Our History, our Roots

In 1951, on the hills between Florence and Fiesole near San Domenico, the CISL Training Study Centre was founded. From its very beginnings, CISL chose to invest in the cultural and professional development of its staff, leaders, and operators, in order to strengthen and promote its founding values: autonomy, pragmatism, pluralism, democracy, and participation.

Those who encounter it leave a part of themselves here and, inevitably, return.

From this “place of the soul,” which over time has embodied the extraordinary vision of the “new trade union,” thousands of people have passed through—many of whom went on to become key figures in Italian social and industrial life. A unique space for relationships, study, and dialogue, the Study Centre combines deep-rooted traditions with a strong orientation toward the future, becoming an ideal point of reference for national and international associations, institutions, and universities. Those who encounter it leave a part of themselves here and, inevitably, return.

Location

The CISL Training Study Centre enjoys a commanding position overlooking the city, the “cradle of the Renaissance,” and is surrounded by the greenery of the Florentine hills, within an area of approximately 28,000 square meters, home to over 100 centuries-old olive trees, just a short distance from the historic centers of Florence and Fiesole.

For those who stay here, the view is extraordinary, and the sense of calm that welcomes visitors creates the ideal environment for study and training experiences.

The facility, its setting, and its exclusive services offer multiple opportunities for anyone seeking an ideal location for an individual or group study stay.

Accommodation

We offer 54 rooms with private bathrooms, all equipped with hairdryer, air conditioning, refrigerator, TV, and safe. Complimentary Wi-Fi access is available throughout the property.

Some of our rooms overlook the hills of Fiesole, while others face the 19th-century villa that serves as the entrance to the complex.

Catering

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served in our self-service restaurant. Upon request, it is possible to organize table-served meals with special menus, buffets, and coffee breaks.

A bar service can be activated according to the needs of ongoing events, while vending machines offering hot drinks, soft drinks, and water are always available.
