Amazing place with great pool for swimming and sunbathing

The building itself is magnificent, and the owner was very nice. The grounds are lovely. We enjoyed the living room and the loggia. Breakfasts were plentiful.
The road to the villa is not for the faint of heart; it is mostly an unpaved road with only a few places where two-way traffic was comfortable. The villa, itself, is dark, without sufficient lighting, and more railings are needed. We didn't use the pool, but it was green with algae.

The service was incredible and the property is breathtaking during the day and night.

One of the most beautiful hotels we have ever stayed! The villa and gardens are absolutely gorgeous. The room was very nice and comfortable too, very spacious and tastefully decorated. It was very cool inside, while outside was 32°. We immediately felt at home, we were welcomed by Eleonora, one of the sisters running this family hotel. The sisters and staff are all so nice and helpful. Breakfast and other meals we had there were fantastic. A gem of a place! Ideal to relax before or after visiting Florence. The cool swimming pool is a definite plus during hot days.
Everything was great!

If you like something that is authentic it does not come in a better wrapping. Very friendly staff that will do everything to accommodate you. Surprisingly they run a small family restaurant that is filled with love and enthusiasm and has really good food, so there is no real reason to go to the city and drive on the very narrow roads in the dark when you get back. The hotel also runs their own vine making and olive oil factory. Although there is a busy road and train tracks it is very silent during night time. We would like to come back.
If you need to be constantly online and watch the news this is probably not the place for you. Poor or no internet in the room (although working in the main lobby) and no tv in the room. Phone connection is working. But to get a few days more of less off grid is highly recommended. Also, this may not be the place for people with a walking disability as there are many stairs and not all of them are even. The place was not known to the car's navigation system and although we asked local people we could not find it easily. The signs are only on the gate and very small and not easily visible. Tip: Use Apple map, it has the right location.

Amazing property- so much history and great to see it still being so lovingly run by The Rucellai family. Beautiful gardens, exceptional client care by Eleanora and Benedetta- nothing was too much trouble. Our room was very clean, a very comfortable bed and very authentic furnishings. The dinner, cooked and served in the on-site EleBene restaurant, was delicious and so too was the homemade wine and olive oil. We can’t praise Villa Rucellai enough. Thank you.

This is a villa dating back to the 1200s. Just the feeling staying there is unique and exciting. Breakfast was exceptional! The property and its grounds reflect that old glory and you get to spend the night in it! It is a very interesting property to stay in, a bit daunting at night but in the morning light all seems so wonderfully beautiful. We only had one night and loved the experience!
The construction work right outside our only window could be avoided. Some of the room amenities could be updated.

The garden was amazing and the overall athmosphere was so beautiful! The house was historic and we had such a pleasure to stay in this place for two nights. Breakfast was good, a little bit of everything. Family owned restaurant was also something we would recommend anytime, both food and service was absolutely perfect. Location is convenient when travelling with a car, Prato was 10 min away where it was an easy and quick train ride to Firenze. Would love to come back and stay for longer.

We loved the fact that it is an older Italian villa with history. I loved the rooms, beautiful ornate ceilings in the bedroom and other rooms as well as ornate painting of the upper walls in places. The balcony has amazing views over the surrounding hills. We were greeted by Giovanni who was so helpful and even showed us the olive factory.
The road from Prato to the villa is mostly single track, meaning that somebody has to reverse to a passing place. However all the traffic was slow and happy to move to a suitable place to pass.

Stunning villa, a glorious combination of Renaissance grandeur and relaxation. Breakfasts and sunsets in the loggia were bliss.
The villa is quite a long way out of Prato, down a busy single track lane. A car and a confident driver is fairly essential.

Gorgeous location and the breakfast was the best we had anywhere in Italy. Eating out on the balcony overlooking the area is very beautiful. The gardens and olive grove are both ornamental and productive.

The place is magical and beautiful. It is exactly what we expected from the website, actually better. The villa is very special and unique, with a gorgeous garden, a nice pool. The breakfast was delicious, we ate outside with a wonderful view. May be good to know: just a few restaurants in walking distance, a reservation in advance is recommended. Streets are quite narrow, but not a problem. Drinks (wine, water, beer, coke) can be bought from a fridge inside the living room. We had a very good time, thank you!

I was charged twice although when I booked, the site clearly said 'no prepayment'. I showed proof and they said they would check their bank account, even though I had proof from my own bank account statement. Throughout our stay they didn't refund, but asked me to go to my bank and get the IBAN that we paid into. Had to phone them 4 times after our visit to ask for a refund. After a month of waiting for the villa to refund I called Booking.com and was refunded a week later. We liked our stay at the villa, but unfortunately the customer service was totally unacceptable. We should have been refunded straight away and not fobbed off with excuses.

This is the second time we have stayed at the Villa. Often going back is a mistake, this certainly wasn’t. There’s just something so magical about the place. It’s not flat screen TV, IKEA and plastic. It’s elegant, exciting yet peaceful, and from a bye gone age of sophistication and beauty. There’s a huge and comfortable lounge and loggia to sit and survey the surrounding area. A fabulous breakfast is available and certainly worth taking the time to sit and eat, not fast food on the run for sure. Our room was on the second floor, a very comfortable bed, hot water a plenty and a big bath or shower. If you have maximum luggage just take in what you need as the steps might feel daunting.The gardens are extensive and you could just sit for the day reading and not feel it a wasted day. Follow the Villas instructions on getting there as the GPS will take you in the wrong direction. Thank you once again for a wonderful stay. Hopefully it won’t be so long next time.

We absolutely loved Villa Rucellai, one of the best and most romantic places we’ve been in. You could really feel the authenticity and the soul of the villa. Beautiful and rustic Tuscan villa with stunning property and garden. Already waiting to come back in the future
