From Palazzo Strozzi to the Heart of the Mugello: The Journey of a Masterpiece.

Florence is currently celebrating the divine hand of Fra Angelico in a landmark exhibition at . While the crowds gather in the city, the true soul of the master remains hidden here, in the hills where he was born.
For the discerning traveler, the story of the Renaissance is best told through the Pala del Bosco ai Frati. To see it at Strozzi is a privilege; to understand its origins, one must travel just 30 minutes north of Florence to the verdant Mugello.
Born in nearby Luco di Mugello, Fra Angelico’s artistic identity was forged in these landscapes. His masterpiece, the Pala, was commissioned for the Convento di Bosco ai Frati—an architectural gem designed by Michelozzo and the favored spiritual retreat of Cosimo de’ Medici.
Today, this historic Convent sits directly at the heart of the Tenuta Schifanoia estate. It is more than a landmark; it is our neighbor and our history. We offer our guests a rare bridge between the city’s museums and the quiet sanctity of the countryside.
An Exclusive Invitation:
For our guests, we are pleased to arrange private, after-hours tours of the Bosco ai Frati Convent and its museum. Led by expert historians, these bespoke visits allow you to walk the same cloisters as the Medici and contemplate the sacred art of Fra Angelico in the very silence for which it was intended.
Experience the Renaissance not as a spectator, but as an insider. Witness the glory at Palazzo Strozzi, then retreat to the source—where the journey began.

These hills have shaped the eye and imagination of some of Italy’s greatest artists. Donatello, Fra Angelico, and even Giotto — born here in the Mugello — all worked in and around this land, guided by the same light, the same silence, the same rhythm of countryside that surrounds Schifanoia today.

Our Countryside Painting Class, led by one of our resident artist, invites guests into that lineage. You sit beneath the poplars or near the Anguidola River, sketchbook open, watching the valley the way the masters once did: slowly, deliberately, letting the landscape reveal its colors.

The class becomes less about technique and more about perception — how the hills shift in late afternoon light, how shadows gather under the oaks, how the countryside softens into gold as the day grows quiet.

In these moments, guests aren’t simply learning to paint.
They are continuing a centuries-old tradition born from this very land.

Each villa at Tenuta Schifanoia has its own wood-burning oven — the same kind farmers used here in the 18th century to bake their daily bread. Today, those ovens return to life for our fresh pizza–making class, one of the most joyful experiences on the estate.

Every pizza begins with flour made from grains grown on our 1,500-acre organic estate, farmed without pesticides or chemicals. We mill a curated blend of heritage wheats — Verna, San Pastore, Sieve, and Inallettabile — giving the dough a flavour that belongs entirely to the Mugello valley.

Guests gather around the fire, shaping dough by hand, adding vegetables from the garden and local cheeses. When the pizza emerges from the oven with a blistered crust and warm, fragrant aroma, it carries centuries of tradition in a single bite.

More than a class — it’s a return to origins.

At the edge of Tenuta Schifanoia, the landscape meets water. The Sieve River, born in the Apennine mountains, flows clear and cold through the Mugello valley before joining the Arno on its way to Florence. Along its quiet bends, surrounded by willow and alder, you’ll find one of Tuscany’s most beautiful places for fly fishing.

Here, under the surface, live wild brown trout — a sign of the river’s purity and of the protected environment that defines our valley. The water that feeds the Sieve is the same mountain spring water that nourishes our organic fields of wheat, spelt, sunflowers, and alfalfa. A landscape farmed without pesticides, herbicides, or chemicals, creating an ecosystem where nature remains perfectly in balance.

Guests are guided along the riverbanks for catch-and-release fly fishing, a calm, meditative experience shaped by patience and the steady rhythm of the water. No crowds, no noise — just the whisper of the river and the soft pull of the current.

Like everything at Schifanoia, this is Tuscany at its most authentic: quiet, alive, and deeply connected to the land that sustains it.

A place where even the river feels untouched.

At sunset, Tenuta Schifanoia reveals the full rhythm of its landscape. The lake settles into stillness, the Poplar Boulevard glows in soft gold, and the Anguidola River moves quietly toward the valley — its spring water born in the Apennines, feeding the land that surrounds the estate.

Beyond the poplars, the oak woods deepen into shadow, holding the same calm they’ve carried for centuries. And in the distance, the fields stretch across the horizon — wheat, spelt, sunflowers, and alfalfa growing in harmony across our 1,500-acre organic estate.

