Set in the green heart of northern Tuscany, Podere Conti is an 83-hectare (200-acre) estate immersed in the Apennines foothills, with wide panoramic views overlooking the Magra Valley — a natural gateway between Tuscany, Liguria and Emilia.
Podere Conti is a hotel-led rural estate offering a refined form of hospitality rooted in a working organic farm. Following the Italian albergo diffuso model, the hotel is organised around a lovingly restored hamlet, with historic farm buildings gathered around an old courtyard, where rooms, shared spaces and the restaurant sit within easy walking distance of one another, recalling the rhythm and intimacy of village life. Accommodation is designed with space, warmth and quiet in mind, offering comfort in every season while remaining faithful to the character of the place.
Further details on the albergo diffuso layout, rooms and year-round hospitality can be found in the Hotel section.
At the heart of Podere Conti is an award-winning destination restaurant, recognised for its locally sourced and seasonal cuisine and close connection to the territory, supported by our certified organic farm, where ingredients and landscape come together naturally.
Guests come to Podere Conti to slow down, explore the region and reconnect with nature. On selected dates, the estate also hosts weddings and private events, valued for their sense of place, sustainability and ease of access for international guests — offering privacy, space and time for celebrations that unfold naturally, in harmony with the landscape. These events are held under full exclusivity and never overlap with regular guest stays, ensuring peace and quiet for resident guests at all times.
Around the hamlet, olive groves and open fields, animated by the quiet presence of grazing animals, give way to woodland and the ridges of the Apennines, creating a landscape where nature remains the guiding force, far from mass tourism — yet within easy reach of the coast, historic cities and international gateways.
The estate extends into the Emiliano–Tuscan National Park and lies within a UNESCO MAB Biosphere Reserve, a setting that informs our approach to hospitality, agriculture and cuisine. The estate has been awarded certification under the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism (CETS), recognising a long-term commitment to responsible practices rooted in place.
Nestled along the historic Cisa pass, Podere Conti has long been a meeting point between regions and cultures. From here, it is possible to explore the countryside, the mountains and the nearby Ligurian coast — including the Cinque Terre National Park, where the Ligurian Apennines meet the sea — before returning each evening to the quiet of the foothills.
Podere Conti is an invitation to experience Tuscany differently — grounded, generous and deeply connected to its land.
Nestled in the hills of the Apennines, the 200-acre estate stretches into the Emiliano-Tuscan National Park and offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the Magra valley in Lunigiana, the northern gateway to Tuscany.
