History of the Villa

In the 11th century, Montartino was a watchtower defending the Ema valley that was the trade route for products coming from the Chianti area to Florence. As the power of Florence grew the area around Montartino was gradually transformed into Noblemen's villas and farms.


At the end of the 14th century the Montartino tower became a large building known as "Chiuso dei Malefici". In 1427, it was described in official documents as: "... a small farm in San Felice a Ema, with residences for Noblemen and farmers, with vineyards, fruit orchards and olive groves...".

During the 16th century, Montartino obtained its currentcharacteristics through restoration after centuries of improper use and neglect. To highlight the historical use of the buildings, the latest restoration emphasises the beautiful medieval gate and the imposing ramparts that have been kept intact over the centuries.
