An elegant villa in the Florentine countryside

DG_Il Frantoio_Exterior view_June2024

Il Frantoio is one of Dimora Ghirlandaio’slargest and most fascinating accommodations. Its name evokes the original purpose of the building, once devoted to milling olives from the surrounding Tuscan hills. Today, Il Frantoio has been transformed into a prestigious luxury accommodation, offering an atmosphere of elegant hospitality and conviviality, further enhanced by the villa’s stunning exterior areas.

The intimate indoor and outdoor spaces of this villa offer the perfect setting for enjoying an aperitif in complete privacy or for relaxing with a book under the ancient loggia, surrounded by the beauty of the Tuscan landscape.

A CLOSER LOOK AT villa IL FRANTOIO

Il Frantoio features a magnificent outer loggia, overlooking the lush garden. The interior spaces have been artfully restored to retain the charm of the past while offering modern comforts. Every detail is crafted to ensure a peaceful stay, where conviviality and comfort take center stage. The inner courtyard, which the dining room overlooks, provides a sense of privacy.

SHARED SPACES

In the exquisite entrance hall, the floor, made of boards sourced from ancient wooden beams, preserves natural imperfections, enhancing its charm. The whitewashed walls with pietra serena finishes contrast beautifully with the stone wall featuring an ornamental fireplace in pietra forte. The lintel of the door leading from the hall to the dining room bears the coats of arms of the Bigordi family, whose nickname was “Ghirlandaio”. One coat of arms displays a galloping knight holding the bigordo, an ancient jousting pole, while the other shows three garlands, or ghirlande. The dining room of this villa is equally elegant, with large windows offering a view of the inner courtyard.

BEDROOMS

Il Frantoio’s four bedrooms—three double and one single—are furnished with great sophistication and comfort. The refined finishes and serene ambiance make each room a peaceful retreat. Il Frantoio also features a separate dependance with a double bedroom.

COURTYARD AND GARDEN

Il Frantoio’s outer loggia, with its graceful arches, is a comfortable shaded space overlooking the villa’s verdant garden. A perfect haven to unwind and enjoy the peaceful Tuscan atmosphere.
