Back to Luxury Tuscan Villas


This exclusive hamlet, just  outside Florence,  dates back to the 14th century and once belonged to an Aristocratic Florentine family and was used as a country home and a refuge from city life. The family were artists and hosted many famous artists of the time including Raffaello and Botticelli
The hamlet is made up of several buildings and is set in 30 acres of magnificent private grounds.
It has been lovingly restored and is a perfect place for a get-away with family, friends or for business. Here you can relax by the pool, try typical Tuscan products in the tasting room. Or rediscover your inner harmony and enjoy the treatments and the peaceful silence of the Spa.
Even the grounds have been carefully restored to bring back their former splendour. The idyllic Tuscan countryside of olive trees, vineyards, fields, oak and cypress trees extend for miles and provides a wonderful backdrop. This luxury property encapsulates the very best of Florentine tradition.
Each of the five spaces, that make up this property, is unique. They have all been restored with quality-driven choices of materials, even down to the finishing touches to create an elegant and refined atmosphere for guests to enjoy.
The local village is close by at 2 km and Florence city centre is just 17km.

VILLA DESCRIPTION

SLEEPS up to 37

VILLA

Original Renaissance elegance and a spacious Italian garden reinterpreted for the 21 century
The Villa has a majestic, plastered façade and windows framed in classic grey sandstone that recall the stately villas of the historic Florentine countryside. The lush gardens blend perfectly with the crystal blue waters of the ornamental pond at the foot of the Villa.
On the ground floor is a grand living room, a library/study, a spacious dining room and a large kitchen. Each space is immaculately decorated with high quality parquet or two-tone floors made of Bardiglio stone and white marble. The walls are in warm pastel colours and embellished with refined trompe-l'œil that recall geometric profiles and mouldings, that match the ceilings in the rooms on this floor.
The bedrooms are upstairs. Each has its own marble bathroom with windows that overlook the grounds and with views to the surrounding countryside. The walls are painted bianco calce – a warm white, while the wooden floors are made of antique oak. Each room has its own unique identity.
An ancient dovecot has been transformed into one of the most fascinating and exclusive rooms in the Villa. A large window frames the view of the Certosa of Florence and in the distance you can even see the unmistakable Duomo (Cathedral) in central Florence

The outdoor spaces have been designed to be a continuation of the indoor spaces and are spacious.
From the barbecue to the small wood-fired oven, the spaces are ideal for gathering and enjoying time together.

Last but not least is the Villa dependence, which was originally the Limonaia, or lemon house – with its large, arched windows from which the warm light of the Florentine countryside floods the rooms.

  • Villa - 5 King/Twin bedrooms
  • Villa Dependance (Limonaia)  - 1 King/Twin bedroom
  • King Size or Twin Beds
  • Luxurious Marble Bathrooms with Rain Showers or Bath Tubs
  • Bath Essentials, slippers, bathrobes, hairdryer and luxurious amenities

FATTORIA

Where some of the greatest renaissance artists lived and walked
The building adjoining the Villa is the Fattoria. These two buildings are the original core of the property.
From here, there is private access to the chapel, where the beautiful fresco by Ridolfo del Ghirlandaio can  be admired. The dining room and living room feature vaulted ceilings uncovered during the restoration. They are made of terracotta tiles from Impruneta and highlight the remarkable craftsmanship of the Renaissance builders 500 years ago. From the east-facing rooms, there are breath taking views.

  • 4 Bedrooms - 2 King/Twin, 1 Queen, 1 Single
  • Luxurious Marble Bathrooms with Rain Showers or Bath Tubs

BOTTEGA

The mastery of the artisan workers of the past meets the innovation the present
Opposite the Fattoria is the Bottega.  A building that has best conserved the style and characteristics of a typical Tuscan “country house”. It features terracotta floors, stone fireplaces, exposed wood beams. A stately wooden truss lies above the large living room. A piece of high engineering made by the skilled hands of the master craftsmen of the past.
In addition to the spacious living room, dining room and functional kitchen, this building boasts two bedrooms – one master and one double – each with private bathroom and wardrobe. From the windows, as well as from the private garden, the beautiful Duomo of Florence frames the backdrop.

  • 2 King/Twin bedrooms 
  • King Size or Twin Beds
  • Luxurious Marble Bathrooms with Rain Showers or Bath Tubs
  • Bath Essentials, slippers, bathrobes, hairdryer and luxurious amenities

FRANTOIO

From original olive press to haven of peace and privacy
The Frantoio is still used today, just as it was 500 years ago, to produce an estate oil of absolute excellence that enriches our cuisine and the delicacy of our dishes.
Frantoio has a living area on the ground floor that leads outside to the entrance – a loggia with two arches – leading out to the gardens and an open-air courtyard, which is cosy and reserved and at the centre of the building.
The entrance hall features chestnut-wood flooring made from unused beams, along with charming slight imperfections that make this natural environment even warmer and more inviting. The whitewashed walls juxtapose the roughness of the rustic back panels, in harmony with the old fireplace made of Pietra forte stone with detailing in grey sandstone.
The family crests hang from the central stone door frame and include a shield with three garlands and a shield with a courageous knight holding a bigordo (a spear used during games or tournaments).
Passing to the adjacent hall that houses the grande sala – or “main room” – the breadth and harmony of the spaces are impressive. There is a private inner courtyard with a wood oven, that can be enjoyed in cookery lessons/ experiences. Two other rooms face the courtyard, a bedroom and a study, separate from the rest of the house.

  • 3 Bedrooms - 2 King/Twin, 1 Single
  • Extra King/Twin bedroom and bathroom in the dependance
  • Luxurious Marble Bathrooms with Rain Showers or Bath Tubs

The Studio has its own private garden, just like the other apartments.

Large and inviting, the elongated pool is surrounded by pristine greenery alternating with olive trees and fruit trees. Two small islands with orange trees stand in the centre, creating a fascinating ambiance.


RESTAURANT

What was once an original barn is now La Locanda restaurant. Here you can have breakfast or simply relax over a glass of wine or to sip an espresso while reading the newspaper, chatting with friends old and new.
