 I Parigi is an bed & breakfast which offers its guests the experience of staying in a historical 14th Century ambiance, amidst the Tuscan hills yet only a few minutes away from the city centre. The tranquil and homely atmosphere is perfect for those who are looking to experience the art and culture that only a city like Florence can provide while knowing that only a few minutes away they can "get away from it all". |
 I Parigi is a complex of buildings the oldest dating back to the 14th Century. The medieval tower was constructed in this strategic position on the crest of the hill, for the military control of the surrounding territory. From 1427 this fortified residence was the home of Tommaso Corbinelli, son of Parigi, whose coat of arms can still be seen above the doors. |
 In 1482 Lorenzo di Parigi Corbinelli offered the water of his wells to the neighboring monks of the Certosa, who still today use it to irrigate their vegetable gardens. At the beginning of the 16th Century the house passed into the habds of the Antinori family, who transformed its military functions to more rural activities in particular the production of wine, olive oil and forage. It is from this period that the annex buildings were constructed labourers. |
 The house has belonged since 1918 to the Salvadori family, the present owners, who keep alive the tradition of making wine and olive oil and turned the house into a bed and breakfast in 1997. Luigi, the owner is pleased to show the guests the small cellar and let them taste the genuine products of his work. His sons Guido and Marco will welcome you upon arrival. |
