Villa Moris is a leap in the history of Chianti: an 18th century villa with a 16th century incorporated tower, a former farm restored respecting its architectural peculiarities, furnished with the original furniture where possible, immersed in frescoed walls and ceilings. Every detail reflects the immense love of the owners for the villa. There is no television, but plenty of books that you can consult, there is no air conditioning because the interior of the villa almost never reaches high temperatures due to the very thick walls. We look forward to welcoming guests who want to immerse themselves in the past!

I am a geographer passionate of animals, nature, travel, music, photography, art. Welcoming guests is a bit like traveling: this is the spirit with which we make bed and breakfast. For our part, we would like to introduce you to our territory: Florence and Siena are indescribable beauty and it would not take a lifetime to visit them, but Chianti is also dotted with jewels unknown to "mass tourism" that we feel are as exciting as the big ones city of art, precisely because little known. A slow and conscious tourism is, in our opinion, the true spirit with which a traveler comes into contact with the country he visits and with its inhabitants, as opposed to the "hit and run" coaches that clog the cities of art. If you want we will be happy to tell you some of our "jewels"!

Near Tavarnelle is the Pieve di S. Pietro in Bossolo, one of the oldest churches in the Val di Pesa, and in the village you can visit the Franciscan convent of Borghetto. In the surroundings are the former castles of Barberino, San Donato in Poggio, Tignano and San Casciano, which in the Middle age represented important meeting points for trade. A few kilometers from Tavarnelle is the abbey of San Michele Arcangelo a Passignano, a monastery of the Vallombrosian Congregation. The monastery adopted the Vallombrosian rule already in the eleventh century by the work of San Giovanni Gualberto, who died here in 1073. More often destroyed and rebuilt, today it appears more like a castle than a monastic community. The abbey church, with a Latin cross plan, was almost entirely rebuilt from the second half of the sixteenth century and internally frescoed by Domenico Cresti, called the Passignano by Alessandro Allori. Inside the abbey you can visit the wonderful Sala del Cenacolo, built by Domenico Ghirlandaio between 1440 and 1485 and recently restored.
