A 15th-century castello less than 30km from Florence, this villa wraps serious history around exceptional comfort. Ancient wine cellars host private tastings, a tower spa offers hammam and sauna sessions, and the manicured grounds – eight hectares of enclosed parkland complete with truffle grounds and a limonaia – make it hard to feel any urgency to leave. Daily housekeeping, breakfast, and an on-site concierge come as standard, so the main decision each morning is really just whether to take a dip in the pool or explore the Tuscan hills beyond the estate walls.

About Tuscany

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
