History
The foundations of Villa Medicea Lo Sprocco date back to the 1400s, commissioned by Lorenzo and Giovanni de' Medici, sons of Pier Francesco, and later sold to Taddeo Ducci in 1494. A cornerstone of the ancient Medici lineage, the Villa incorporates an 11th-century Ubaldina tower and was chosen by Lorenzo the Magnificent as a hunting lodge. After passing through the Gherardi family, the property was acquired by the Bolognese de' Bianchi family. Major restorations were initiated in 1898 by Count Filippo Sassoli de' Bianchi to restore its 15th-century appearance, despite significant 18th-century refurbishments, including the still-consecrated Chapel dated 1729. Key internal features include the Salone dei Medici with a 14th-century pietra serena fireplace bearing the Medici coat of arms, and the Papal Apartment which once hosted Popes Leo X and Clement VII.
The Experience
Upon arrival at Villa Medicea Lo Sprocco you’ll find a beautiful clean well-maintained property with views of the hills perfect for a peaceful holiday in Tuscany. For your enjoyment you will find a private pool where you can relax while enjoying a nice cold beverage after a busy day of sightseeing.
The owners
Massimo
As the villa's sommelier and maître, his focus is to introduce you to Tuscan wines and extra virgin olive oil, and to explain the dishes prepared by the villa's master chef and presented at the buffet. He is also particularly interested in rum and high-end spirits, which he serves at the villa bar alongside aperitifs, cocktails and appetisers.
Renata
Renata is nicknamed Nonna Renata (Grandmother Renata) because of her age, but also because of the way she makes you feel at home in the villa. She is like a sweet grandmother who makes delicious dishes to make you taste Medici's dishes and ancient Tuscan dishes.

The queen of breakfast. Her cakes are among the best reviewed aspects of the villa. They are homemade and made early in the morning, just before the customers arrive in the salon near the kitchen. You will be greeted by an unbeatable scent of sweet cakes.
She is always prepared to demonstrate her techniques for baking delicious cakes, which you can then recreate when you return home.
