History, culture, art and nature make Tenuta di Artimino a place of timeless Tuscan beauty. Originally built in 1596 as a large hunting lodge by Ferdinando I De Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, Tenuta di Artimino embodies the noblest Tuscan way of life, surrounded by rolling hills, vineyards, olive groves and ancient trees. In a dominant position over the hills and the Montalbano vineyards, located in a spot once sacred to the Etruscans, Medici Villa La Ferdinanda is the heart of the estate: a unique place where history, art and nature come together harmoniously. Representing the link between the various land holdings of the Medici family, the majestic Medici Villa La Ferdinanda at Tenuta di Artimino is today recognized as Unesco World Heritage Site and is an internationally renowned location with large indoor and outdoor spaces, modern technological equipment and a staff dedicated to organizing events. The beautiful outdoor garden is perfect for a variety of occasions. A faithful restoration has transformed the Paggeria Medicea, former home of the pages of the Medici family and guest house of the seventeenth century, into a classy hotel, enhancing the precious original elements such as fireplaces, sandstone sinks and terracotta floors. The hotel has 36 rooms, each with private access. In addition to the swimming pool in the park adjacent to the Villa and the tennis court, hotel guests can enjoy the nearby Le Pavoniere Golf Club, with its 18 holes designed by Arnold Palmer.
