The idea we want to share.

In starting this adventure, parallel to our family winery La Togata, in Montalcino, the homeland of Brunello, we wanted to celebrate to the fullest the facets of luxury and the pleasure of life. And we did it with Love!

We have tried to create special settings that give a spiritual and physical synergy to our Guests, Couples or groups of Friends, letting your imagination fly through a sea of pleasant sensations. A break from everyday life that we wish you unforgettable.

Not only the typical Tuscan hospitality, with all its colours, flavours and fragrances, but above all an intimate feeling of happiness, relaxation and contentment that you will carry home with you. Emotions we will share with you again every time you return.

S. Angelo in Colle finds its documented origins as far back as 715 AD: that is the date of the document between the Diocese of Siena and that of Arezzo over the dominion of S. Angelo in Colle. In an absolutely strategic dominant position, above the confluence of the Orcia and the Ombrone, in 1208 it came under the rule of the Sienese Republic.

After being a fief of the Salimbeni family in 1282, it then became a possession of the ancient Tolomei family, which traces its line to the Ptolemaic dynasty of the Sovereigns of ancient Egypt.

The founder of the dynasty was Ptolemy I (367–283 BC) who, after the death of Alexander the Great, was appointed Governor of Egypt. In 305 BC he proclaimed himself King of Egypt, and the Egyptians happily accepted the Ptolemies as successors of the Pharaohs — until the defeat by Octavian, in 30 BC, of Cleopatra, the last Ptolemaic Queen of Egypt.

The Tolomei arrived in Tuscany at the time of the conquest of the Lombard Kingdom, in the wake of Charlemagne. In the city of Siena the Tolomei were the first to distinguish themselves in the art of exchange, becoming a powerful family of bankers and merchants.

Dante Alighieri also mentions the noblewoman Pia de' Tolomei in the Divine Comedy (Purgatorio, Canto V, 130–136). Among the numerous fiefdoms of the Tolomei was S. Angelo in Colle, where during the fourteenth century they built, inside the circular ring of walls, a great fortified residence known as the “Palatium Tolomei”. Walled above its entrance portal there still survives one of the oldest coats of arms in pietra serena, with three rising crescents bearing witness to the family's part in the first three Crusades in the Holy Land.
