The Alberti Counts

  • 12 guests

  • 6 bedrooms

  • 7 bathrooms

Dating back to 1210, this stunning villa is teeming with ancient charm and is guaranteed to make you feel like true royalty. Restored to the highest modern standards, this historical home offers an ideal setting for a large group to relax in unparalleled luxury and comfort. A separate annexe in the medieval tower is complete with its own living room, bedroom and en-suite, so it's perfect for guests who require a little extra privacy from the group. Back in the main mansion, its multiple living spaces are filled with antiques, paintings and historic artefacts, so there's always a new corner to explore and inspire you. To the front of the main building lies an expansive garden, featuring spectacular views over the countryside, and a generous pool with an immaculate lawn that's perfect to lie on and soak up the Tuscan sun. While it's close to the village of Castelfiorentino, you’re only 30 km from culture-packed Florence, so we recommend you take some time to explore this stunning region.

About Tuscany

Perhaps the first region to come to mind when you think of holidays in Italy, there’s no denying Tuscany’s beauty. The term “Rolling hills” could have been coined here, where grapes ripen on vines in the folds of the valleys and ancient towns crown hilltops.
