Exclusive 7BR-8BA Villa with pool, a few mins from town, yet in the countryside

Set within a 3-acre private estate, this magnificent 7BR – 8BA Villa dates back to the XVI century and enjoys the most amazing views across the Tuscan landscape filled with olive groves and cypresses.

The strategical position of the property nestled on the hills right above Florence, allows guests to both comfortably reach the city centre (only about 6 miles away) with its unique cultural attractions and at the same time enjoy the benefits of the Tuscan countryside with its plentiful options for rest and complete privacy.

Whether in summer cooling off in the private pool or in winter chilling in front of the fireplace, this charming estate offers a unique opportunity to experience Tuscany at it´s best, all year long with family and friends!

About the Property.
The property has been in the family since five generations. As a result of various successions it belonged to the Bardi´s a feudal and noble family of bankers relatives of the Medici´s, to then return to the Vespucci´s - descendant of the great Amerigo until 1820.
Since then, the historic estate has preserved its original wonderful characteristics and authentic Tuscan charm, whilst undergoing a complete renovation and careful restoration phase considering all modern comforts and facilities. Each room has been tastefully furnished and decorated with the finest local materials handmade by Florentine artisans.
The extensive secluded grounds ensure privacy and feature walking paths across roses and olive groves, from which excellent Olive Oil is produced every year (guests are welcome to taste it upon arrival). Perfectly kept at all times, the park offers multiple seating areas for al fresco dining and it is ideal for outdoor summer banquets.

The structure.
Spreading over a surface of about 7,500 square feet, with its 7 charmingly decorated bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, the property can comfortably accomodate up to 14 guests.

Structure of the Villa.
The main Villa is distributed over 3 main floors (plus the basement) and can welcome up to 14 guests. Each of the Villa´s 7 double bedrooms (with the typical high ceiling) includes an en-suite bathroom and air conditioning.

The Location.
One of the greatest assets of the villa is its location. In fact, the villa lies just about 6 miles away (approximately 15 mins by car) from the beginning of the historic center of Florence (Porta Romana square) and about 3.5 miles away from the lovely village of Impruneta, famous for its terracotta production. This allows guests to get into the heart of Florence in less than 20 minutes, while also having the chance to easily explore the Chianti region with its many wonderful villages and vineyards (among others Antinori´s wine estate is 13.4 miles away). The Chianti villages such as Greve, Panzano and Castellina in Chianti are all within an easy drive.
The Florence Airport (FLR) is about 14 miles away, while the “Santa Maria Novella” train station (Florence’s main train station) is about 7.7 miles distant.
The nearest restaurants and grocery stores are about 2.5 miles away.

A sublime sanctuary minutes from Florence
We had an amazing time at Villa Le Colline! The property is perfect for entertaining and relaxing with friends and family and conveniently close to Florence. The villa is very private, located amongst ancient olive trees and lush gardens. The owners clearly love and respect the history of the property. It is impeccable with every possible modern convenience for entertaining and relaxing with small or large groups. The owners were very responsive and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect.

My family and I (all sixteen of us including kids and a baby) had an experience beyond our wildest imagination. The villa is majestic! I highly recommend that you stay here and I hope I can do so again. It is located in an incredibly beautiful spot nestled in the Tuscan hills and offers amazing views of these surrounding environs. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable. The hosts are also very helpful and courteous. Don’t miss out on this experience!

Great times in Tuscany
Just came back from a fantastic trip to the Tuscany region. The property was as advertised! Our host Bianca was great and very attentive. She is extremely sweet and truly cares if you enjoy your time while visiting. The villa is roughly 20/25 minutes from Florence which is convenient. At times finding a taxi can be a challenge. Having said that, it always worked out in the end. If you are looking for a great spot look no more. We only wish we had a few more days in the area. Next time!

Bellissimo!
The Villa is exquisite. Beautifully kept - can't even imagine the work that a grounds crew must do to keep it so beautiful. We loved waking up to the birds chirping and sitting outside having our coffee. Bianca is an incredible host. Use the packet of information she provides! We booked chefs from there, restuarants in Florence and Impregnata. Highly recommend hiring a driver to shuttle you to nearby towns each day and night. I just left and I can't wait to return.

Wonderful stay and experience!
I cannot say enough good things about our stay at Villa Le Colline! We had a group of 10 that included 3 kids. Everything was wonderful from arrival to departure. Bianca is responsive, helpful, and truly makes you feel at home. The villa is spotless, equipped with everything you could need for a stay, and even more beautiful in person than in pictures. I highly recommend a pizza night with Christina - fresh baked pizza from the outdoor brick oven was amazing! I also recommend meals by or a cooking class with Antonella - we had a blast making homemade gnocchi as a group. Staying at this villa is not just a stay, it is an experience - and a wonderful one! Don't hesitate to book this villa!

