Unique and extraordinary pearls with a modern design, kept in the treasure chest of an ancient medieval village. A perfect synergy aimed at preserving the charm and characteristics of ancient architecture, without compromising the comforts and conveniences of everyday life. Spacious spaces for a unique relaxation, a complete escape from the ordinary.

The fortified village of Oliveto was founded around the year 1385, during the Florentine Republic's rule over Arezzo and its territory. Unlike the rest of the Valdichiana, which was still marshy and malarial, the land of Oliveto was "healthy and fertile," as the Florentines liked to call it. The governor of the village, driven by the Florentine Guelfs, fortified the defensive walls with two lookout towers.

The presence of the Saracini family, now only visible in the heraldic emblems outside the gate of the Oliveto castle, has deeply marked the history of the village. Despite the difficulties faced by the Ghibelline faction in Arezzo, members of the Saracini family obtained prominent positions in the Papal State and high offices in the service of the Marquises of Ferrara.

The B&B Fondaco del Moro has decided to recover the coat of arms of the ancient Saracini family as a symbol of the structure, thus honoring the history and heritage of the village. We invite you to discover this small historic and modern gem, where ancient charm meets contemporary comfort. Also, don't miss the opportunity to visit the Oliveto cemetery, just outside the village, and pay tribute to the tomb of Muriel Spark, the writer who, inspired by the beauty of the place, left an indelible mark in 20th-century literature.
