About this villa rental

*** The conditions for hosting weddings and events at the property are detailed at the end of the description. ***

Set in the heart of the beautiful Chianti region, this magnificent 8-bedroom, 8.5-bathroom villa dates back to the 16th century and offers a prime location for easy access to Florence and all of Tuscany’s most famous attractions. Surrounded by a stunning garden, the villa sits within an expansive 68-acre estate, offering breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Chianti hills, lined with meticulously maintained vineyards and olive groves.

The villa features truly stunning architecture, crafted from ashlar stones that frame the grand entrance and is prominently referenced in the renowned book “Le Ville di Firenze” (Florence’s Villas). Upon entering through the arched doorway, you are welcomed into a meticulously maintained private courtyard, complete with a full set of outdoor furniture, ideal for unwinding after a day of exploring the area.

Inside, the villa boasts stone jambs that enhance the doors, while the vaulted bedrooms create a serene and elegant atmosphere. The estate also includes an antique private chapel, adorned with a vaulted ceiling and a beautiful painting of the Virgin Mary at its center.

Following an extensive renovation that spanned several years, during which all original charm and architectural features were preserved, the villa's interiors have been meticulously upgraded to the highest standards.

Every detail has been carefully considered, from the selection of premium materials to the exquisitely appointed furniture & the artwork hanging on the walls, resulting in a truly unique space that harmoniously complements the villa's original structure.

Covering over 7,500 square feet and featuring eight beautifully decorated air-conditioned bedrooms, the property provides the ultimate setting for your dream luxury Italian getaway!!

The Property owners oversee the production of exquisite wines, olive oil, honey, and Vin Santo (dessert wine) right on the estate, all of which can be sampled or purchased at any time. As an introduction to the property owners’ winemaking activity, all villa guests are offered a free wine/olive oil tasting and visit to the main aging cellar on the estate.

The Location.
The property is located in the immediate proximity of the village of Tavarnelle Val di Pesa, in the heart of the Chianti countryside, offering easy access to all of the region's major cultural and artistic towns, including Florence, San Gimignano, Siena, Monteriggioni, Volterra, Certaldo, etc.

Surrounding the property are numerous charming restaurants, along with a variety of local delicacies, crafts and jewelry shops. The nearest supermarket (COOP) is approximately 2.8 miles away, just a 5-6 minute drive, while the closest restaurant is 2.5 miles from the property (5-min. drive). A fully equipped gym is reachable in under 10 minutes by car (less than 3 miles away), and the local tennis club, with clay courts, is less than a mile away, just a 2-minute drive. Lastly, the nearest golf course is located less than 15 miles away (approx. a 25-minute drive).

As the property is located just 17 miles (approximately 25-26 minutes by car) from the center of Florence, it is very easy and quick to reach all of the city's incredible treasures and attractions. Similarly, Siena is only 30 miles away, about a 45-minute drive.

Tavarnelle Val di Pesa (7 miles from the villa): Nestled between Florence and Siena in the lush hills of Chianti, this historic town is one of the most significant places in Tuscany. Over the centuries, it has maintained its natural beauty, surrounded by picturesque landscapes, while achieving a harmonious development that utilizes local resources wisely. Its rich heritage of unique scenery, architecture, art, and culture creates the perfect backdrop for a memorable holiday in Italy.

Florence (17 miles from the villa): This city lies along the banks of the Arno River and is renowned worldwide for its rich history and significance during both the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. As the capital of Italy’s Tuscany region, Florence boasts numerous masterpieces of Renaissance art and architecture. One of its most iconic landmarks is the Duomo, a cathedral featuring a terracotta-tiled dome designed by Brunelleschi and a bell tower by Giotto. The Galleria dell'Accademia is home to Michelangelo’s famous “David” sculpture, while the Uffizi Gallery showcases masterpieces such as Botticelli’s “The Birth of Venus” and da Vinci’s “Annunciation.”

Siena (30 miles from the villa): Nestled among olive groves and Chianti vineyards, Siena is one of the most stunning cities in Tuscany. Perched atop three hills, the city features a blend of broad avenues and narrow streets. At its heart lies Piazza del Campo, renowned worldwide for the "Palio," the historic horse race held twice a year on July 2nd and August 16th. Additional cultural landmarks include the magnificent Duomo and Santa Maria della Scala, both must-visit sites for tourists. Few places in the world can match the unique landscape that envelops Siena, making it a truly special destination.

San Gimignano (16 miles from the villa): This towered city is regarded as a jewel of medieval architecture in Italy and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1990. The ancient town, perched on a natural highland, is enclosed by impressive defensive walls and is distinguished by its numerous towers, which create a unique skyline. San Gimignano is notable for preserving its typical medieval elements, including the tall defensive towers built by aristocratic families, which have remained intact over the centuries. This preservation is a significant advantage for San Gimignano, as many other Italian cities have seen their walls destroyed or replaced by more modern constructions throughout history.

Villa il Paganello exceeded all our expectations. From booking to check out, Riccardo was an extrodinary host. Great communication. The photos, while beautiful, cannot do justice to being on one of the many outdoor patios, sipping a glass of vino while surrounded by the Tuscan vineyards. Magical! The interior did not disappoint either. So well maintained & with so many spaces for our family of 11 to gather together or find a quiet place of their own. However, true to our Italian American heritage, most of our indoor time was spent around the massive table in the downstairs kitchen...the heart the home. Speaking of stairs - be prepared to get your "steps" in. We have stayed in historical homes in the past & were prepared for this. And there are two lovely bedrooms on the ground floor. But just something to consider with regards to the needs of your group. The town of Tavarnelle is a short drive away & has everything you need - market, butcher, bakery - to utilize the villa's modern kitchen to prepare your own meals, which we did a couple of nights. But the very best meal by far was the dinner prepared by Cristina Bussotti at the villa (recommended by Riccardo) for my Birthday Celebration. What a treat!! Highly recommend hiring Cristina, even if it's not your birthday :)

Enchanting, Quintessenial Italian Tuscan Villa Property
Enchanting, Quintessenial Italian Tuscan Villa Property
Twelve age 55+ friends and family from Denver, USA rented the Villa Paganello for a week. To our delight, the Villa was even more beautiful and wonderful than the photos and description. Villa Paganello is a stunning retreat tucked away in the beautiful hills of Tuscany with vineyards surrounding the property. Villa Paganello makes its own wine and it is delicious. The 8 bedroom/8 bathroom accommodations are spacious, spotless, and extremely well-appointed. One doesn’t have to leave the property to have a 5 star experience. The Villa is very well-equipped for cocktail and dining experiences in both indoor and outdoor settings. The pool area is very enjoyable and excellently maintained. We are a well-traveled group and highly recommend this gem. Speaking of gems, Riccardo the owner and host was very attentive. A true gentleman, his kindness truly amazed us. He pays attention to detail and he cares if his guests are comfortable and have what is necessary to have a perfect vacation. We all hope to return one day.
