Our group of 10 just checked out of the villa today. Five couples from the USA and we were all extremely pleased with our accommodations and time spent in the region of Impruneta.
Our hostess, Caterina and her family were responsive to every question whether it was local restaurants, local tours of pottery, specific Florence Shopping options, parking or train schedules. We utilized almost every area of the Villa specifically the clean and refreshing swimming pool, ping pong table and well equipped kitchen.
We planned far in advance and so glad we chose this villa carefully because it was worth the wait!
Thank you again for sharing your beautiful home for a week we will not forget.

My wife and two children ages 10 and 13 enjoyed three restful nights at Cate's Wonderful family property. Comfortable bedrooms, quiet surroundings, plenty of shade and a refreshing pool Helped us enjoy the Tuscan countryside and rejuvenate our bodies as we overcame jet lag from our first Italian vacation as a family We enjoyed a wonderful cooking class with Chef Valentina! We had a wonderful meal prepared upon our arrival at the Villa as well! We took the short walk to town on two separate evenings for gelato and pizza… It was amazing! Can't say enough about our host. Cate!!!! You were awesome. Anything we needed, you were willing and able to provide. We can't wait to come back again and stay longer. We feel like we just scratched the surface of this beautiful part of Tuscany and the villa was perfect for our families needs. Caio!!

Our family stayed at this wonderful Tuscan house for 8 days in August 2024. Our host Caterina, and her team, have been very responsive, both before and during our stay. The house has been in Caterina’s family for generations, so they show a great deal of care for both the house and their guests. The house is located near the town square of Impruneta, so very conveniently located with groceries and restaurant options nearby, and very central to Tuscany so most visit-worthy locations are at a reasonable driving distance. The pool – large and well maintained – was very useful, as there was a heat wave during our stay. Caterina was also very helpful with booking winery tours and arranging transportation; she knows the region very well, and it shows in her recommendations. Beyond the large size of the property, and the great team managing our stay, there were two features/services that greatly enhanced our stay, and which I highly recommend to any guest staying at the house:
- Pizza dinner; we had a wonderful pizza making crash course from a local pizza chef, using the authentic wood-burning oven in the house. We had the most wonderful pizza dinner ever.
- An authentic Tuscan dinner, prepared by Caterina’s sister and their staff, which was absolutely delicious (they set-up and clear out everything, so you don’t need to lift a finger – just enjoy a great home-cooked meal).
We would highly recommend this house on your next trip to Tuscany. This one gets a perfect rating from us.

I rented the villa to celebrate my fortieth birthday with my husband and three other couples (longtime friends). We could not have been more excited and impressed by the property! It is a family property that has been meticulously updated. The pool is a dream. The kitchen was wonderful and we enjoyed grilling and making meals. One night, we booked a meal made in the villa (by Caterina’s sister) and it was absolutely delicious - homemade pasta, prosciutto, wine, pork, the works! And the best dessert we had on the whole trip. So easy to get into Florence and the communication was second to none. Caterina’s wonderful mom even brought us some beautiful pastries for breakfast one morning. We also had plenty of privacy - the perfect balance. I genuinely can’t think of a single complaint. I’m hoping to go back!!!!

Cate was an incredible host and the property was magnificent. The pool was perfect for keeping us cool on hot summer days and the homemade dinner and pizza meals were delicious! If you’re looking for a place to relax and enjoy the florentine countryside there is no better option than this. Thank you Cate and your entire family for making our stay so enjoyable.
5.0
A great place for 13 women- family and friends- to gather and explore Tuscany from. It was an easy drive to Florence and to the Chianti villages and wineries, and the villa and grounds provided a lovely place to rest between the touring. Cate and her family were amazing, the activities and dinners were wonderful, the cool salt water pool was refreshing. Our entire group was very happy and we all highly recommend! :)

