History of Villa di Meleto

The Villa di Meleto is a historic noble villa that passed into the possession of the Ridolfi family in 1569. It was made famous by the Marchese Cosimo Ridolfi (1794-1865), one of the leading figures in the Risorgimento of Tuscany in the 19th century. He was a member of numerous associations and learned societies, was Minister of State during the Revolution of 1848 and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Tuscany from 1859 to 1860.

Ridolfi archives
On his Meleto estate, Cosimo Ridolfi founded Italy's first agricultural institute in 1834, in which agricultural innovations in the form of new equipment and cultivation methods were researched, tested and put into use. Up to 30 students were enrolled in the Scuola Agraria di Meleto and completed a theoretically and practically guided study of modern agriculture.
The great success gained by the Meleto School led the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Leopold II, to establish in 1840 a chair dedicated to agriculture and sheep-farming at the University of Pisa, entrusting it to Cosimo Ridolfi. This chair was the first step of today’s Faculty of Agriculture, the first one ever in the world. Before this, inside the main villa, Cosimo Ridolfi and his estate manager Agostino Testaferrata invented new irrigation methods in the 1820s, the so-called Sistemazione a spina. It is a system of ditches that prevented the erosion of the hilly soil and achieved the even distribution of the fertile soil. The sistemazione a spina name - is derived from the herringbone pattern that can be seen from afar when looking at the hill.
The institute’s main strength was alternation between studying and working, so as to let students learn the secrets of agriculture by performing the same tasks as farmers. The Villa’s archives are of great cultural importance as they hold important records of this time period, which was fundamental for the technological and scientific development of modern agriculture. The archive is located in a room inside the main villa and contains all of Ridolfi’s records and collections, such as his butterflies and waxed fruits. Visits to the archive room can be arranged in advance.

Future projects
Villa Meleto was purchased by the new owner Carmencita in 2020. Her plan is to fully renovate the main villa and transform it into a hotel with 17 suites. There will also be a spa and wellness area within the villa itself. Carmencita is also taking steps to open up an educational program for neurodivergent students. This program will run during the academic year in a separate part of the Villa. The idea is for the students to be involved in the day to day care of the farm and learn the various techniques needed to make specific products from what is grown or produced on the Villa Meleto estate. One example is essential oils made from our lavender. We also have various farm animals at the Villa, donkeys, goats, chickens, ducks and rabbits. These animals are going to be involved in our neuro diversity program, but can also be visited and enjoyed by our guests, especially those with children.

Perfect stay

The hunter house was the perfect stay for our family of five, including three teenagers. Carmellita and her daughter Michaela are the most gracious and caring hosts, helping us out with everything we needed. Villa Meleto is beautiful, with walking paths, statues, history, and the typical Tuscan scenery. The location of Castelfiorentino is central to all the popular Tuscany towns, and the train in town takes you everywhere within an hour or less. We highly recommend this stay!

Charming and Quiet Countryside

Villa Meleto is on a quiet hill in the countryside. We were the only guests which made it easy to let the kids run around without concerns. Once we arrived Carmencita answered all questions quickly and gave us a tour of the property that is under renovation. She has lots of plans in the works and I am looking forward to coming back in the future to see how it all turns out! The history of the Villa is fascinating!

Urlaub

Die Ferienwohnung war sauber und in Ordnung. Für Ausflüge nach Pisa, Florenz, Lucca...super gelegen. Die Auffahrt ist abenteuerlich, da der Weg über Schotter und eine kaputte Straße zur Anlage führt. Nichts für tiefergelegte Fahrzeuge ;-)... Unser Aufenthalt dauerte 13 Nächte. Der Weg zum Pool ging ca. 300 m über unbefestigten Fußweg. Ausblick jedoch umwerfend. Anlage ringsherum etwas ungepflegt. Die Bilder im Internet entsprechen nicht mehr ganz der Wahrheit. Alles in allem war es ein schöner Aufenthalt. Die jungen Leute, welche die Ansprechpartner waren, waren immer sehr freundlich.

A very Unique and Special Place

Really enjoyed it. Lovely views, wonderful owners, peaceful, atmosphere, really beautiful gardens, yet a down to earth kind of place. You should definitely check out the website or talk to the owners about their vision for what they are going to do with this property. It’s pretty special. The rental properties are not what you would call a luxury property, but are quite comfortable and authentic. There will eventually be a luxury property on this site in addition to these rentals, it looks like it is going to be amazing – I look forward to going back and checking that out as well
