About this villa rental

The villa spreads into 3 independent non- communicating apartments, each one with an independent entrance. The apartments, although divided, are exclusively reserved for the same group of friends/family: NO-SHARING with other guests.
The villa adjoins a different property, from which it is completely separated by hedges or walls to ensure the privacy of our guests.

On arrival at Villa Salivolpe, one instantly breathes the fresh green air of the Tuscan countryside and is overwhelmed by the stunning 360° views offered by the location.
Being just 20 miles from the city of Florence and 30 miles from Siena, the villa is ideally situated to experience Tuscany at its very best!
The historic district of Florence starts approximately 15 miles away, about a 20-minute drive by car. Florence Airport is about 20 miles away. You may reach the nearest village on foot but a car is strongly recommended for moving around at the discovery of the many little villages, of local producers or of the main art cities.

From the top of the hill, where the house nests, the views are stunning, and watching the sunrise or the sunset over the rolling hills is an amazing experience. Children can enjoy running freely in the fields, and playing outside where there is plenty of space to roam.
Surrounded by olive groves, the beautifully kept natural private lawn/garden, as well as the panoramic paved and covered terrace for enjoying your dinners al fresco, or simply reading a book, offer a peaceful and quiet atmosphere at all hours.

Just a few steps ahead you enter the villa which is split into three fully-serviced apartments, (called Nespolo - Melograno - Salice) spread over three floors, each one with independent entrance, providing maximum privacy and comfort for large groups, when needed, but also offering common spaces where you can live, eat or simply rest altogether.
The house is adjacent to another property, but hedges and walls along the border eliminate any contact with the neighbors.

Entering the main door of the largest apartment (Nespolo), one is welcomed into an open space with a fully-equipped cozy kitchen corner; a wide dining area with a beautiful long table seating up to 16 people; and a living area with couches, a coffee table, and television.

All the apartments have a fully equipped kitchen corner and a living area.

8 bedrooms are double:
4 king-size bedrooms, yet beds can be separated
2 potential king-size bedrooms, but with single sheets
2 twin bedrooms
A 9th small twin bedroom is available(apt.Nespolo), but it needs to share a bathroom with the next room.

All rooms have mosquito nets, shutters, and stunning views!

The villa borders with a neighbour villa but it is totally fenced with a thick edge to guarantee privacy.

Open from May to September (dates to be defined each year depending on the weather), the private swimming pool (5x10 meters) with salty water is also in a panoramic position. One can walk around the olive groves, or enjoy sunbathing on our outdoor furniture (parasols and sun-beds)
It is the ideal place to relax and appreciate the beautiful, old, olive fields surrounding the house.

There is an infinite variety and availability of local food products that you can buy directly from the producers in the area. Simply turn down any road in the countryside and keep an eye out for the small signs put up to attract customer interest.

Less than one hour away from all the “must-see” art cities of Florence, Siena, and Lucca, the area offers many gems to visit. Just take the back roads to discover them and you will be left with memories as lasting and intense as those to be found in the mandatory sites.
Don't expect many tourist sights around the corner, just walk and wander, go to the nearby vineyard for a wine-tasting, or visit the sheep farm nearby where excellent cheese is made from the local milk

Apart from once belonging to the Strozzi family, little is known of this property. Perhaps a small cloister dating back to the XII century, while other portions were added later. We bought it in 1998 and after restructuring and renovating it, we have always treated it as our dream home for weekends and holidays, as we live and work in Milan.
The house is full of charm and is very near to all amenities, as well as many good restaurants, and, of course, shops near San Casciano!!
We have a couple of bicycles in our storeroom; get on them and explore the area!

There is also a wood oven where you could bake bread, cook pizzas, or simply cook anything you like. Everything will have a better taste cooked in there. An area with an old stone table, just outside the Nespolo apartment, looking over the swimming pool, allows freedom without worrying about dirt in the house.

Besides many other activities, one can play tennis in Ponterotto, where there is also a beautiful walk along the river and a Trattoria to stop by for a snack or lunch; or go horseback riding in Santa Cristina; or book a tour in a hot air balloon in Montagnana.
Banks, post offices, pharmacies, and a hospital are all less than 15 min drive away, either in San Casciano, Tavarnelle or Montespertoli.

The absolute quietness, the land, and the light of this place will make your stay a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We really hope your holiday will meet, and possibly exceed your expectations.

THE VILLA IS NOT FULLY ACCESSIBLE FOR WHEELCHAIRS, IT IS AN OLD VILLA AND IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS IN THAT SENSE.

-Before arrival, you will be asked for copies of your ids for registration to the local authorities.
- Tourist tax to be paid in cash at arrival: €1.50 per person for a maximum of 7 nights.
-During winter there is an extra charge for heating.

The property was nice. Set up was good for our family. Pool was great. Dining room table and living room was great for large families. You really need a car to stay here but within an hours drive of Florence, Florence train station, Sienna, and San Gimingnano and other Tuscany areas. COOP grocery store is about a 15 minute drive. Not owners fault it was so hot this summer but only air conditioning in 1 room.

Although dated, with small kitchen in main apartment, Villa Salivolpe accommodated ten older adults with plenty of private room and a great common dining table where our chefs served wonderful meals. (Slippery-shower stalls could use mats. ) “Rustico” is what one of our group called the Villa. Also given its peaceful isolation, having a car is highly advised!

Exceptional hospitality in Tuscan countryside and super relaxing stay in a family home
Exceptional hospitality in Tuscan countryside and super relaxing stay in a family home
We just completed a super relaxing and pleasant stay in Santa Cristina. Thank you Piero for sharing your home with us. Your generous advice on which places to visit, where to have dinner on the night we decided to go out, where to buy the best Fiorentina and groceries…. Thank you for all the insider tips! We took advantage of the guides we found in the house. It’s clearly a family that appreciates culture. We loved the informal, rustic yet practical setting. Beds are nice and firm, bathrooms comfortable and there is a washing machine. Piero made this a real vacation for our group. The home has a marvelous genuine lived-in feel yet is spotlessly clean, organized well and is a pleasure to stay in. As a visitor you can really feel the family’s passion for their land, the olive oil that they make themselves, the 360 degree views over this exceptional area. This is an ideal vacation home for a group of friends because of the ample multiple indoor and outdoor spaces that are both comfortable and functional. We used the big shaded outdoor stone table every day and the pool was a lifesaver in this hot weather! Our group agreed that this pool has one of the most amazing views over the Tuscan hills and olive groves that we have ever seen on many trips to Tuscany. I’m happy to say that we did not experience the cigarette smell that a previous visitor noticed. I am pretty sensitive to tobacco smells so this was important to me. Thank you Piero for answering promptly our various queries and giving us advice on what to visit in Florence. We’ll definitely be coming back!

It was great to have all the space for extended family - and most bedrooms with their own bathroom. We ate many meals at the large table in the back yard, and the pool was great to come home to at the end of the day. Even when it was hot, keeping the windows closed during the day was enough to keep the place cool. A few minor issues - the furniture on the front patio was not in great condition, sometimes the water pump was loud at night upstairs, the road leading to the villa had some large ruts that our small rental car bottomed out on.