Thank you so much Caterina and Cecelia for a truly wonderful stay at your family’s villa. There were 11 of us and we are all so grateful for the many things you arranged for us from private transfers and tours to meals, dinner reservations, and the tour of the terra-cotta workshop. When there were problems, you took care of them as quickly as possible, and went above and beyond to make things right. You couldn’t have been kinder or more flexible when we made changes and we made many! The pizza dinner and home cooked Tuscan meal were wonderful! Cecelia is a fabulous cook! Our favorite activities were the wineries and seeing the small Tuscan hill towns. It would’ve been very difficult to see them without the private drivers you arranged. We also appreciated having a car to go into town, and the tram into Florence was very easy to get to and use. We so appreciate how hard you worked to make everything perfect! Your kindness and help with everything were so appreciated!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about our stay at this Italian gem located in Impruneta! The house itself had such a beautiful old Italian feel with all the modern comforts needed to make your stay perfect. The pool, the various outdoor dining and sitting areas allowed us to be totally emerged in the Tuscany hills. What truly makes this place special is Caterina! She did so much to be sure our first visit to Tuscany was just what we were wanting. She communicated with us well before our actual trip and all throughout. Cate booked all of our transfers, Tuscany excursions and arranged for a delicious home cooked Italian dinner right at the Villa! Our only mistake is that we didn’t stay longer.
5.0
Caterina and her family hosted us and made our trip unbelievable! They helped with transportation, travel ideas, and also prepared home cooked amazing meals in the villa, including two 4 course dinners and an amazing pizza night in the homes built in pizza oven.
The grounds are absolutely gorgeous.
Thank you for a wonderful stay! I’d definitely stay at this wonderful home again! Thank you Cate!

I can’t begin to describe how amazing this trip was. Cate was the most amazing host. She arranged so many events, dinners, transportation that made our trip seamless. Her sister was also very helpful. We did pizza making, florentine steak dinner, and pasta making which were all great. Valentina was our guide for pasta and pizza. The villa was perfect for our group of eight.
5.0
The property has one of the most amazing views you could ever ask for. It is extremely clean, the pool is amazing, and it has the most attentive host our family has ever had at a property. Cate was attentive to everything we asked for, and made sure our stay was amazing. I highly recommend this property and wouldn’t hesitate to go back. Thanks for a great vacation!
5.0
This was such an amazing experience! Even before our stay Cate was so helpful and coordinated everything we wanted to incorporate into our trip. When we arrived to the villa, check-in was easy and Cate made sure we were comfortable.
We were a family of 8 and every en-suite room felt like a completely private area. Each and every room in the house was decorated with such care and beatiful furniture. There were so many areas, both inside and outside, for everyone to relax and enjoy. The kitchen had everything we needed. The villa was clean and very well maintained, not to mention the view! The entire property was picturesque, like a storybook. The beds were super comfortable and the room darkening shutters made for a great sleep for everyone.
The main town area is a 5 min drive or a 20 minute walk.
We had a dinner prepared by Cate's sister, as well as a breakfast served in the villa..both were wonderful. We also had a pizza class with use of the 17th century oven in the villa, which was a highlight of the trip, so much fun! Not to mention the family wine, which everyone loved!
Our only regret is not staying longer. We are all looking forward to returning to Cate, Cecilia, Angela and Paolo's family villa. Thank you so much for an incredible and unforgettable stay!

Our family of 5 had a wonderful stay in Tuscany at Caterina’s family villa. While I am sure the summer is wonderful, we loved the smaller crowds and relaxed pace in the winter. Caterina provided excellent advice and coordinated some great activities. Her villa is a true “find”.
5.0
I have traveled all over the world and I have never had such a beautiful experience! This villa was not only stunning and immaculate but every room had a very sizable bathroom which meant everyone had ample space to be comfortable. The owners, Cate and her family were so kind and loving. They made every detail of the trip perfect. They made every transfer and scheduled all the activities. Everyone we came in contact with was so kind and we all loved the wine tasting and pasta class the best! Cate was in instant communication with us at all times and allowed us to just relax knowing everything would be perfect. The villa is perfectly appointed with many different sitting areas so multiple families would be comfortable here. I can’t wait to come back! 5star experience! The pictures do not even do it justice!