This is the Tuscany that rarely appears on postcards: untouched, authentic, and shaped by the natural elements that have defined the Mugello valley for generations.

For guests staying at our Villas, this view becomes part of daily life — a private sunset over a landscape that still belongs entirely to silence, light, and the land itself.

A place where evening feels endless.

White truffles are among the rarest ingredients in the world — not because they’re hidden, but because they grow only under precise natural conditions. They require pure water, the right soil, the right altitude, and most importantly, the roots of specific trees: poplar, oak, willow, hazel.

At Tenuta Schifanoia, these elements converge in a way found almost nowhere else in Tuscany. The Anguidola River, born in the Apennine mountains, feeds the estate with fresh spring water. Along its banks, and through our historic poplar viale, the trees form the perfect symbiotic environment where white truffles develop — quietly, season after season.

Stefano walks this corridor of poplars with Birba and Prugna, the two dogs whose instinct guides them to the precise points where the roots and soil meet in perfect harmony. When they pause, tails circling, Stefano kneels to reveal the pale truffle beneath the soft riverbank earth — a treasure shaped by water, roots, and time.

This is not a staged experience. These are private truffle grounds on a working estate, harvested only by those who understand their rhythm.

A rare Tuscan terroir, revealed one scent at a time.

At Villa Tuori, morning begins beneath a canopy of centuries-old oaks. The Oak Garden—a natural terrace carved gently into the hillside—offers the kind of quiet that luxury travelers rarely find anymore: complete stillness, broken only by wind through leaves and distant birdsong.

This is where our private yoga sessions take place. No studio walls, no crowds, no artificial soundtrack—just open air, filtered sunlight, and the soft rhythm of a living estate awakening around you.

Practicing here feels like a return to something essential. The villa stands just beyond the trees, its stone warmed by the early sun, while the fields stretch out below: wheat, spelt, sunflowers, and the patient geometry of an organic farm that has shaped this land for generations.

At Schifanoia, wellness isn’t curated. It isn’t packaged. It grows naturally from the landscape itself, offering guests the rarest luxury of all: privacy, space, and the freedom to breathe deeply in a place that feels entirely their own.

As daylight fades, Tuscany hills dissolve into gold. The villa terrace fills with candlelight and the faint scent of hay carried by the evening breeze. Dinner here feels both intimate and infinite — a table set between earth and sky.

Our chef prepares a quiet feast: hand-rolled pasta, seasonal vegetables from the fields, a drizzle of local oil, truffle freshly shaved. Service moves softly, leaving space for conversation, for pause, for the rare luxury of time.

Nights at Schifanoia remind you that true hospitality is invisible — felt, not seen.

The Mugello valley — long known for its forests and fields — is quietly becoming one of Tuscany’s most intriguing wine regions. The altitude, the soil, the clean northern light: conditions once considered too cool for traditional Sangiovese now nurture elegant Pinot Noirs and crisp whites that reflect the precision of this landscape.

At Tenuta Schifanoia, guests can taste a curated selection from our neighbours in Mugello, alongside wines from our family estate, I Veroni in Chianti Rufina — one of the oldest DOCG areas east of Florence, where vines have been cultivated since the 1500s.

Each glass connects two worlds: the cultivated hills of Chianti and the wild open plains of Schifanoia. Paired with house-made bread, local cheeses, and seasonal produce from our organic fields, the experience becomes a quiet celebration of Tuscan flavour — sophisticated, rural, and unmistakably real.

As the sun drops behind the hills, Villa Tuori becomes its own world — silent, secluded, and framed by the endless curves of Tuscany.

Here, evenings unfold slowly: the last warm light on the stone walls, the fields turning copper, the landscape settling into its nocturnal calm.

This is the promise of Tenuta Schifanoia: complete privacy, five-star comfort, and a villa surrounded by nothing but open land and light.

A place to disappear beautifully. Shot by

At Tenuta Schifanoia, cooking is not performance — it’s participation. Guests gather in the villa kitchen beside our chef, sleeves rolled, hands dusted with flour milled from the estate’s own wheat and spelt.

Every movement recalls the rhythm of this land: slow, patient, purposeful. Truffle from the nearby woods shaves into butter; a drizzle of golden oil finishes the plate. The reward is immediate yet timeless — a meal that belongs entirely to the place it was made.

In a world that celebrates excess, Schifanoia celebrates origin.
