A warm welcome...
Art & Culture
This is where the great artist Michelangelo was born and lived. The little chapel where he was baptised is in the village and a museum dedicated to him is within the Castle of Michelangelo. Nearby at La Verna is the Franciscan monastery retreat where St Francis of Assisi is said to have received the stigmata. Rich in Renaissance history are the local towns of Sansepolcro, Cortona and the medieval walled town of Anghiari. Florence and Rome are easily accessed by car or train.
Beautiful Surroundings
This beautiful villa stands in the heart of Tuscany overlooking the village of Caprese Michelangelo. The villa is set in 10 acres of the most beautiful mountain forests and is surrounded by olive trees. The pool, with descending Roman steps, sits in an olive grove and overlooks by a terrace with a wonderful view through the mountains to Caprese Michelangelo and the Castle of Michelangelo, which in the distance looks like a fairytale castle and mountain top village.
Lots To Do
The tranquil position, frequently described as 'paradise on earth' contains an abundance of wildlife where the birds sing all night and the fireflies provide a moving display of sparkling light. In years gone by, the villa was owned by the Vatican and was used to house monks from the monastery. Ideal for walking and cycling, the area is home to many fine restaurants, with truffles and mushrooms being a local speciality, and good Tuscan wines. The mountains and forests have inspired the three greatest artists of the Renaissance and remain largely unspoiled today.
Luxury Accommodations
The villa contains three exclusive luxury suites; Leonardo, Michelangelo and Piero della Francesca, which have been lovingly and elegantly restored using chesnut beams, terracotta tiles and local stone. The walls have been decorated with oil paintings and tapestries which contain fine views of Italy. Private facilities include; pool (heated to 36 degrees by solar panels) and whirlpool spa jacuzzi.
Relaxation At Its Best
All three suites open onto a beautiful Tuscan courtyard with large gazebo gently shaded by vines, Jasmine and Kiwi. This is a wonderful area to relax and enjoy a drink, particularly in the evenings when the area is softly lit. The suites can be rented individually or as a whole for larger groups. The beautiful swimming pool with Roman steps and Jacuzzi overlooking the wonderful views of Caprese Michelangelo offers complete relaxation.