We had the most wonderful & special time as a family at Villa Le Colline. Bianca is absolutely amazing - hugely helpful, immediately responded to messages, sweet, lovely and extremely warm & welcoming. We even had a homemade apple pie freshly baked for our arrival! The Villa is amazing, such a beautiful home & piece of history, much grander than I expected but with new & modern living spaces - gorgeous bedrooms & updated bathrooms, Aircon keeping us cool on the super hot days, lovely living areas to relax and a wonderful kitchen which was the heart of the home for our stay when we were indoors. We used the fabulous pool daily and it was perfect - there was endless swimming by kids and adults alike! All in all it was a fabulous & truly relaxing stay and a holiday we won’t forget! Can’t wait to come back!

This property and Bianca/Andrea could not have been any better
It is hard to emphasize "perfect" in words but I will try. We will remember this property and this vacation forever. Bianca and her mother, who was our host while Bianca was out of town, were perfect. Their communication and hospitality could not have been better. The villa and property are stunning. The house was built in the 16th century and is beautifully historic, but the bathrooms and kitchen are very modern. The kitchen is extremely well equipped for a large group. There are a number of areas, including an amazing room with a fireplace, for resting and relaxing. We stayed on the third floor and the extra steps each night were well worth the breathtaking Tuscan views in the morning and the private sitting rooms outside of the bedrooms. The property the villa sits on is stunning. It is so well maintained and the groves of olive trees are something out of a movie. Florence was a short drive and both Impruneta and Grassina are minutes away for shopping and restaurants. I will rally friends and family in the future just to come back and enjoy this villa and Florence. We have rented many properties over the years this one is the best by far. We cannot wait to return and see Andrea and Bianca again.

Beautiful Week in Tuscany
We stayed at Villa le Colline for a week in April, on a family trip for my father's 75th birthday. We had ten adults and one baby (6 months), and we spent our week visiting Florence and some of the smaller towns and areas throughout Tuscany. The villa was truly remarkable. It is about 20-30 minutes outside Florence, and easy enough to reach by cab or rental car from the airport or train station. The pictures do not do the building or the grounds justice--they are jaw dropping. The bedrooms and bathrooms are large and modernized, with beautiful views. The common areas (dining room, living rooms, kitchen, outdoors) are wonderful for gathering. Obviously staying in the countryside is not as convenient to Florence as a hotel in the city, but if you have a large group and want the magic of a countryside villa for everyone, it is hard to beat this villa. We considered others, but decided on this one because of how close it is to Florence, and we are glad we did not stay farther away. The house owner was very hospitable and accommodating as well. The villa already comes stocked with most of the necessities you need, and Bianca was a huge help in coordinating other things like groceries or local recommendations. Overall, this was a fantastic experience. I enthusiastically recommend this villa, and hope to one day return!

This place.....
There are few places like Italy to be with family and away from the world's worries. We chose this villa a short drive from Florence to spend our holiday. We were greeted with a hug, sangiovese and homemade pasta. Not surprisingly we ate, laughed a bit and retired for the evening after a long day of travel. The villa is what you would hope a preserved home in this area would be like. The living areas feel like Machiavelli could walk in at any moment yet every bathroom is brand new. A really nice balance. There is a fireplace in the kitchen and the living room. There are nice areas to eat in the kitchen, dining room and outside. Thankfully there is a nice gym in the basement and large enough grounds to walk off the meals that are invariably part of these trips. Bianca and her family have lived here for four centuries so any request is managed accurately and with speed. When you arrive at a restaurant you are recognized and treated with care. Her direction and influence are invaluable. Our family is grateful to have spent a holiday in Impruneta. If you are looking for a setting to enjoy Tuscany, this villa and these owners are as authentic as you will find.

Perfection in every way
The saying "pictures don't do it justice" applies here. The Villa far exceeded every expectation we had. The Villa itself is perfectly appointed with every amenity and luxury. Fully stocked, clean and well maintained while retaining all its copious historical significance. Every bedroom and bathroom are a tasteful and thoughtfully designed delight, every need met, right down to towel warmers. Linens are lovely and plentiful. The Villas kitchen is a historical treasure and a modern chefs delight with everything you could ever need. All other living areas, inside and out, are perfectly appointed, comfortable and fully functional. We were a party of 12 and rented both the Villa and guesthouse. We loved every minute we were there and even cancelled plans one day to simply enjoy the Villa and walk the beautiful grounds. Bianca was wonderful prior, during and after our stay. So gracious and welcoming and a wealth of information. Bianca even helped make some local calls for us to arrange services. We also used many of her local recommendations for Chef, Driver, and others; each one was an incredible joy to work with. We simply could not have loved our time at the Villa more. Each day and evening were spent in comfort, luxury and delight. We went in Nov/Dec so we didn't get to enjoy the stunning pool areas. We cannot wait to go back in the warmer months. This place is a treasure and experience you cannot afford to miss.

