A single, winding road amidst lush green valleys, wavering its way through the ups and downs of the slopes, and coming to rest upon a cottage in the middle of nowhere – this is the Monteverdi Tuscany. When Cioffi bought this country home in 2003, he hired the famous Ilaria Miani to reinvent the interiors, staying true to its medieval roots yet with a hint of luxury. Today, the Monteverdi Tuscany stands as a lavish retreat and boutique hotel, named after the Italian composer Claudio Monteverdi, and attracting visitors from all over the globe.
