 From an historical analysis we supposed that Villa Poggio ai Merli, named Villa Vitelli, was built by Vitellozzo Vitelli for its strategic position, close to: Florence, Volterra, Siena and Pisa, the XVth Century. At the end of the XVIII Century the Villa was sold to the Altoviti Sangalletti Family. This Family built the little chapel which is today the apartment "Brunelleschi". |
 At the entrance it still possible to admire their coat of arms that shows a wolf. After them the property passed to the Medici Tornaquinci Family and the lord of Napoleone Passerini, a fanatic for agriculture, owner of farms, inventor of diverse instruments for the analysis of the ground and founder of the famous school of agriculture called J.A.S... |
 In the course of the year the structure had a lot of changes of destination but it always maintained its original shape. Thanks to an expert architect and to Tuscan artisans, the present owner, revalued the artistic and environmental heritage of the Villa, and created a Relais into a natural reserve very close to Florence. |
