“Vecchio Asilo” Hotel heritage
In 1232, the wealthy Mangeri family from San Gimignano built a prestigious home on the highest hill in the village of Ulignano. In October 1936, Count Paolo Guicciardini transformed this tower house into a nursery school. The nursery was run by the Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Antignano, with the Guicciardini Farm in Cusona providing all its facilities, staff, and management. The building not only housed the nursery but also included a workshop for women’s crafts, such as sewing, embroidery, and decoration, and served as a vocational training school. It also housed a medical and surgical clinic for the residents of the Borgo di Ulignano. Over the years, it was transformed into a historic hotel, and in 2020 it was purchased and renovated by the Giachi family, owners of several wineries throughout Tuscany, including Tenuta Torciano.
