About this property

EXCLUSIVE 8BR-9BA VILLA WITH POOL A FEW MINS FROM TOWN, YET IN THE COUNTRYSIDE!

Set within a 3-acre private estate, this magnificent 7BR – 8BA Villa dates back to the XVI century and enjoys the most amazing views across the Tuscan landscape filled with olive groves and cypresses.

The strategical position of the property nestled on the hills right above Florence, allows guests to both comfortably reach the city centre (only about 6 miles away) with its unique cultural attractions and at the same time enjoy the benefits of the Tuscan countryside with its plentiful options for rest and complete privacy.

Whether in summer cooling off in the private pool or in winter chilling in front of the fireplace, this charming estate offers a unique opportunity to experience Tuscany at it´s best, all year long with family and friends!

About the Property.
The property has been in the family since five generations. As a result of various successions it belonged to the Bardi´s a feudal and noble family of bankers relatives of the Medici´s, to then return to the Vespucci´s - descendant of the great Amerigo until 1820.
Since then, the historic estate has preserved its original wonderful characteristics and authentic Tuscan charm, whilst undergoing a complete renovation and careful restoration phase considering all modern comforts and facilities. Each room has been tastefully furnished and decorated with the finest local materials handmade by Florentine artisans.
The extensive secluded grounds ensure privacy and feature walking paths across roses and olive groves, from which excellent Olive Oil is produced every year (guests are welcome to taste it upon arrival). Perfectly kept at all times, the park offers multiple seating areas for al fresco dining and it is ideal for outdoor summer banquets.

The structure.
Spreading over a surface of about 7,500 square feet, with its 8 charmingly decorated bedrooms and 9 bathrooms, the property can comfortably accomodate up to 16 guests and it is composed of two buildings: the main Villa and the Guest House.

Structure of the Villa.

One of the greatest assets of the villa is its location.

Perfection in every way
The saying "pictures don't do it justice" applies here. The Villa far exceeded every expectation we had. The Villa itself is perfectly appointed with every amenity and luxury. Fully stocked, clean and well maintained while retaining all its copious historical significance. Every bedroom and bathroom are a tasteful and thoughtfully designed delight, every need met, right down to towel warmers. Linens are lovely and plentiful. The Villas kitchen is a historical treasure and a modern chefs delight with everything you could ever need. All other living areas, inside and out, are perfectly appointed, comfortable and fully functional. We were a party of 12 and rented both the Villa and guesthouse. We loved every minute we were there and even cancelled plans one day to simply enjoy the Villa and walk the beautiful grounds. Bianca was wonderful prior, during and after our stay. So gracious and welcoming and a wealth of information. Bianca even helped make some local calls for us to arrange services. We also used many of her local recommendations for Chef, Driver, and others; each one was an incredible joy to work with. We simply could not have loved our time at the Villa more. Each day and evening were spent in comfort, luxury and delight. We went in Nov/Dec so we didn't get to enjoy the stunning pool areas. We cannot wait to go back in the warmer months. This place is a treasure and experience you cannot afford to miss.

Wonderful Tuscan experience
The villa was beautifully restored, Bianca and Andrea were very welcoming. Bianca gladly helped us with some excursions on our off days. Antonella, one of the preferred chefs was also wonderful, we have never eaten better. Would highly recommend!!

Great times in Tuscany
Just came back from a fantastic trip to the Tuscany region. The property was as advertised! Our host Bianca was great and very attentive. She is extremely sweet and truly cares if you enjoy your time while visiting. The villa is roughly 20/25 minutes from Florence which is convenient. At times finding a taxi can be a challenge. Having said that, it always worked out in the end. If you are looking for a great spot look no more. We only wish we had a few more days in the area. Next time!

Incredible Tuscany Experience
First, Andrea & Bianca could not be more welcoming and nice. Amazing hosts. The property is extraordinary. An amazing combination of old and new. We had 4 couples and then 3 other adults and all had rooms we loved. Each room has wonderful updated showers. Some said they didn't want to get out of the shower. LOL. The views from some of the rooms are spectacular. With windows open, the fresh air and the sounds of Tuscan nature (roosters gently woke some of us each morning) are indescribable. (I posted a picture of my bedroom view and people thought it was a photograph. We sat outside every night for after-dinner cocktails and it was warm enough to use the pool a couple of the days late Sept. Pool is also modern and relaxing. Any and all kitchen utensils were available, spices for cooking etc. We took advantage of their recommendation for a private chef (Alessio) for 2 of the nights and both experiences were delightful, including wine they included. One important point, not a criticism. Ville Le Colline is in the heart of Tuscany and many great destinations are accessible. Arezzo, Cortona, Sienna, Pienza, San Gimignano, Montepulciano...even Cinque Terre. Only 30 mins to center of Florence. BUT....we highly recommend a driver as getting in/out of Ville Le Colline is not easy if you don't know these roads. Tommaso was a suggestion from Bianca and he was perfetto! If you are looking for a true Tuscan experience, Ville Le Colline will not disappoint.

Villa Colline
The Villa is a very stately, beautiful and well taken care of by the family through the years. This was a celebration of our family/friends, as we are all celebrating milestone birthdays. As I stood in front of the mirror which was veined with age, in our bedroom, I was reminded the resiliency of time through the years! It gave the time we spent together as family/friends a greater perspective. The bathrooms have been beautifully updated. The kitchen is plentiful with houseware to feed the many guests, many courses! The hosts, Bianca and Andrea, were exceptionally responsive when asked/texted questions to guide us during our stay. Our only issue was air conditioning, which was exasperated by the high temperatures of 100 degrees during our stay. Both Bianca and Andrea were as responsive and attentive, as possible with the issue as it was not something they had control of with the high temperature or the lack of responsiveness in getting parts to fix. They made special efforts to continue to support us with fans, homemade apple cake and pesto for our meals. We also utilized the chef Antonella and her accomplice for two meals, and they were sensational! I will never eat lasagna again without remembering the best ever she created! Her creations are heavenly and not to be missed! This was a true memorable stay at the Villa and one that no one will ever forget…with stories to be shared for generations of our travels within Italy from this incredible Villa with amazing hosts!
