History

A historical dwelling dating back to the 13th century, it began life as an inn and became an exclusive place for poets, nobles and rulers to stay and make agreements. Its name often resonates in historical texts concerning the Guidi Counts, in this case Guelfo Guidi, for agreements with the Malatesta and Sforza families, families who were enemies of the then Florentine rulers, the Medici.
It then benefited from several renovations over the centuries, until, around the beginning of the 19th century, the current façade gave the structure its current Renaissance style, becoming in fact a dwelling for civil use.
During the Second World War, its cellars, which now house one of the rooms of the Restaurant, gave hospitality to several inhabitants of the valley, acting as a shelter during the bombardments, as it is in fact known this area was part of the Gothic Line district.
In 2011, following an accurate internal redevelopment and respecting its original characteristics, the current owners decided to give a second life to the initial use of the building… an Inn in the centre of the small town of Tredozio.
In 2019 Locanda Guelfo joins the Touring Club family, a symbol of excellence in hotel and restaurant hospitality, and shines on the national hospitality scene.

The family

United by a great passion for hospitality, they decided to embark on this challenging yet exciting adventure together: Giovanni and Michele in the kitchen, creating innovative and sophisticated dishes, and Patrizia in hotel hospitality that stands out for its care and kindness.
Patrizia is the attentive hostess, pleased to offer you a stay of tranquillity, good taste and pampering, and to introduce you to the magnificent cultural and natural itineraries to be discovered in the surrounding area, amidst age-old holm-oak and chestnut forests, medieval fortresses and Renaissance palaces.
Authenticity, respect, commitment, energy and, above all, passion: these are the keys to success, leading, with the passage of time, to the first and appreciation from local customers and gradually to national and international connotations.
In 2019, at the end of his studies in Milan, driven by a strong passion for cooking and his country of origin, his son Michele joined the Locanda’s kitchen, bringing new ideas but always linked to local tradition.
Personalities from the national and international entertainment world have often been guests at the Locanda.
In 2019, at the end of his studies in Milan, driven by a strong passion for cooking and his country of origin, his son Michele joined the Locanda’s kitchen, bringing new ideas but always linked to local tradition to the Locanda’s restaurant.
