About Luca

Here we are, Lido and Luca, We have given a lot of thought about what we would do in the homes we inherited from our great-grandparents - old Tuscan farmers bound to this land. We had initially planned to sell them but then we realized we would regret this decision terribly. Renovation on the houses was done and we thought it would be nice to share all of this with our guests: the lush countryside surrounding the house and some good wine thus reflecting the simplicity of our lifestyle. So we worked patiently to make Villa Padronale into what you see today. We are happy to offer you a place with bright sunlit rooms, large gardens, swimming pool plus numerous sport activities or simply organize your holidays, anniversaries and weddings. Above all we wish you a warm welcome! For savvy travelers wishing to experience local life off the beaten track, the Valtiberina & Anghiari is top choice. It's here that you'll find fewer tourists, charming hill towns such as Arezo and Cortona, beautiful Sansepolcro, and a trove of undiscovered gems. The breathtaking countryside—known for its lush, green rolling hills, will take your breath away.

Luca purchased this Farmhouse in 1932

OUR LOCATION ,”VALTIBERINO “ The Fiume Tevere (Tiber river) starts here, in the Tiber valley, locally known as VALTIBERINO”, a place full of memories of battles and meetings of Saints and Heroes. The valley is dominated by the mountain of “La Verna”, the sacred ground of San Francesco who stopped to pray there to feel closer to God. This mountain was so important to Michelangelo Buonarroti that he posed on the background of the painting “Tondo Doni“ so as to remind people that he was born there. Tondo Doni is a very special painting: it is the only painting on panel by Michelangelo Buonarroti. It is round, hence its name "Tondo". It was a private commission for the rich Florentine banker Agnolo Doni. Michelangelo (born 6 March 1475) was a famous sculptor, painter, architect, poet, and engineer of the High Renaissance who exerted an unparalleled influence on the development of Western art. Despite making few forays beyond the arts, his versatility in the disciplines he took up was of such a high order that he is often considered a contender for the title of the archetypal Renaissance man, along with his fellow Italian “Leonardo
