The history of this building can start from the original statue on one corner of the medieval hall representing an infant; in fact the house was borned as an “Hospitale”, as testify later in documents dated 1434. Pilgrims used to get assistance and refuge during their religious trip.
The development and the importance of the agriculture was the beginning of the modification of the property into a Manor House; owned by the Minucci family, it became very important during these years controlling and managing the production of 24 farms around the Chianti area.
Very often power and culture run together; nobles, dukes, rich and aristocratic people started to frequent this ambiance giving that certain charm and touch still alive in all the rooms and common spaces. Marble words sculptured remind the presence of the Archduke of Tuscany Leopoldo II, from the Lorena family, in 1837 and , closer to our century, the stay of the Prince of Italy, Umberto of Savoy, in 1945.
After the last descendant departure, few years ago, the all house was bought by another Tuscan family and became, after really a detailed renovation and keeping as much as possible the original structure and furniture, one of the kind House in the Chianti region.
Situated in Radda in Chianti, hill town that has remained unaltered in its medieval charm, M11628 is a patrician villa where history, art and modern comforts meet to provide that certain old-world touch. Accurate service and warm welcoming: Palazzo Leopoldo's rooms and suites offer sophisticated elegance in historical ambient, together with original frescoes, “cotto” floors and fireplaces; excellent choice for exclusive meetings or events too.
