VILLA SASSOLINI
Piazza Ezio Rotondi 17, località Moncioni, 52025 Montevarchi (AR)
The earliest record of Villa Sassolini dates from the 15th century when a local legend describes the flight of the noblewoman Caterina Pitti from Florence to a grand house following the assassination of her husband, the Count Guido Guidi of the Guidi family of Florence, and feudal rulers of Moncioni since 1091. “Villa” was added to the name of the house in the second half of the 18th century reflecting social transformation in all of Italy.
Historically the villa’s use changed from that of a dynastic feudal stronghold to that of a country home.

The architectural and interior design choices reveal Massimo Tani's stylistic and creative signature, as well as his imaginative personality and good taste. The concept of this country boutique hotel across Tuscany consists of a perfect mix of elegance, research, comfort, charm and respect for tradition. The designer designed the interiors of all the accommodations that make up this hotel, thinking about the materials and lines that would best create harmony with the context of an ancient historic villa.
An important contribution to the definition of the project was given by the inspirations, influences and background that Massimo Tani defined during the experiences and collaborations collected as an interior designer. Hence the choice of pale, soft colors and gray scales which, in addition to conveying an idea of minimalism and lightness, instill tranquility, exactly what the guests of the country boutique hotel are looking for.
