HISTORICAL RESIDENCE CHIANTI private swimming pool 30 km from FLORENCE

We brought a group of first-time international travelers to Villa Bruschetti, and it was absolutely perfect. The villa itself is full of historic charm—spacious, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. Each room was thoughtfully appointed, and the grounds were stunning, with peaceful views in every direction.One of the best parts was the excellent location. It served as the perfect home base for our many day trips to enjoy the beauty of the Tuscan countryside—Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, Vinci, and more were all within easy reach. After each adventure, we returned to the serenity of the villa to relax, and gather over shared meals.Our hosts were warm and attentive, helping us with every detail to ensure our stay was smooth. This was a truly unforgettable experience, and we wouldn’t hesitate to come back. Highly recommend!

Beautiful property and old world charm. Perfectly located and lovely hosts.

We had a wonderful time in Italy. The property was lovely with so much history. The grounds were beautiful. We travelled the area and met great people. We enjoyed all the restaurants. We travelled to Venice, Lucca, and Florence. It was a wonderful place to stay and travel from. Can’t wait to return! Nancy and Brendan

The Villa is sensational. Certainly not modern but so much character and the addition of AC units in some of the bedrooms is a huge help in the Summer. Federica and Alessandra were super helpful and responsive. Worth mentioning that the villa is 10 min drive from Empoli and 40 mins from Vicenze so you need a car but we had a superb 2 week stay. Also book Federica's cook, she's a marvel!

The house was once very grand, the setting is dramatic, and it accommodates a large family gathering (we had 13 adults and used every bedroom). All the rooms are large with plenty of space for child beds to be added (our group included a few young children). Large groups can be seated together for dining both inside and out. One issue is the absence of window screens, resulting in having to choose between letting in the mosquitos or closing it up and having it feel a bit dark and musty. But all in all, a memorable home base for a Tuscan vacation.

Our extended family stayed at this wonderful villa for ten days in late June. The villa itself was lovely, roomy and extremely comfortable. And, the villa's location was perfect for daytrips throughout Tuscany. Federica and Allesandra were lovely and incredibly helpful and responsive. They even arranged for a private chef to prepare dinner for our granddaughter's 10th birthday celebration. She was thrilled and we all enjoyed the fantastic meal out on the front terrace. (Thank you Simone!) We would happily return to this incredible villa!

We were 14 People, spending a whole week in this great old lady, Villa bruscette. There was much Space, a wonderful terrace, a nice pool and very kindly owners Francesca and Alexandra. They made our holidays realy great. Thank you so much.

We spent one week with several couples in this house, the house is ancient which makes it charm, the rooms are large and there is plenty of space in the house not to feel crowded in spite of being 15 people. The Kitchen is very modern with everything needed to cook. Location is very good, 10 min away from highway and central to Tuscany which makes it very practical to visit Tuscany main touristic places (Florence, Siena, Lucca, Pisa, etc). If you prefer to stay the house also offers the best to enjoy ferniente, the pool, bbq, and excellent terrace with views where to taste delicious chianti. Finally, hosts Federica and Alessandra are extremely helpful, we had a couple of extra needs which they helped us solve, to meet them was indeed much of the joy of the stay .

My family (grandparents, sister in law, us and our daughter) spend 9 amazing days in this beautiful villa - we liked to call it our castle. It's like going back in time! The surroundings are beautiful, the villa is very comfortable, the bedrooms and bathrooms are great, the kitchen is very user-friendly and the common areas - several places to sit and chat, play, etc - are so welcoming. We loved everything about it! Last but not least, since we were there in the July (super hot time of the year), we took advantage of the pool a lot! Frederica and her daughter Alexandra are very nice and welcoming, and made our stay very easy. We did a lot of day trips to Florence, Sienna, Pisa, the seaside, Ceralto, Vinci - all of these were very accessible, within 30min to 1h driving distance from the house. We would love to come back here one day!

We had a wonderful week here with 2 other families. This is a great location for day trips and for enjoying some relaxing time with family and friends. The house is gorgeous. I bet it would be a perfect place to spend Christmas too. If you stay, request to have a private chef cook you dinner. The food was amazing, it really was a dream come true. We hope to visit again!
