We pride ourselves on being a one-of-a-kind Farmstay where you come looking for authenticity, for experience Tuscany's raw beauty, its unbelievable Cultural Heritage, and its fabulous Cuisine and Wines. Tenuta Schifanoia has been our family estate in Tuscany for the last three generations. In 2019 we have decided to welcome outside Guests to some of our Historical Farmhouses for weekly stays in an effort to share the beauty and cultural heritage of this breathtaking land with the outside world. The overwhelming demand we have received has convinced us to continue through this journey. The synergy between our farming and hospitality business allow us to run a carbon negative operation which generates timeless memories for our beloved Guests and healthy organic food for the people while helping the planet stay cool. The Schifanoia Estate stretches along the Anguidola river and includes a total of twelve historical Farm Houses from the 1700s distributed across the hills all overseeing the Schifanoia valley. We have renovated many of these farm houses into luxury Tuscany Villas while maintaining their history and beauty. Starting in 2021, a handful of the Schifanoia Villas are available for rent. Tenuta Schifanoia is also a 1500 acres fully-functioning organic farm which we operate year around with a dedicated staff of capable farmers and agronomists. We produces sunflower seeds, wheat, chickpeas, spelt, and alpha alpha. All products are grown without the use of any fertilizers, pesticides or irrigation. Our products are used as basic ingredients for flour, oil, and pasta by many well renowned food brands. At the center of Tenuta Schifanoia, we find a hidden gem, the Convent of Bosco ai Frati. Founded by the Ubaldini prior to the 11th century, this convent is considered one of the most ancient in Tuscany. The church and convent, designed by Michelozzo Michelozzi, were rebuilt at the request of Cosimo de' Medici. Early members of the Medici family left the convent many precious gifts, among which we find the precious wooden crucifix attributed to Donatello. Today it is preserved in the small sacred art museum near the convent. Tenuta Schifanoia and its ancient oak trees have been a prime ground for truffle hunting for many centuries. Thanks to a unique balance of soil, humidity, and woodland, our Estate has produced both black 'Scorzone' Truffles as well as the very precious 'White' Truffle for many centuries. We work actively with a team of local Truffle Hunters and their cheerful dogs to preserve this long standing tradition and the wonderful truffles it generates.