I highly recommend this Villa. Take the time to look over all the amenities it offers. This is like a home away from home. Ensuite bathrooms, indoor and outdoor dinning areas, indoor and outdoor relaxation areas, heated pool, security, full kitchen, laundry, etc. The Villa location is only about 1.3 miles from Impruneta Italy permitting one to visit via walking. Impruneta has shops, dining, grocery stores, photo opportunities etc.
The secret asset to this Villa is hostess Caterina Porzio and family. She goes out of her way to provide her clients assistance be it prior to or after arrival. Need assistance with tour arrangements, transportation, suggested areas to visit, etc. just contact Caterina and it is only a text or call away. She also leaves the list of family contacts should she be unavailable. During our stay Caterina made several changes to our transportation so we could avoid rain potential. Cate’s dedication to client service and the Villa is beyond reproach. You will not be disappointed. This is a 5 STAR Villa and Caterina makes it a 5 STAR+.

This was my second stay at Caterina’s beautiful villa and this time I brought my family I cannot express in words how truly amazing this villa is and how incredibly hard working and kind Caterina and her family are From making dinner reservations to organizing drivers to winery reservations to planning entire days for us, she did it all. The home is immaculately clean, spacious enough for families, convenient to Florence and Sienna and many other villages in Tuscany Imprunetana is a 25 minute walk into town where you can find restaurants and shops.
We also had an absolutely delightful cooking class which Cate also planned for us Fantastic!
We stayed at the villa for 10 days and wish we could have stayed for month! Maybe next time we will. This villa will not disappoint and we consider Caterina a friend and cannot wait to come back

If you are looking for a spacious house, lovingly maintained and cared for by the family that owns it, and an unbeatable view of the Tuscany hills, this is the place. The home has been owned by Caterina's family for many years and pride of ownership shows. There is plenty of space for everyone - 5 large bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, plenty of seating inside and out for gathering with your family and friends. Our group of 4 couples enjoyed coffee on the terrace every morning and wine in the late afternoon. The villa is in a perfect location to enjoy day trips to the surrounding area. Caterina is a perfect host. She was available to answer our many questions before we even arrived and also during our stay. She helped arrange transportation and tours. We truly enjoyed our time at this beautiful villa.

There are not enough words to accurately describe our fantastic stay! Group of 4 couples traveling. Cate could not have been nicer and more accommodating to our needs. We enjoyed several home cooked meals from her sister and mom.they were both adorable and the food was delicious comparable if not better than the restaurants we visited, The villa is beautiful we loved all the sitting area and the pool was great!! Have traveled in large groups several times and by far this was the best experience we've had. Cate made our week in Tuscany!!!!!!!!

Our sibling family of 7 from the US had an amazing stay at Villa Fabbiole in Imprunetta. Catherine Porzio, our host, was gracious & accommodating from the moment we booked our reservation and throughout our stay. Her gorgeous villa was like a step back in time and was an inviting retreat after sightseeing and navigating the busy narrow, winding roads! We enjoyed the many outdoor spaces with scenic views and the refreshing pool. We highly recommend Villa Fabbiole to anyone planning a trip to Tuscany. The Swanson Family

We started planning our family trip to Tuscany nearly 2 years ago. From the first time we inquired about the villa, Cate was wonderful to work with. She is just delightful! Always so helpful and caring, and giving her very best to ensure the best experience possible!
The villa is breathtaking and was perfect for our needs. We enjoyed all the patios, the pool, the kitchen, the beautiful grounds and spectacular views! We loved hearing the rooster next door welcome each new day! Imprunetta is just over a mile away and we enjoyed walking into town several times for lunch, espresso martinis and, of course, gelato.
We especially loved the fabulous dinners prepared and served by Cecilia, Malika and Valentina. Their meals were ‘delicioso’ and abundant, and their charming personalities made us feel more like family than guests. They truly bent over backwards to make sure our every need was not only met, but exceeded.
Cate expertly arranged for our transportation to and from the villa from the train station in Florence, as well as to several wineries and a few other nearby towns ~ making sure we were picked up on time and brought back safely.
We will never forget our wonderful week at the villa and look forward to returning one day bringing new friends to enjoy the unmatched beauty and hospitality! This ranks with best vacations ever!!
Grazie mille, Cate❤️

WOW! What a wonderful week we had in our Tuscan Villa. It is a truly beautiful place. This was a trip for the “girls” of our family and we couldn’t have been happier. 5 bedrooms, each with en-suite, was the perfect size for the 5 of us.
Lovely Cate helped us plan our trip making arrangements for each day.
She made it so easy, with lots of suggestions from which to choose, and making the arrangements for us. From the pasta making class, the Tuscan dinner, trips into Florence and San Gimignano, wine tasting, it all was great.
The views from the villa are amazing. Just what you imagine when you think of Italy.
This is a family affair which makes it so personal.
Thank you Cate, Angela, Cecilia, and Paolo.

