Palazzo Rosadi - A luxurious Tuscan villa, only 4KM to Monterchi
One of the highlights of a stay at Palazzo Rosadi is what’s included. Guests are welcomed with a complimentary welcome buffet on arrival, perfect for settling in after your journey. During the week, you’ll also enjoy an included monastery tour and wine tasting, offering a rare insight into local history and winemaking traditions that you simply wouldn’t find without local connections. These experiences add real depth to the stay and reflect the authentic character of the area.
Beyond what’s already included, Palazzo Rosadi is an excellent base for guests who want to experience the Valtiberina in a more active or immersive way. Thanks to the owners long-standing local connections, he can help arrange a range of optional experiences, including guided walking and cycling routes, wine tastings, horse riding, golf, cultural visits, local markets, and private excursions. Whether you’re travelling as a family, a group of friends, or as couples looking for slow, authentic travel, we’re happy to advise and help tailor activities to suit your stay.
The villa was later expanded and decorated by local artist Luigi Puletti, a forerunner of the Liberty style, and today it blends classic Tuscan architecture with refined modern comforts. Exposed wooden beams, restored frescoes, elegant furnishings, and generous living spaces create a relaxed but sophisticated atmosphere throughout the 500 m² property.
Palazzo Rosadi is surrounded by 25 hectares of private land, with century-old oak trees, cypresses, and pines forming a natural park where guests can walk, relax, and enjoy the landscape. A one-hectare rose garden offers a particularly peaceful setting, with far-reaching views across the surrounding hills.
The private swimming pool (6 m x 12 m) enjoys panoramic views and is equipped with sunbeds, umbrellas, and a gazebo. The pool area is illuminated in the evening, making it ideal for a quiet swim or a drink at sunset. An outdoor Jacuzzi is available on request for guests wanting an extra touch of indulgence.
Inside, the villa offers six spacious, air-conditioned bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom. The restored frescoes in the bedrooms are a standout feature, while the rest of the interiors combine antique and contemporary pieces to create warm, welcoming spaces that feel both elegant and comfortable.
Palazzo Rosadi is ideal for families, groups of friends, or couples travelling together who want space, privacy, and a genuine connection to the region. With its generous grounds, thoughtful layout, and included local experiences, it offers far more than just a place to stay.

Property Information
Palazzo Rosadi sits in the Valtiberina, the upper Tiber Valley, a beautiful and largely unspoilt area where Tuscany meets Umbria and Marche. This is a region known for art, craftsmanship, walking landscapes, and genuine local life rather than mass tourism, making it an ideal base for guests who want peaceful countryside combined with cultural depth and easy access to historic towns without crowds.
The valley is closely linked to great Renaissance figures such as Piero della Francesca and Michelangelo Buonarroti, both born in this area. Today, the region remains rooted in strong traditions of food, farming, and artisan production, giving it a distinctly authentic feel.
Palazzo Rosadi is located just outside Monterchi, a small and characterful Tuscan village best known for housing La Madonna del Parto by Piero della Francesca. Art lovers will appreciate having one of Italy’s most important Renaissance works just minutes away, without the crowds of larger cities.
The area is ideal for guests who want to experience real local life. Monterchi offers a small selection of shops, cafés, and essential services, while nearby villages and towns are home to excellent, family-run trattorias serving traditional Tuscan and Umbrian cuisine. Our guests particularly enjoy exploring the restaurants in Monterchi, Anghiari, and Sansepolcro, all within easy driving distance, where menus focus on seasonal produce, handmade pasta, local meats, and regional wines.
Thanks to its position close to the Tuscan–Umbrian border, the villa is also well placed for day trips. Arezzo is around 29 km away and offers antiques markets, museums, shops, and excellent dining. Cortona, with its Etruscan roots and sweeping views over the Valdichiana, is approximately 48 km away. Further afield, guests can explore Gubbio, Perugia, and Montepulciano, all ideal for full or half-day excursions.
The surrounding countryside is perfect for walking, cycling, and scenic drives through rolling hills, vineyards, and woodland. This less-touristy part of Tuscany is especially appealing for guests seeking space, authenticity, and beautiful landscapes without busy roads or heavy traffic.
