I Tebaldi | 8-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Reggello

Eighteen guests arrive at I Tebaldi in Reggello expecting a Tuscan villa. What they find instead is a meticulously restored Renaissance property sprawling across 300 hectares of woodland, olive groves and rolling fields—the kind of luxury villa rental Reggello is famous for, yet rarely delivers at this scale. Located in the heart of Chianti wine country, just 32km south-east of Florence and a stone’s throw from the designer outlets of The Mall, I Tebaldi operates as a private estate village where eight separate bedroom suites, each with its own en suite bathroom, accommodate multi-generational families, corporate retreats and celebration groups without anyone feeling crowded.

Inside I Tebaldi

I Tebaldi sleeps 18 guests across 8 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms distributed across two connected structures—the main villa and an adjoining restored barn, each with its own distinct character.

The Main Villa accommodates ten guests across five air-conditioned bedrooms: The first floor features three double bedrooms and two twin-convertible-to-double configurations, each appointed with individual safes, mini-bars stocked on arrival, and satellite television. Every bedroom opens onto its own en suite shower room finished in marble and equipped with hairdryers. One bedroom on this level includes an additional single bed, accommodating families with older children or adding flexibility for staff quarters.

Ground floor living spaces form the villa’s social hub: A working kitchen—genuinely equipped for culinary ambition—features commercial-grade dishwasher, dual fridge-freezers, dual ovens, microwave, espresso and American coffee machines, juicer, blender, and kettle. A separate dining room accommodates the full party of 18 around a single table. Adjacent living areas include a wood-burning fireplace and a secondary lounge, plus a guest cloakroom. The open-plan design means the person preparing dinner maintains visual and conversational contact with guests.

The Restored Barn (adjacent to the main villa) houses eight guests across three additional bedrooms: Ground floor features two bedrooms—one with a double bed, one with twin-convertible-to-double beds—each with en suite shower rooms. The first floor adds a third bedroom with double and single beds, again with en suite facilities. White-painted wooden beams meet oak parquet flooring throughout, creating a lighter, contemporary feel that contrasts deliberately with the main villa’s classical elegance. Both structures connect via a short covered walkway.

Auxiliary facilities: A dedicated fitness annexe accessed via steps from the pool terrace houses treadmill and exercise bike equipment with separate shower facilities. A four-person sauna provides post-activity recovery. Air-conditioning in all bedrooms, Wi-Fi throughout, and alarm systems ensure modern comfort within classical surroundings.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The grounds transform the villa from accommodation into a destination. An infinity-edge salt-water swimming pool measuring 7 metres by 14 metres, set at 1.4 metres depth, operates from May through September with heating available outside these months by request—essential for autumn and spring weeks. The heated pool remains at a comfortable 28-29°C. Surrounding the pool deck, loungers face south toward unobstructed valley views. An outdoor shower adjacent to the pool facilities post-swim freshness without returning indoors.

A terraced upper garden offers a second outdoor living zone, positioned for afternoon and evening light. Dedicated al-fresco dining accommodates the full party comfortably. A barbecue facility (rather than a standalone grill) permits extended evening meals without returning to the kitchen. Multiple seating arrangements throughout the grounds mean different guest groups can occupy different spaces simultaneously without creating atmosphere conflict.

The wider estate permits walking directly from the property across vast grounds where deer roam freely and oak forests create natural shade corridors. A mountain stream runs through the property. This is managed countryside rather than manicured gardens—a significant distinction for guests seeking authentic Tuscan landscape rather than refined landscape design.

Location: Reggello and the Surrounding Area

Reggello sits in the Valdarno region, 32km south-east of Florence, positioning I Tebaldi at the precise intersection of three distinct experiences: metropolitan culture access, wine country immersion, and rural seclusion.

Immediate surroundings (0-5km): The Mall outlet shopping centre lies just 2.2km away, stocking Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Burberry and approximately 100 additional luxury brands—useful for forgotten items or spontaneous acquisitions rather than a destination in itself. A small supermarket serves daily provisioning. Two local restaurants operate within 3km, serving traditional Tuscan cuisine at reasonable prices; these suit informal evenings rather than special occasions.

Chianti wine zone (15-50km): Greve in Chianti, the region’s principal wine town, lies 28km north-west. The central piazza functions as a market hub on Saturdays; dozens of enotecas (wine bars) and restaurants line surrounding streets. Radda in Chianti, perched at 570 metres, offers more austere medieval atmosphere and fewer tourist crowds—40km north-west. Castellina in Chianti, 47km away, provides access to numerous Chianti Classico producers and maintains working farm character despite tourism. These three towns form the essential wine-country triangle; each day trip takes 90 minutes round-trip including tasting time.

Extended Tuscan villages (40-75km): Montepulciano, renowned for Vino Nobile production, stands 60km south across undulating vineyard landscapes—expect one-hour drive time. San Gimignano, famous for its preserved medieval towers, sits 55km south-west; visit early morning or evening to avoid daytime tour groups. Siena’s dramatic piazza and duomo lie 75km south, permitting day visits for Renaissance art and civic architecture. Arezzo, 45km east, houses Piero della Francesca’s frescoes in the San Francesco Basilica and functions as a less-crowded alternative to Siena for Renaissance heritage.

Activities and access: Circolo Golf dell’Ugolino, a championship-standard 18-hole course, operates 30km north-west near Florence. The Pratomagno mountain range rises eastward from the property, offering hiking trails ranging from two-hour valley walks to full-day ridge traverses. Cycling routes connect villages throughout the region; local rental services provide road and mountain bikes. For our complete destination inspiration, explore our Tuscany travel guide covering seasonal highlights, cultural events and regional specialities.

Access and airports: Florence Amerigo Vespucci Airport (FLR), the primary gateway, lies 42km north-west with approximate 50-minute transfer time by car. Pisa Galileo Galilei (PSA), offering broader international connections, stands 130km north-west with approximate two-hour transfer time. Drive times account for motorway tolls (€5-8 range) plus standard traffic patterns.

Seasonal considerations: May through September offer guaranteed sunshine, warm pool temperatures, and open restaurant terraces—peak season demands advance bookings. April and October provide pleasant weather with fewer crowds; the pool remains heated through early May. November through February sees occasional rain and closed outdoor venues, though winter light creates dramatic landscape photography and winter truffle markets activate in November-December.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Extended families (3-4 generations): The eight separate bedrooms with individual en suite facilities permit privacy hierarchy—grandparents, adult children with partners, grandchildren—without forced proximity. The dual living spaces (two lounges, multiple outdoor zones) accommodate varying activity schedules.

Corporate groups and executive retreats: Conference facilities at I Tebaldi can be arranged through the concierge service. The separate barn functions effectively as executive quarters distinct from general accommodation. Wine-tasting sessions through local producers cater to incentive trip programming.

Wedding celebration groups: The property accommodates 18 residents comfortably with additional day-guest capacity. The dining room seats the full party; the outdoor terraces suit cocktail receptions. On-site chef and sommelier services permit multi-day celebration menus.

Friends reuniting for milestone celebrations: Two separate living structures permit flexibility—one group might wine-taste in Chianti while others golf or swim. Evening gatherings consolidate around the dining table and terraces.

Less suitable: Couples seeking intimate escapes will find the property unwieldy and overspecified. Guests with limited mobility will struggle with the multiple floor levels and distance between barn and main villa. Families with very young children should confirm pool supervision arrangements in advance.