Our original family trip was planned for 2020. As many travelers found, cancellations were frequently made. Our hostess Caterina kept in touch with me throughout this difficult time. The Villa has many lovely antiques and family possessions. Our family of
9, ages 11-78 were very comfortable with 5 air conditioned bedrooms, each with their own bath.
There were many comfortable sitting areas within the Villa and outside. We decided to chose the menus offered by our hostess to enjoy several home cooked Tuscan meals so everyone could relax. We especially liked the grill night which was cooked to perfection.
Chef Cecilia and Chef Milaka were very talented and efficient.
The pool was in such a lovely setting. It was always clean and refreshing after a long tour day.
Our hostess and her family have their hearts in this family Villa and they will help in any way they can to accommodate your requests. Grazie from our hearts to yours. Tom, Carol and Family

Caterina is one of the sweetest, most accommodating, and helpful hostesses I have encountered in my travels. She is all in, goes out of her way to make her guests feel at home and is always ready to help in anyway possible by making all sorts of helpful recommendations.
The rustic house is very cozy, private, well maintained, and has all of the amenities one would need. It’s in the outskirts of Florence, about 30 minutes away by car from all the hustle and bustle of the city.
We enjoyed the delicious meals prepared by her sister and the pool was a wonderful way to cool off after visiting the city.
We are very grateful for the opportunity to meet such a wonderful person and for being able to stay in such a charming place. Thank You!

What more can we say!!! This charming & beautiful villa was heaven for us and Caterina was our “angel” who looked out for us to assist with all of our needs & requests of which there were many (private drivers & cab transfers, rental car delivery & pick up at the villa, restaurant dinner reservations, day trip tours to local
vineyards and so much more).
Our family of 10 (3 generations) was excited for our 2 week stay that had been planned for 2 years & we were amazed at how beautiful the villa was. It was a dream come true & Caterina’s passion & pride for her family’s villa was so contagious it made everyone feel to a certain extent that it was our lovely home in Tuscany too!
The 5 bedroom made for a most comfortable stay and the inground pool with stunning views overlooking the Tuscan countryside was fabulous & enjoyed by everyone. Caterina provided arrangements for a delicious Tuscan style in villa dinner cooked by her sister Cecilia & a wonderful brunch for our oldest son’s birthday & Caterina surprised him with a fine bottle of Tuscan wine 🍷
We had a pizza class with Valentina & Lorenzo that was so very much fun & we enjoyed our pizzas that were cooked in the villa’s ancient wood oven. We really appreciated how Caterina & Cecilia went above & beyond to ensure for
special meals as one member of our family has Celiac disease which required special attention.
Caterina is “THE BEST” and her villa is, quite simply, heaven on earth! GRAZIE MILLE!!!

I would give this villa a million stars if I could. It must be one of the most beautiful places on earth. The only thing more wonderful than the villa is Caterina. She is so kind and helpful. She made our stay perfect. If you choose this lovely villa, say yes to the breakfast your first morning. It was delicious and we ate the leftover pastries, muesli, and farm-made yogurt for breakfast for the rest of the week. Also definitely do the pizza making class- so much fun and very good to eat. The dinner Cecilia and her friend made for us at the villa was elegant and very good. We also enjoyed the local restaurant Caminetto del Chianti and the wine tasting day that Caterina arranged for us. You will not be disappointed if you stay at Caterina and Cecilia’s family’s villa. I left a little piece of my heart at the villa and hope to return one day to the lovely gardens, amazing views and heavenly jasmine vines perfuming the air.

