VILLA COSIMO

Totally restored since 2021, Villa Cosimo is part of an historical 1500 acres private estate just 30 minutes from Florence. The estate was owned by the Medici Family back in 1350 and surrounds a 1000 years old Convent Bosco dei Frati, where Renaissance Masters like Donatello, Michelozzo, and Fra Angelico left marks of their spectacular talent.
The Estate is now a fully-functioning organic farm which produces sunflower seeds, wheat, chickpeas, spelt, and alpha alpha. The ancient oak trees are a prime ground for truffle hunting.
These ingredients are used daily by the villa Chefs to provide a unique farm-to-table experience to Guests.
Boasting uncompromised peace and privacy, Villa Cosimo is a traditional Tuscan farmhouse with air-conditoned bedrooms, a private pool and chef services.
The villa i spread over 3 floors and features beamed ceilings, terracotta floors, and generously-sized luminous rooms.
Interiors have been refurbished to create an extremely liveable, charming and welcoming home for families and groups of friends.
