About this villa rental

Set within a 3-acre private estate, this magnificent 7BR – 8BA Villa dates back to the XVI century and enjoys the most amazing views across the Tuscan landscape filled with olive groves and cypresses.

The strategical position of the property nestled on the hills right above Florence, allows guests to both comfortably reach the city centre (only about 6 miles away) with its unique cultural attractions and at the same time enjoy the benefits of the Tuscan countryside with its plentiful options for rest and complete privacy.

Whether in summer cooling off in the private pool or in winter chilling in front of the fireplace, this charming estate offers a unique opportunity to experience Tuscany at it´s best, all year long with family and friends!

About the Property.
The property has been in the family since five generations. As a result of various successions it belonged to the Bardi´s a feudal and noble family of bankers relatives of the Medici´s, to then return to the Vespucci´s - descendant of the great Amerigo until 1820.
Since then, the historic estate has preserved its original wonderful characteristics and authentic Tuscan charm, whilst undergoing a complete renovation and careful restoration phase considering all modern comforts and facilities. Each room has been tastefully furnished and decorated with the finest local materials handmade by Florentine artisans.
The extensive secluded grounds ensure privacy and feature walking paths across roses and olive groves, from which excellent Olive Oil is produced every year (guests are welcome to taste it upon arrival). Perfectly kept at all times, the park offers multiple seating areas for al fresco dining and it is ideal for outdoor summer banquets.

The structure.
Spreading over a surface of about 7,500 square feet, with its 7 charmingly decorated bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, the property can comfortably accomodate up to 14 guests.

Let’s start by saying this is the best vacation home I have ever stayed at. Everything about this Villa exceeded my expectations and I look forward to one day returning and spending a longer time there. The Villa was exactly as advertised if not better. The host, Bianca, was beyond accommodating and helpful with everything from planning my party’s arrival to helping me with the events I planned on the villa grounds. This is one magical destination and I would go back in a heartbeat! Grazie Mille Bianca!!

We had a wonderful stay! This is a beautiful and very special house. Location near Florence is great and easy to take day trips to Siena and explore many nearby wineries. Definitely recommend a car. Suggestions for tours, restaurants, and towns to visit were very helpful. Bianca was a great host and very attentive to anything we needed when we were there. One day we got locked out of the guest house and she was there within minutes with an extre key.

We had a wonderful time staying at Villa Le Colline and can highly recommend it. The property is bigger than it looks online and has two large suites on the top floor with private sitting rooms. Every bedroom with en-suite is beautifully furnished and comfortable. My 18 month old grandson was well catered for with a cot, high chair and crockery provided . The villa is elegant, full of character and creates a relaxed atmosphere for a family holiday. It is quiet, private and has outstanding views across the countryside. It is secure and gated. The swimming pool is surrounded by mature olive trees. It is clean and well maintained with ample loungers, parasols, pool towels and inflatables in the pool house. There’s a small fridge, table and chairs in the shade by the pool. Our host, Bianca, was warm and welcoming. She provided excellent information and support before, during and after our stay. Her house booklet and recommendations were extremely helpful. We used it to book a recommended cook for breakfasts and two excellent dinners at the villa. It was easy to get around. We rented cars and went into Florence. We also drove to surrounding villages to shop, visit restaurants and did wine tasting. The standard of cleaning on arrival and during our stay was immaculate. Our grocery order was in place on arrival and all of our requests were met. Our overall experience was excellent and exceeded our expectations. We were very sad to leave. Thank you Bianca.

Villa Le Colline is a magnificent house and property dating back to the 15th century. It is well kept and appointed with 7 bedrooms, a wonderful pool and an arbored outdoor dining area which we used frequently when dining at the house. Our host, Bianca, was charming and attentive and readily available to fulfill our needs and desires and to provide recommendations. She is the best! The drive to Florence is roughly 20 minutes, 30 minutes to Greve and the Chianti region and approximately 40-45 minutes to Sienna. Villa Le Colline is well situated in the pastoral countryside of Impruneta but not too distant from the sites. All in all, a wonderful experience.

All of the five star reviews of this property are absolutely true! Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. Bianca and her family were so welcoming and attentive to our stay. The villa is close to Florence and other stunning cities in Tuscany. The local chefs, particularly Christina and Antonella, made amazing meals for us and we also did a cooking class. Everyone loved it!

Having waited a couple of decades for this stay to come true it ticked all the boxes. Our group of 15 friends and family had the most wonderful week. There was plenty of quiet places for those who wanted it along with plenty of space inside and out for all of us to be together. The villa its self was all you would imagine in an elegant Tuscan villa overlooking The Tuscan countryside dotted with Cypress trees. Bianca our host was brilliant. We could not have asked for more.
