Palazzo Rosadi is a beautifully restored historical manor house dating from 1785, and has been in the Rosadi family for over 200 years. It is a luxurious country home in a wonderful location near the little village of Monterchi (near Arezzo) with 6 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, garden, a 12 x 6 swimming pool (open from 1 st of May to 1 st of October)that is warmed by an all day sun exposure with an impressive panoramic views, and for the kid's to enjoy themselves a tennis table!
Palazzo Rosadi was a farming family's residence for two hundred years. One of the charms of staying in Tuscany is that most houses have a long and interesting history.
In 1889 Francesco Rosadi came to live in Ripoli with his family. He had bought a number of farm estates in the area, and Palazzo Rosadi was in a good and central position to run and manage all of them.
In 1902 Palazzo Rosadi was extended as the family had already grown. They used the services of a local artist, Giangio, from Monterchi, who decorated the majority part of the bedrooms and corridors.
During the 2nd World War the house was used as a refuge to the inhabitants of Ripoli, during a 2 week bombardment by German forces.
In more recent times, the house has been used as a family home, from where they managed the farming of their local land.
From the year 2000, the Rosadi family became involved in tourism, and many visitors from all over the world have subsequently enjoyed interesting and relaxing holidays at the villa.
Grassed paths through mature woods provide splendid opportunities for gentle walks or running, and continue throughout the vast, private parkland ( 25 hectares) that surrounds the house.
The vistas are absolutely splendid, looking over small hilltop towns and villages with the Apennine mountain range forming the backdrop in the far distance.
The immaculate, manicured garden is over 3 terraces with the swimming pool on the level below the house.
From the paved poolside area guests may take full advantage of the magnificent vistas.
A stone barn has been renovated into a large, quality shower/changing room complete with WC serving the pool.
Palazzo Rosadi is a luxury villa with a very high standard of accommodation and facilities. It is managed directly by the owners. In case of any problems, the owners are just 20 minutes away. They are there to meet and greet you, show you around the property and help with any needs you have. The difference between a property managed by the owners and a property owned by someone living in another country is huge. Have you ever arrived after a long journey and found the most basic of welcome packs? A half cleaned house? A semi clean pool? At Palazzo Rosadi the majority of our guests are repeat bookings. The enjoyment of your holiday is our number one priority.
Stay with us to see the difference!!
