Dimora Torricella | 20-Bedroom Villa in Impruneta (FI) Metropolitan Ci

Imagine orchestrating a gathering of thirty-seven people across five interconnected Renaissance buildings, each with its own character, all within sight of Florence’s duomo. This is the scale of luxury villa rental in Impruneta (FI) that Dimora Torricella offers—a sprawling 14th-century estate where the challenge isn’t finding space, but rather deciding which of the five structures becomes your gathering hub.

Inside Dimora Torricella

Dimora Torricella sleeps 37 guests across 20 bedrooms and 18 bathrooms distributed throughout the main villa, farmhouse, gallery, olive press building, and studio. The architecture itself tells the story: this was once the family seat of a celebrated Renaissance artist, later refined through generations to blend historical authenticity with contemporary hospitality standards.

The Main Villa (sleeps 10) forms the estate’s heart. Ground level unfolds into a grandiose living room with original proportions, a secondary sitting area for intimate conversations, and a dining room that can table the entire household. The kitchen here pulses with professional-grade equipment—the kind of culinary workspace that transforms reluctant cooks into enthusiastic dinner volunteers. A guest powder room, one king-bedded suite with attached bathroom, and direct access to the private garden complete this floor. Ascend to the first level and discover three additional king-bedded bedrooms, each with ensuite marble bathrooms. The second floor houses another king suite, while the dependence wing adds sleeping capacity. The basement holds the crown jewel: a spa sanctuary containing a jacuzzi, dedicated treatment room, sauna, and steam bath.

The Farmhouse (sleeps 7) opens with a shared chapel—a rare amenity that speaks to the estate’s spiritual heritage. The ground floor flows from this sacred space through a living room, combined dining and sitting area, and a fully appointed kitchen. Two king-bedded chambers on the first floor each feature showers and separate WCs. A queen room and a single bedroom complete the accommodation, both with ensuite facilities.

The Gallery (sleeps 4) operates as a self-contained retreat. An expansive living room merges with dining space, anchored by a full kitchen. Two king-bedded bedrooms—one with rainfall shower, one with traditional bath—each command their own ensuite. A small private garden offers secluded outdoor moments.

The Olive Press Building (sleeps 7) preserves its industrial heritage in the ground-floor layout: entrance hall, fully equipped kitchen, living and dining rooms positioned to capture views across the property’s 30 hectares. One king-bedded suite with ensuite shower opens onto a private courtyard and terraced garden. The first floor contains two additional king rooms with ensuite showers, plus a single bedroom, creating flexible accommodation for mixed-age groups.

The Studio (sleeps 7) combines living and dining in one generous space that flows to a private garden. The kitchen handles independent catering. Three bedrooms occupy the upper floors: one king suite on the first level shares an ensuite with a single bedroom, while the second floor provides two additional king chambers, each with private shower rooms.

Throughout these five buildings, a consistent standard emerges: substantial beds (predominantly king-sized), marble bathrooms with both rainfall and traditional fixtures, and antique furnishings that anchor each room in Tuscan history. All spaces feature Wi-Fi, climate control, televisions, and safety deposit boxes. Five cots and high chairs are available upon request, signaling genuine family accommodation rather than adult-only luxury.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The grounds surrounding Dimora Torricella deserve equal attention to the interiors. Thirty hectares unfold as a curated landscape—manicured lawns transition into working vineyards, then ancient olive groves, with natural woodland marking the property’s outer edges. A private lake sits within this terrain, creating focal points for morning walks or afternoon reflection.

The main swimming pool spans 20 meters by 8 meters, positioned to capture southern exposure and views across the Chianti hills. A secondary pool provides alternative swimming options. Around both pools, terraces function as stages for the outdoor life: morning coffee watching light break across the valleys, lunch gathered under parasols, evening aperitivi as the sun descends behind distant ridgelines.

A helipad indicates the scale of this operation—helicopter transfer capability for arriving guests. Tesla destination charging stations cater to modern electric vehicle users. The belvedere lawn accommodates ceremonies, wedding receptions, or large group activities with sight lines toward Florence.

The spa and fitness center operates as a dedicated wellness sanctuary: jacuzzi for therapeutic soaking, sauna for deep detoxification, Turkish bath combining heat and moisture, massage areas for professional bodywork, and a hydrotherapy shower equipped with chromotherapy and aromatherapy functions. This infrastructure converts the estate from a rental venue into a genuine retreat space where guests can arrive stressed and depart renewed.

Location: Impruneta (FI) and the Surrounding Area

Impruneta (FI) occupies a remarkable position in Tuscany’s geography: rural enough to feel genuinely removed from urban noise, yet positioned only 2 kilometers from Florence’s southern edge. This proximity proves revelatory for guests seeking cultural access without residential chaos.

The town of Impruneta itself maintains medieval character centered around production of hand-fired cotto tiles—the distinctive terracotta used in the Duomo’s famous roof. Visiting the tile workshops provides both commerce and education; collectors can acquire authentic pieces with centuries of tradition embedded in their manufacture.

Florence city center, the overwhelming cultural achievement of Western civilization, lies entirely within a 15-minute drive. The Uffizi Gallery, Accademia (home to Michelangelo’s David), Florence Cathedral, and the Ponte Vecchio cluster within walking distance once downtown. The artist Michelangelo himself reportedly stayed at this very property—a historical detail that adds dimension to morning coffee contemplation.

Siena, another UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for its Palio horse race and Gothic architecture, sits 45 kilometers south—ideal for a full-day expedition. The drive traverses the Chianti wine region, passing numerous wineries open for tastings and purchases. Chianti Classico producers like Antinori and Frescobaldi operate in the surrounding hills; wine tourism represents a legitimate activity framework for the entire stay. Olive oil producers equally merit visits; this landscape produces oils of international reputation.

Tavarnuzze, the closest town at 3 kilometers, supplies practical necessities: supermarkets, restaurants, and the rhythm of local commerce. For dining, both casual trattoria experiences and fine-dining establishments operate throughout the region. The Pratomagno mountain range northeast of the property offers hiking and biking routes through protected landscapes. The 300-acre Natural Park near Reggello, approximately 20 kilometers distant, provides organized nature experiences including bird watching and botanical study.

Regional activities span from adventurous to contemplative: hot air ballooning launches from fields outside Florence (offering sunrise perspectives of the property from above), helicopter charters connect to Tuscany’s more distant regions, scooter tours wind through village streets, golf clubs operate in the surrounding countryside, and horseback riding traditions remain active. Seasonal festivals—the Siena Palio in July and August, Florence’s various artistic events, Impruneta’s tile-related celebrations—structure the calendar.

Florence Peretola Airport (Amerigo Vespucci), approximately 12 kilometers northwest, handles European flights with roughly 30-minute transfer time by car. For international arrivals, Pisa International Airport (90 kilometers west, 90-minute transfer) or Bologna’s Guglielmo Marconi Airport (170 kilometers north) serve as alternatives.

Seasonal timing influences the experience significantly. May through June offers warm temperatures, manageable crowds, and the landscape in full spring vitality—wildflowers peak in May. September through October provides similar weather with harvest activities (grape picking, wine production) visible throughout the countryside. July and August deliver heat and maximum tourism density, suitable for guests prioritizing cultural institutions’ extended hours. November through March brings quieter villages, occasional snow on distant peaks, and profound silence—ideal for groups seeking genuine retreat rather than cultural tourism.
