Lusso Verde is a groundbreaking, sustainable luxury development situated on a picturesque hilltop in San Miniato, Tuscany. We are following the footsteps of great people like Napoleon, Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo who all have visited San Miniato, strategic located between Firenze, Pisa, Siena and Lucca. The total project counts 240 hectares of land, one wine and olive farm, an adult only resort with restaurant, spa and equestrian facilities.
This visionary project combines a state-of-the-art winery, olive mill (frantoio), and high class sustainable hospitality, with a world-class design restaurant, culinary school, and an underground vertical farm supported and financed through a single estate underground supplement factory getting it’s ingredients from the more than 200 hectares estate in the heart of Italy.
Lusso Verde not only represents the pinnacle of sustainable luxury but also embraces the cultural and spiritual heritage of Tuscany by integrating the historic pilgrim road, the Via Francigena, into its estate.
Our goal is to make Lusso Verde an agricultural paradise for regenerative agriculture, as close to be 100% self-sustainable regarding integrated hospitality.
We want to offer our guests the best quality of sustainable living possible with all the luxury possible to give from nature itself.
This is ambitious project, in collaboration with local and national resources, aims to transform several historical properties into a beacon of sustainable farming practices.
Through innovative agricultural methods, job creation, carbon neutrality initiatives, and support for the Via Francigena pilgrimage route, Lusso Verde is set to make a positive impact on local communities, the environment, and the agricultural sector in Italy and globally.
A visit to Lusso Verde shall make everlasting footprints in all visitors’ lives.
Main Parts of Lusso Verde
EcoTourism with design winery, olive mill and world-class restaurants
At Lusso Verde our main activity is to develop a 5 star ecotourism location, setting the new standard for what you should expect from a high end experience.
We fell down on San Miniato, a place with a rich and long history, playing an important role on the border between Pisa and Firenze, just a few kilometers away from the birthplace of Leonardo da Vinci, Dante Alighieri and the whole Renaissance, a period in history and a cultural movement marking the transition from the Middle Ages to modernity, covering the 15th and 16th centuries and characterized by an effort to revive and surpass the ideas and achievements of classical antiquity; it occurred after the crisis of the Late Middle Ages and was associated with great social change in most fields and disciplines, including art, architecture, politics, literature, exploration and science.
EcoFarming with Regenerative Agriculture Research Center (RAR)
The Lusso Verde Regenerative Agriculture Research (RAR) Center stands at the forefront of sustainable agriculture, embodying a commitment to pioneering eco-innovative farming practices. Nestled in a landscape rich in biodiversity, the RAR Center serves as a hub for advancing regenerative agriculture techniques, aimed at restoring soil health, enhancing ecosystem diversity, and promoting sustainable food production.
With state-of-the-art facilities, the center conducts cutting-edge research and development, integrating scientific knowledge with traditional farming wisdom.
RAR will be a beacon of sustainability, demonstrating how agricultural practices can harmoniously coexist with nature, fostering a healthier planet. At the heart of the RAR Center’s mission is the vision of a future where farming not only provides nutritious food but also plays a crucial role in environmental stewardship, making it a vital contributor to global ecological balance and a leader in the agricultural renaissance.
We are developing a new exclusive extra virgin olive oil concept not found anywhere else globally and the oil will be harvested from more than 40.000 local olive trees.
The combination of our biological farming using a unique biostimulant that strengthens our olive trees, combined with a new production method that increases the level of flavonoids and volume of oil, make our production unique in volume, health benefits and income.
The Lusso Verde Extra Virgin Olive Oil DOP will also be an important ingredient in a unique skincare and supplement series to be produced on the property. In addition we will produce biological wine, honey, fruits and vegetables at the property.
We plan to start evaluating agriculture drones to spray seaweed and probiotic based biostimulants on vegetables, wine and olive plants. This project starts spring 2025.
Lusso Verde Academy
As a central part of the Lusso Verde project is to find a campus for our academy.
Lusso Verde has it’s basis in the ideas of a holistic approach combining agriculture with aquaculture, coming from deep ecology concepts like those of professor Arne Næss.
A central part of this is the Chief Nature Officer education developed by the EcoSpera Academy, a central part of the EcoSpera Venture Co-operative, a cooperative owned by Spera SRL, which also developed the Lusso Verde concept.
