, a large hall now used to host congresses and ceremonies, three rooms with exposed vaulted ceilings and a reception room with minibar and direct access to the outside. These spaces were obtained from the old cellars of the villa.
To complete the property the large parking area, the large garden, the land of 32 hectares planted partly with olive trees and partly with woodland, a fantastic swimming pool in a panoramic position over the village of San Miniato and an outbuilding of about 600 square meters to be restored.

San Miniato is a medieval village located on a hill nestled in the verdant Florentine countryside, an excellent crossroads between the cities of Pisa and Florence, which waged numerous battles for its conquest. An important economic and industrial center of the leather area of Ponte a Egola, San Miniato is famous for its white truffles and both wine and oil products.
Its birth is due to the arrival on this hill of a group of Lombards in 713 AD who, together with King Frederick II of Swabia, erected a church dedicated to the martyr Miniato. Still present today is the Fortress of Frederick II, which dominates the highest point of the hill of San Miniato and is the main element that distinguishes and identifies the Borgo. From its apex there is a spectacular 360-degree view and, during good weather days, the gaze reaches as far as the sea. Later, even Napoleon visited the village both because of the Sanminiatesi origins of the Buonaparte family and to receive the family’s own certificate of nobility.
In San Miniato there are numerous historical monuments all either restored or reconstructed that attest to its ancient roots, including the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta.
During the year, it is home to numerous festivities such as the National White Truffle Market Exhibition of the Sanminiatesi Hills, the theater festival and numerous musical festivals.
