A touch of Tuscany in
Middle Tennessee
Tamara Hassel and Esther Zaccone are the innkeepers at “Tuscany Inn Tennessee”. They are 2 retired elementary physical and music education teachers from Tampa, FL. Over 20 years ago, they both shared a dream to find land in Tennessee that looked like Tuscany, Italy, one of their favorite locales. In summer of 2008, they journeyed to Tuscany, Italy, specifically the Chianti area. When they returned, they visited friends in Tennessee and on a whim, found the perfect plot of land to anchor their dream. To their delight, it looked just like Chianti in Tuscany! “Tuscany Inn Tennessee” was born! Their vision is to serve people delicious food and a relaxing atmosphere, providing a place to get away from the stress and hustle & bustle of city and everyday life. With “Tuscany Inn Tennessee”, their vision of a quiet, rustic, elegant place in the country to get away from it all is complete.
We look forward to serving and pampering you!

Guest Reviews
What a wonderful reprieve in the middle of a long drive from Mississippi to NYC. Esther and Tamara have created a beautiful space that makes you feel like you actually are in Italy. Communication was great, their dogs were adorable and so friendly, the surroundings were out of this world, and the hot tub was heavenly. Our only regrets: 1) not having more time to spend there and 2) missing out on the menu since we stayed on a night the kitchen was not open. 10/10 recommend, we hope to be back!
This place is GORGEOUS. The room, the spectacular views, and wonderful property were just gorgeous. Tamara and Esther were so sweet and honestly thought of everything you might need in airbnb and then some. We loved staying in The Grande with the private hottub and balcony. If you stay here you MUST make a reservation for dinner because it was absolutely delicious. I can’t say enough about it! We will definitely be back!
This is an amazing place to get away! My wife and I were in need of a night away from kids and work and just our everyday. You know how it is work, sports, teenagers, house work sleep and repeat with what feels like no end in sight. So I found the listing late at night and was able to get it the next day and check in early. The room was perfect for us to just relax. We were greeted when we got there and showed around. The meal that they prepared for us was wait for it…. legendary! The pork chop was cooked to perfection and the green beans and potatoes were the best I’ve ever had. I don’t even like sweet potatoes but, I cleaned my plate. I could have just eaten the homemade bread by itself and been happy. They got comfy beds, bath robes, hot tubs, coffee and cannolis oh my! If your looking for a place to get away and want to meet some amazing people that had a brilliant idea that turned into a beautiful place then this is for you. We will definitely be going back.