This was an excellent location for me to celebrate a momentous birthday. We had six adults in our group, and the villa’s five bedrooms made for perfect accommodations. Everyone had their own space which made the stay very comfortable.
The views were breathtaking, the antique furniture exquisite and the kitchen well-stocked with cookware. The walk into Impruneta is a workout with up and down hills, but manageable. The only downside was mosquitoes, but it was the height of the season, so bring some repellent.
Aside from the spectacular views and location, the best part was Caterina and her family. She went above and beyond to ensure we had a great vacation. In fact, my flight was delayed and Cate stayed awake until 1:00 am to speak to my taxi driver to ensure he could locate the villa. She arranged tours, transports, and was fantastic with every request. We’d definitely like to return!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this villa outside of Impruneta. The house itself is so historic, interesting and clean. Every room is meticulously decorated and organized. It is nice to have a separate bathroom with each bedroom. The property is even better with stunning views of the Tuscan countryside and plenty of room for our 3 young children to roam around. It was a bit cold the week we stayed so we weren’t able to use the pool much but had it been a little warmer, it would have been amazing. Cate was so helpful in organizing rental cars, drivers, and in-home chefs. She even made sure to have a crib and high chair set up for our 17 month old daughter. Overall this is an amazing property and home with really incredible views. The house has many different rooms and places to hang out and we used each and every one of them. We would definitely recommend renting a car to stay here. It’s a bit of walk into town and is needed to explore the countryside and drive to Florence. We stayed with 9 people spanning 3 generations and had a very memorable and unforgettable experience. We hope to come back again one day. Thank you Cate and family for all your hospitality. Grazie mille! :)

My friends and family just returned from a two week stay at the Porzio family’s villa and it was absolutely fabulous! The villa is beautiful. Each room is decorated with the family’s antiques and it truly feels like a Tuscan home. The kitchen is well stocked to prepare meals. We opted to have chef Valentina cook a dinner for us, and it was one of the best meals we had during out stay. She also hosted Pizza night for us and showed us how to make pizza. It was a lot of fun and the pizza’s were great. Each morning, we would sit outside in the common areas and enjoy the picture perfect scenery overlooking the vineyards and olive trees before we headed out for the day. The views are gorgeous from anywhere outside the property.
Cate and here family were excellent hosts. I had the pleasure of meeting the entire family and they some of the nicest people you will meet. They are proud of their home and will make sure you holiday is perfect. Cate was always available to provide information on tours, and places to visit. She was always available to answer any questions. I can say many good things about our stay In this wonderful villa. I wish I could have stayed longer.
Thank you Cate, Cecilia, Paulo and Angela for your kindness and hospitality. We are looking forward to returning to your beautiful villa in the future!

We received the best service in the most beautiful of places with Cate and family! The Villa is gorgeous, well supplied, relaxing and offered delightful spaces for all activities. The views were breathtaking and the several reflection spots very charming. On top of it all, Cate and her parents went way above all expectations by providing exceptional care when one of us needed emergency room services. I don't know what we would have done without Cate and Paolo’s translation, transportation and attention, and Angela's gracious care. The pizza making was fun and delicious, and the home cooked dinner by Cecilia superb. Many thanks for the wonderful time. We hope to return someday!

This property is a gem. Just book it. Starting with Caterina - one of the best property hosts we have ever experienced. She is at your disposal. For anything. She made restaurant reservations for us for dates we weren't even staying at her villa! The location: easy access to Florence, easy access to central Tuscany (we visited Siena and San Gimignano), less than a mile from Impruneta (the cute local town with excellent gelato!), or just stay home and enjoy the views, which are better than the pictures. The villa: 17th century feel, with up to date amenities, a heated pool, 5 nice sized bedrooms with ensuite, plenty of indoor and outdoor spots to relax. The services: the pizza cooking class was great fun, the Tuscan style dinner by Cate's sister Cecilia was our best meal in Italy, our guide for a tour of the Duomo complex in Florence was charming. Could go on, but bottom line, this is a special place. We are so happy we had the opportunity to stay here.

Caterina was a fabulous host on this beautiful villa! My family of 7 stayed there for 5 days and it was truly an Italian experience. She is there to help with any situations that arise and is the most wonderful lady you can imagine. Thank you to you and your family for making our vacation a great one and a memory to treasure forever.

