We stayed in this beautiful and historic villa for 5 nights and honestly didn’t even begin to explore all there is to find on this massive property! Acres and acres of spectacular grounds, complete with orchards, vineyard and an amazing pool. An enormous interior, complete with common rooms filled with modern art, a well appointed kitchen and large lovely bedrooms. The lowest level of the villa was a maze of giant rooms that our family enjoyed exploring. The villa is filled with secret passageways, staircases and rooms that we didn’t even begin to uncover! You could spend several days just exploring this place! Look it up on google and you will discover the historical significance this villa had to the Medici family! Our hostess Benedetta was a delight to work with and always had an quick response to any of our questions. She had many wonderful suggestions and arranged a wonderful dinner one evening at the villa and Chef Genevra prepared us the most delicious 5 course dinner I have eaten in a very long time! All in all, the experience for my extended family of 12 was truly one we will all remember for a very very long time! Grazie Mille!

Our group of 12 (6 couples) enjoyed a beautiful time at this villa. Everything was clean, comfortable & beautiful. Benedetta, the villa manager, is wonderful to work with and attended to all of our needs while on property. The pool is a little slice of heaven. We will most certainly visit again.

This is the best VRBO experience I've had - the property exceeds expectations. Photos can't do it justice. It's more grand, well maintained, & rich with history than photos can show. The property manager, Benedetta, goes above & beyond. She acted almost as a concierge service by setting up cars, recommending & booking restaurants, and making sure our stay was as smooth & comfortable as possible. Upon arrival, Benedetta walked us around the property & shared some history. It's so rich in history which makes the stay all the more special. The view is spectacular, the property & home are so well appointed & maintained. The gardens are beautiful, the pool is immaculate, the bedrooms are clean, cool & have all the amenities you could want. We hired the recommended chef for all breakfasts & most dinners. Although we enjoyed getting off the property to see a local restaurant & Florence, it's not necessary. The best meals we had were at the home. Our chef, Ginevra, was incredible & so kind. I rarely say this because I love exploring new homes, but this will be a property we visit again. Thank you, Benedetta, & team. You manage this property so impeccably.

Beautiful property. Family of 9 had a wonderful stay!!

A beautiful setting in Tuscany with a great manager , Benedetta. Benedetta was a pleasure to work with and just a lovely person to meet. It’s set in a lovely small town with some fine restaurants within 10 minutes of the Villa and day trips to Florence are easy as well. The Villa was charming although could use some TLC but that didn’t stop us from having a great time there. If you are expecting a 5 Star hotel this isn’t it but this surpasses 5 Star hotels in many other ways.

Villa il Cerretino is a wonderful property. The grounds are meticulously kept and the home is well appointed and clean. The house is enormous. Our group of 10 had more than enough space and there are some rooms we did not even utilize! The pool area is the real highlight of the home. It's a gorgeous, large, clean pool that you could spend all week lounging at. Lastly, the host (Benedetta) and her staff are extremely professional and helpful, ready to answer any questions or give any recommendations. Highly recommend hiring a private chef come to the house at least once during your stay, this was one of the highlights of our trip.

We spent the most wonderful time at Villa il Cerretino. It was a special occasion for a big family reunion and holiday with friends. The house is absolutely beautiful, and the setting is poetic and peaceful. Benedetta, who manages the property, is fantastic. She helped us plan a birthday dinner, recommended good restaurants, and was always available to address any house needs. There is so much to explore in the area (Florence, Lucca, Pisa, to name just a few towns), and there are lots of sports activities with jogging paths, tennis and golf right nearby. Everyone had a great time. We will keep the most special memories of our stay here!

We stayed at the villa for 11 nigths, 10 adaults, 5 kids and 2 infants. Everything was as described, the house is HUGE and really well taken care of. We spent most of our days by the pool which was amazing. Benedetta was a dream host and was always ready to help and answer any questions we might have. All the staff we met were also wonderful. We had yoga, massage and one night with personal chef and wine tasting and I highly recommend all of it!

There are few words to describe HOW AMAZING our experience was at Il Cerretino. We hosted family and a couple friends (13 total) for a five-night stay + our wedding in early May. The weather was colder than usual, and it rained on our wedding day —and we can still look back and say it was AMAZING! Benedetta, our host, went above and beyond. Seriously. We have traveled extensively, and it’s rare to find hosts (and people in general) who are as hospitable and accommodating as Ms. Benedetta. The entire week was planned without ever seeing the villa — so we heavily relied on Benedetta’s guidance, suggestions and accommodations. Including a last minute change of plans to host our ~50 person wedding inside. The villa has so many different rooms, beautiful art, lots of seating, and plenty of open space downstairs. We couldn’t have planned it better. Not to mention, Benedetta was so helpful in arranging all the small details that weren’t a part of her job description as a VRBO host. She truly goes out of her way to make you feel at home. As for the villa and our stay, all the guests had plenty of space in the bedrooms. The extra bed was very useful too. Would strongly recommend for couples — as there are mostly queen sized beds in each room. All the bedrooms have their own bathroom, with one exception. The courtyards (!) are stunning. You can see Florence on a clear day. We loved how secluded the villa was. There’s a grocery store within a 5 min drive, which we used several times. Plenty of cups, plates, silverware, etc. And we loved the communal spaces. The villa is kept in MINT condition - inside and out. For as old as it is, they do an excellent job keeping up with the grounds, and interior to make it feel as though it’s new. If you look in the books & magazine room, you’ll find a 1978 Vogue Home Edition magazine. The villa has a 3-4 page spread written in Italian. The photos from 1978 might as well have been from last week - furniture and all. It’s incredible how well they’ve kept up with the place. If anything did come up, they are on top of it right away. Book this villa. Get to know Benedetta and the whole staff. Enjoy your stay in Italy!