Enchanting Countryside Escape...
After months of researching and reviewing hundreds of available Villas in the Tuscany area, we chose Villa le Colline for a celebration gathering of friends and family from the US, Colombia, Germany and France. With friends who are experienced & well traveled, we knew we had to find the perfect Villa...and Villa le Colline exceed all of our expectations!!! Villa le Colline has kept its authentic beauty while adding contemporary amenities, resulting in a rare mix of history and luxury We rented both the Villa & Guest House for the week. What an enchanted estate to explore, relax, enjoy, eat, drink, laugh and make wonderful memories. Each primary suite has its own upgraded bathroom providing everyone with the luxury and privacy needed...and yes, AC helps on a hot summer day. We were nervous with the common areas not having AC, but Bianca was right, we didn't need it...as we did spend most of our time relaxing poolside. We selected Chef Cristina (one of the approved chefs listed) to serve us daily breakfasts and multiple dinners (including a wonderful pizza oven experience)...and a cooking class at her house. WOW, Cristina is the best by making all of our guests feel like we are part of her family. You can feel the love and passion in each bite we took. We felt like we've made a friend for life and hope to see Cristina again! The Villa's proximity to Florence is great as we were able to get taxi services to pick / drop us off for a night out. Hope to be back soon!

Villa Colline
The Villa is a very stately, beautiful and well taken care of by the family through the years. This was a celebration of our family/friends, as we are all celebrating milestone birthdays. As I stood in front of the mirror which was veined with age, in our bedroom, I was reminded the resiliency of time through the years! It gave the time we spent together as family/friends a greater perspective. The bathrooms have been beautifully updated. The kitchen is plentiful with houseware to feed the many guests, many courses! The hosts, Bianca and Andrea, were exceptionally responsive when asked/texted questions to guide us during our stay. Our only issue was air conditioning, which was exasperated by the high temperatures of 100 degrees during our stay. Both Bianca and Andrea were as responsive and attentive, as possible with the issue as it was not something they had control of with the high temperature or the lack of responsiveness in getting parts to fix. They made special efforts to continue to support us with fans, homemade apple cake and pesto for our meals. We also utilized the chef Antonella and her accomplice for two meals, and they were sensational! I will never eat lasagna again without remembering the best ever she created! Her creations are heavenly and not to be missed! This was a true memorable stay at the Villa and one that no one will ever forget…with stories to be shared for generations of our travels within Italy from this incredible Villa with amazing hosts!

MOST AMAZING VACATION EVER!
Our week at Villa Le Colline was nothing short of magical. Our multigenerational family, and some friends from across the United States stayed at Villa Le Colline for a week. The villa is breathtaking. Every room, every detail is perfect. It’s an amazing combination of old world charm, with modern bathrooms and amenities. The grounds are also impeccable. The pool was refreshing and picturesque. All of our guests were in awe of the facilities. During our stay, we also had an amazing, and intimate wedding celebration. Bianca, and her mom— our hosts —were accommodating, kind, and attentive. They immediately made us feel like family. Cristina our amazing cook made our stay feel even more special. She cooked us the most delicious breakfasts every morning, and dinner several nights. We also did a pizza night at the table in front of the Villa’s pizza oven and it might have been the best night of the trip! Bianca went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and special. We truly felt like she treated us like long lost family members! Whatever we needed, she handled — calmly and with grace. At the end of our trip, we were asked what if anything they could have done better. All 14 of us couldn’t think of one thing. It was THAT amazing. (And considering the majority of us come from NYC, that's pretty impressive!) We couldn’t have wished for a more perfect vacation and we were so sorry to leave! We’re trying to figure out how quickly we can return. We highly recommend it!