Amazing property location to enjoy a family villa outside the city of Florence. Each bedroom has their own bath en-suite bathrooms. Our owner, provided driver information, we used them and they were perfect. Even stopped off at an American War Memorial on our way to the winery recommended by owner. Caterina was very intent on a perfect stay for us. Pictures cannot explain the beauty of this country side.

Was a terrific stay with 8 family members. Caterina was SO incredibly helpful before and during the stay with suggestions, reservations, anything we needed and they made us a terrific dinner in the lovely dining room while we were there. Five stars all around. Thank you very much

We were a family group of 9 with a week de variety of needs. I cannot say enough about Caterina and her family and the time and effort they put in to make our stay incredible.
Caterina went above and beyond to arrange many things for us; a wheelchair delivered to the villa for my mom, a fresh turkey ordered and delivered for our Thanksgiving dinner, tour reservations and suggestions, restaurant recommendations and reservations, car shuttles for airport and tour, car rental with personal delivery and pickup, olive oil tasting and tour, personal chef at the villa for pasta making and pizza making classes and much more. They made it so easy (and we were not an especially easy group with our needs) and I could not have navigated it all on my own. She was available at any time for questions or anything we needed both before our trip and during our trip.
The villa was lovely and spacious - great for a group of any kind. Each bedroom having its own bathroom, beautiful grounds, quiet location, incredible views, well stocked kitchen.
It was a trip we will always remember and in no small part because of our host.

Everything about our stay was perfect. The house was incredible and had everything anyone could possibly want. Everything was very well-maintained and impeccably clean. The family that owns and restored this property takes much pride in everything they have done and it is well deserved. The views were spectacular. Set up on a hill with views of olive trees and vineyards and the stunning countryside. We simply could not stop looking at the views. We highly recommend taking the pizza making class because you get to cook it in the 17th century wood burning oven. There are many areas to lounge and relax and all of them are extremely comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped and everything is in good working order. The hosts are the most friendly family and went out of their way to make sure our stay was perfect and were very helpful in arranging reservations and transportation and anything else we needed. They even picked up groceries for us so everything was waiting for us when we arrived. I came here with my three children in their 20s and we have already decided that we will be back next year!

This property and experience here blew me and my family away. Not only is the property absolutely gorgeous, but there are so many places to gather and spend time with your party or away from it all. While you could absolutely have an amazing vacation just staying at the property, the thing that makes this property truly special is Caterina, her family, and her passion for the property and desire to make sure that you have the best experience possible. Every tour planned, meal brought in and recommendation made was absolutely incredible. I definitely recommend not missing out on her many wonderful recommendations to truly elevate your stay at the villa and in Tuscany. It was an experience we won't soon forget!

If you want a central Tuscany location with beautiful views and a charming host this Villa has all that plus a heated pool. It was the perfect setting with multiple gathering areas both inside and outside for a group of 10. Caterina’s communication all through the process was over the top! Cate’s charming personality left us with nothing but warmth and a feeling of her genuine spirit of hospitality. Caterina arranged wine tastings, gave directions to trams, suggestions for dinner etc. Plus her family has an olive grove on-site that began olive harvest during our stay (early November). Which we all thought was a special treat & added to all the personal touches and care taken to keep this Villa an excellent choice for families and friends!

Beautiful Villa and location, there is something magical about this place! We are so thrilled we were able to enjoy this remarkable Villa. Cate made it so special and an incredible superb place to call home for a stay! Grazie di tutto!

Lovely remoteTuscany property. Scenery is beautiful! A must is to rent a car! The house is a long hilly mile from town (Impruneta.). It is also impossible to walk to town at night as there are no street lights. Cabs will not come for such a short distance.
Cate tries her best and was very helpful, picking up and delivering several dinners for us since we didn’t have a car. She also arranged for a driver to visit towns like Siena, ranging around 400 euros for half day trips. The driver must be confirmed in advance as they are quite busy.
Numerous 2 or 3 steps in most of the farmhouse rooms so care in navigating them is needed. We had a couple spills!
If you need help carrying suitcases up a flight of stairs, please make sure to tell Cate in advance so she can help.
There are lots of different sitting areas inside and outside which is nice.
The family is very lovely, having proudly owned the beautiful property for many years.
