We Love
- The hosts — Valentina and Christian, who found the ruined farmhouse and revived it, run the estate themselves; the service is personal, unhurried and genuinely warm, more private house than hotel.
- The rooms — seven, each individually styled with handcrafted majolica, a signature scent and its own colour, none with a television to distract from the view over the Mugello hills.
- The organic farm — six certified-organic hectares of ancient fruit trees, young olives, a kitchen garden and a vineyard planted in 2020, with the estate's own eggs and produce on the table.
- The food — a gourmet kitchen under chef Antonello Sardi built on the estate's organic produce and local growers, with an in-house sommelier and dinners sometimes served by Valentina herself.
- The pool and park — a panoramic outdoor pool with a solarium and pool bar set among the vineyards, a private park around it, and the Tuscan sunset best taken with a drink in hand.

Origins
Le Tre Virtù sits in the Mugello, the green valley north of Florence that was Medici country long before it was anything else — Cosimo the Elder bought land here in 1420, between the family castles of Cafaggiolo and Trebbio, and the Medici hold on these hills shaped the centuries that followed. The farmhouse at the heart of the estate is humbler but no less rooted: known as the Casaccia, it appears by name on the maps of Medici Mugello drawn in 1740, and again on the Leopoldine surveys of 1823, a working house among barns and fields a short way from the Convento di Bosco ai Frati, one of the oldest convents in Tuscany.
By the time Valentina and Christian came across it in 2010, the Casaccia was a ruin. They fell for the place and brought it back by hand — choosing the materials, recovering what could be saved, working with local artisans — and in 2016 reopened it as a small luxury relais. The name is their own: the three virtues, they say, are the fertile green of Mugello, the warmth of their hospitality, and the excellence of what the Tuscan land yields.
What they have made is deliberately intimate and personal. Seven rooms, each in its own colour and scent, with handcrafted majolica and views over the hills; a panoramic pool among the vines; and around six hectares of certified-organic land — ancient fruit trees, young olives, a kitchen garden, and a vineyard planted in 2020 that gave its first harvest in 2023. The estate runs as a working organic farm and a gourmet kitchen at once, and can be taken whole by a single party. It is the quieter, less-trodden Tuscany, half an hour from Florence yet a world from it, run by the couple who rescued it.
Top Secret
The estate keeps its own hens, and breakfast is as local as it sounds — ask nicely and you can choose your own eggs that morning. Walk it off afterwards: the Convento di Bosco ai Frati, a Medici-patronised convent among the oldest in Tuscany, is barely twenty minutes on foot through the countryside.
The Review
Le Tre Virtù is the quiet, northern Tuscany that most visitors miss — the Mugello, the Medici's own green valley, less than an hour above Florence but a world away in pace. You drive up through countryside to a restored eighteenth-century farmhouse, the Casaccia, found as a ruin and revived by Valentina and Christian, the couple who own and run it. The estate takes its name from their three virtues: the green of Mugello, the warmth of the welcome, and the produce of the land — and the stay delivers on all three.
There are just seven rooms, each individually done in its own colour and scent, with handcrafted majolica, garden or hill views and, pointedly, no television. The heart of the place is outdoors and at the table: a panoramic pool with a solarium and pool bar set among the vineyards, a private park, and a gourmet kitchen under chef Antonello Sardi — holder of a Michelin star and a Michelin green star for sustainable cooking — built almost entirely on the estate's own organic produce and a handful of local growers, poured with wines chosen by the in-house sommelier and, on a good night, served by Valentina herself.
It suits couples and small groups after the genuine, unhurried, deeply personal end of Tuscany — and families or friends who want the whole estate to themselves, since it can be booked entire for up to fourteen. The organic farm, with its fruit trees, young olives, the 2020 vineyard and the estate's own hens, makes the place feel lived-in and real rather than staged. Florence is half an hour off, the Mugello golf and racing circuit closer still, and the Medici castles and convents of the valley all around — but the estate, small and self-sufficient, tends to keep you where you are.
