Mandorla is a stone house that forms part of a hamlet situated in the Valdarno area of the Tuscan countryside, an area of great fascination and charm surrounded by olive groves where nature is the real protagonist.
The hamlet was a 6th century convent, which has since been renovated, transforming the original rooms into refined meeting places with high technology such as the conference room, the library, the restaurant and the wine cellar which is only open to guests.
A showcase where everything has been thought of to find the right equilibrium between ancient and contemporary styles and a dream where nature and luxury fuse together.
During your stay tasting of the olive oil made on the farm can be organised in the hamlet.
Mandorla faces onto the eastern side of the village square forming the perimeter.
The building made of stones and brick is dominated by a large walnut tree overhanging the loggia. A private garden of 500 sqm belongs to Mandorla.
Antique furniture and modern design pieces are combined with taste and refinement.
Guests staying in Mandorla can use the communal swimming pool at the centre of the hamlet.