Wonderful Country Oasis in Tuscany!!
Our extended family of 12 people (ages 5 to 70) from the U.S. couldn't have been happier with our accommodations at Villa Le Colline. The historic Villa itself was perfect for our group. Everyone had their own comfortable bed in an air conditioned bedroom. Despite the unprecedented heat wave in Italy, the other non-air conditioned rooms stayed quite comfortable as well. The rooms were well-furnished and refreshed by housekeeping twice during the week. We particularly enjoyed jumping into the refreshing swimming pool after a sweaty day of sight-seeing. We also chose to take advantage of the chef and meal delivery services that were recommended to us by our host. The country location of the Villa is very private. While it is only a few kilometers from Impruneta and Florence, you really do need a car to get around. We rented 3 cars for our group so that we could go in different directions each day if desired. We were very glad that we did. One other caution is that there is no lift in the Villa. All of the bedrooms require climbing stairs to access. This wasn't a problem for us but it could be for others. Our host, Bianca, was very gracious and available to us any time we needed her. We were welcomed with a couple of bottles of wine upon our arrival and her mother, Andrea, even baked and delivered a breakfast cake to us a couple of days later! The information provided to us through the VRBO site and from Bianca after the Villa was booked was very complete and helpful.

A Most Memorable Experience
When a group of savvy and well traveled NY'ers (including myself as a lawyer and former travel agent) can definitively say that the villa, grounds and hospitality of the host were spectacular, that is high praise. The first night was spent on the grounds enjoying multiple fabulous brick oven pizzas, focaccia and Tiramisu (the absolute best and we tried a lot that week!) so that my group of 8 ladies who barely knew each other could relax and get to know each other. The villa's rooms with en suite baths were tastefully and elegantly presented - and while very much in the period, they were also modern and functional (not an easy task). Nothing was missing. The views were breathtaking from every room. The kitchen was well equipped and modern and Bianca was only a what's app call away for a recommendation or assistance. She even helped navigate 2 friends lost luggage - which surprisingly did not damper their spirit in this magnificent home. My special birthday trip with friends was exceptional as everyone had their own room and bath (very important to me) while getting together for meals and day trips. I only wish we had more time there as a week wasn't enough to fully enjoy the swimming pool and the inviting coffee table books that were everywhere. Practically speaking, (a) we rented 2 cars for 8 of us and the breathtaking drive to Florence from the villa is about 30 minutes (b) biking seemed impractical once off the grounds and (c) Bianca was not only friendly and full of practical information, but also very organized and efficient which I also very much appreciated. We loved it all!

Incredible Tuscany Experience
First, Andrea & Bianca could not be more welcoming and nice. Amazing hosts. The property is extraordinary. An amazing combination of old and new. We had 4 couples and then 3 other adults and all had rooms we loved. Each room has wonderful updated showers. Some said they didn't want to get out of the shower. LOL. The views from some of the rooms are spectacular. With windows open, the fresh air and the sounds of Tuscan nature (roosters gently woke some of us each morning) are indescribable. (I posted a picture of my bedroom view and people thought it was a photograph. We sat outside every night for after-dinner cocktails and it was warm enough to use the pool a couple of the days late Sept. Pool is also modern and relaxing. Any and all kitchen utensils were available, spices for cooking etc. We took advantage of their recommendation for a private chef (Alessio) for 2 of the nights and both experiences were delightful, including wine they included. One important point, not a criticism. Ville Le Colline is in the heart of Tuscany and many great destinations are accessible. Arezzo, Cortona, Sienna, Pienza, San Gimignano, Montepulciano...even Cinque Terre. Only 30 mins to center of Florence. BUT....we highly recommend a driver as getting in/out of Ville Le Colline is not easy if you don't know these roads. Tommaso was a suggestion from Bianca and he was perfetto! If you are looking for a true Tuscan experience, Ville Le Colline will not disappoint.

Heaven in Tuscany
Stunning property exactly as advertised. We spent days traveling to hill towns and nights enjoying wine at the villa. Mornings having coffee outside staring at the movie like landscape. 20 minutes to the Hill of Michelangelo that had parking and a great place to walk back to after 4 courses of pasta! 12 couples and the villa was perfect. We had a cooking class and a chef prepared meal and it was two highlights of the trip. Bianca was kind and provided all the info you need. Do it, it will be the trip of a lifetime!

Trip of a Lifetime
Let’s start by saying this is the best vacation home I have ever stayed at. Everything about this Villa exceeded my expectations and I look forward to one day returning and spending a longer time there. The Villa was exactly as advertised if not better. The host, Bianca, was beyond accommodating and helpful with everything from planning my party’s arrival to helping me with the events I planned on the villa grounds. This is one magical destination and I would go back in a heartbeat! Grazie Mille Bianca!!

Week in Impruneta
We had a wonderful stay! This is a beautiful and very special house. Location near Florence is great and easy to take day trips to Siena and explore many nearby wineries. Definitely recommend a car. Suggestions for tours, restaurants, and towns to visit were very helpful. Bianca was a great host and very attentive to anything we needed when we were there. One day we got locked out of the guest house and she was there within minutes with an extre key.
