Impruneta, Florence

A Restored Convent Above the Florentine Hills.

Villa Castiglione occupies a 19th-century convent in the hills of Impruneta, five kilometres from Florence, with gardens opening onto a view of Brunelleschi's Duomo. Its twelve rooms, each uniquely designed by Florentine artist Gabriele Nuzzarello, make every corner of this restored convent unmistakably its own.

Tuscan Cooking in a Vaulted Room.

The restaurant devotes itself to the produce of the Impruneta countryside: a traditional Tuscan table prepared with market ingredients, served in the vaulted dining room or on the courtyard terrace, with Chianti and local wines from the Colli Fiorentini below.

Tuscan Dining

The vaulted restaurant, serving the produce of Impruneta: ribollita, bistecca, Chianti.

Five Kilometres From the City.

Impruneta is not quite Florence and not quite countryside: a hill town of terracotta kilns and Chianti vineyards where the road south climbs through cypress and olive before the Duomo appears below. Villa Castiglione sits in the middle of it, close enough to see the city, far enough to feel entirely elsewhere.

Accommodation

12 Rooms by Gabriele Nuzzarello.

Location

Impruneta, Florence Hills

Villa Castiglione stands on the Via Colle Ramole in Impruneta, a hill town in the Colli Fiorentini five kilometres south of Florence. The Duomo, the Uffizi and the Ponte Vecchio are a short drive, while the surrounding countryside offers Chianti vineyards, the Certosa di Galluzzo and the long road north along the city's ancient ring of hills.
