La Dimora
Where the charm and art of the past meet contemporary comfort
In the lavish nature of the Tuscan countryside, just 15 minutes from the centre of Florence sits Dimora nestled on Colle Ramole, surrounded by the unique landscape of Florentine Chianti. Its magnificent.
Renaissance hamlet, with five prestigious villas enclosed in a beautiful park with a swimming pool, has offered a setting of unparalleled beauty for centuries.
Since the 15th century, the Podere di Colle Ramole, as it was originally called, was the favourite residence of the "Ghirlandaio" painters.
Today La Dimora shines once again thanks to the skillful work of restoration commissioned by the owner.
The result is this extraordinary place, where the charm and art of the past meet contemporary comfort to create a special blend.
Inside the Residence's immense park, the hamlet’s five villas, each with its own private garden, make up an exceptional resort, including a pool of 150 square meters, a refined wellness center, a place for personalized catering and an organic vegetable patch with seasonal delicacies.
The hamlet’s exclusive pearl is the famous "Ghirlandaio Chapel", built by Ridolfo in tribute to his lineage and decorated internally with his original frescoes.
The La Dimora estate also houses a magnificent olive grove that gives light to the extremely pure PGI extra virgin olive oil, which is extracted under the proprietary brand.
The breathtaking landscape, the refined design of the Renaissance accommodations and the experiences reserved for guests combined with the magic of the place to create a unique, reserved environment for exclusive use.

THE HAMLET
La Dimora houses an entire Renaissance hamlet, consisting of the elegant architecture of the original finely restored villas and a wonderful exclusive park.
Walking through the hamlet’s streets and paths, surrounded by lush greenery, you can breathe the scents of the bushes of aromatic plants and delicate flowers that cover the gardens and the Residence's rooms.
Characteristic corners and magnificent views open onto the surrounding hills, while centuries-old, tall trees offer shade and refreshment from the sun that lights up the countryside.
A pool of crystal clear water in the middle of the park extends for 150 square meters providing a refreshing relaxation outlet in the frame of an extraordinary landscape. In the eastern part of the park, an ancient restored bastion gave life to a natural viewpoint. The hamlet also includes a wellness centre, in the Renaissance villa's basement, and La Locanda, an exclusive restaurant in the estate's old building with a beautiful garden in front.
