The Natural Products of Our Vegetable Garden.
A high-level cuisine requires products of the best quality. Since it is a historical estate in the Florentine hills, Dimora Ghirlandaio has chosen to use the natural products of its territory. The “Podere Grande di Colle Ramole,” as it was known in the times of Domenico Ghirlandaio, has always been generous in yielding fruit and vegetables. The mild climate and the sun-kissed land make for delicious produce and famed wines and food, such as our extra virgin olive oil. To this day, the dishes created by our private chef are based on the produce of our vegetable garden. You will be able to choose the vegetables your prefer directly from the garden and sample a truly local cuisine.

A Gourmet Experience in the Land of Olive Oil and Chianti Wine.
Thanks to the magnificent olive grove surrounding Dimora Ghirlandaio and the vineyards lining the nearby hills, we produce extra virgin olive oil. During your stay in Colle Ramole, you will be able to sample it at the restaurant or in your villa and during special guided tastings led by our experienced agronomist. A special occasion to combine the pleasure of relaxation with the discovery of unique flavors in the very place where they are produced.
