Villa Impruneta Italy
Holiday Home Rental Description
Marked by grand hallways and historic features dating back to 1300, this stately villa in Tuscany takes you back in time while enjoying modern amenities and a stellar location just outside the town of Impruneta in the Chianti wine region.
The vast estate boasts impressive features – from regal columns, a grand piano, and a gorgeous fireplace, to famed Impruneta cotto tiles. Multiple living rooms across two floors invite the group to spread out and relax, while the open kitchen and formal dining room inspires the group to come together.
Seven bedrooms reside across three levels, including an ancient tower that has been converted into a suite with stunning valley views. Along with the wine cellars, the basement hosts a small gym with a Finnish sauna for ultimate relaxation.
With a large pool and a myriad of outdoor lounge seating, the estate’s park will be a huge hit. Dine under the shade of a fig tree, have a nightcap beneath the stars, or enjoy morning coffee on the covered terrace.
While day trips to Florence are a must, the lively town of Impruneta will delight with its summer concerts, year ‘round festivals, and famous terracotta kilns and pottery painting workshops. The exclusive Villa Impruneta is surrounded by vineyards and olive orchards in the hillsides of florentine Chianti, located on the road that connects Bagnolo to Impruneta. Villa Impruneta is located only 2 km from its namesake town. Impruneta is a very nice little town whose reputation is related to the production of cotto tiles. The cotto tiles of the Duomo in Florence were made in Impruneta. The famous tiles are included in the amazing ceilings of the villa as well.
Although the reputation of the estate is linked to the quality of its products (its wines and extra virgin olive oil have won a great number of prizes) guests are also likely to have interest in the historical and architectural elements of the villa.
Villa Impruneta is located only 12 km from Florence, a mere 20 minute trip by car. It is ideal for those who would like to visit the Uffizi or Ponte Vecchio without the inconvenience of finding parking for a car. In fact, the bus stops only 100 t from the villa’s gate and takes guests directly to the center of Florence. The villa is also located close to Tuscany’s main attractions: Siena, San Gimignano, Lucca, Pisa, and Cortona.
Villa Impruneta promises an unforgettable holiday in the beauty of the florentine hills among olive trees and vineyards, with the world’s most famous monuments at hand.Services included- Welcome aperitif- Daily cleaning (except on Sunday) 8 am – 4 pm- Preparation of continental breakfast (cost of food is extra)- Tour of the vineyards and cellar and wine tasting – Electricity, Gas, Water – Internet wi-fi connection- Weekly change of linen and towels- A/C in all the bedrooms
