Guests are delighted by the attentive staff, the historic elegance, and the array of amenities, including a pool and vineyard tours. The property offers a serene Tuscan experience with easy access to Florence, making it ideal for family gatherings and memorable holidays.
Reviewers consistently mention the villa's immaculate condition, with specific compliments on the cleanliness of both the rooms and the property as a whole. The presence of on-site staff ensuring daily upkeep contributes to the high standard maintained.
The villa's location in Tuscany, close to Florence and within walking distance to Impruneta village, is highly appreciated by guests. Its idyllic setting amidst olive orchards and vineyards offers a peaceful retreat while still being conveniently located for exploring the region.
Guests find the villa very comfortable, with spacious rooms and various areas to relax. However, some mention that the house can get warm and the beds are very firm, which might affect comfort for some visitors.
The villa is well-furnished with a large pool and beautiful gardens. The historic charm is complemented by modern amenities like an ice machine. Some guests note the presence of mosquitoes and the challenge of steps, but overall the facilities are highly regarded.
While the reviews reflect a high level of satisfaction with the service and amenities provided, there is no specific mention of gifts. Therefore, it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness based on the provision of gifts, and the score is set to null.
About this property
Marked by grand hallways and historic features dating back to 1300, this stately villa in Tuscany takes you back in time while enjoying modern amenities and a stellar location just outside the town of Impruneta in the Chianti wine region.
The vast estate boasts impressive features - from regal columns, a grand piano, and a gorgeous fireplace, to famed Impruneta cotto tiles. Multiple living rooms across two floors invite the group to spread out and relax, while the open kitchen and formal dining room inspires the group to come together.
Seven bedrooms reside across three levels, including an ancient tower that has been converted into a suite with stunning valley views. Along with the wine cellars, the basement hosts a small gym with a Finnish sauna for ultimate relaxation.
With a large pool and a myriad of outdoor lounge seating, the estate’s park will be a huge hit. Dine under the shade of a fig tree, have a nightcap beneath the stars, or enjoy morning coffee on the covered terrace.
While day trips to Florence are a must, the lively town of Impruneta will delight with its summer concerts, year ‘round festivals, and famous terracotta kilns and pottery painting workshops.
The exclusive Villa Impruneta is surrounded by vineyards and olive orchards in the hillsides of florentine Chianti, located on the road that connects Bagnolo to Impruneta. Villa Impruneta is located only 2 km from its namesake town. Impruneta is a very nice little town whose reputation is related to the production of cotto tiles. The cotto tiles of the Duomo in Florence were made in Impruneta. The famous tiles are included in the amazing ceilings of the villa as well.
Although the reputation of the estate is linked to the quality of its products (its wines and extra virgin olive oil have won a great number of prizes) guests are also likely to have interest in the historical and architectural elements of the villa.
Villa Impruneta is located only 12 km from Florence, a mere 20 minute trip by car. It is ideal for those who would like to visit the Uffizi or Ponte Vecchio without the inconvenience of finding parking for a car. In fact, the bus stops only 100 t from the villa's gate and takes guests directly to the center of Florence. The villa is also located close to Tuscany's main attractions: Siena, San Gimignano, Lucca, Pisa, and Cortona.
Villa Impruneta promises an unforgettable holiday in the beauty of the florentine hills among olive trees and vineyards, with the world's most famous monuments at hand.

The property is fantastic, and met all our expectations. Domitilla was easy to communicate with. She was always kind, professional, helpful and easy to deal with. The family history of the villa and property is special. Appreciated the breakfasts prepared and served daily. Very clean! Loved our stay!

Our week at the Villa surpassed all expectations for our family get together! The Villa is truly special. Each room had its uniqueness! The breakfast service was a treat and meals prepared by in-house chef were wonderful. The outside table setting just perfect. Imprunetta village is only a short walk away (though need to be wary of cars)Domitila readily answered all queries leading up to our trip which made planning easy. We loved our tour of the vineyard, cellar and tasting. We really couldn’t fault our stay. Highly recommend. Thanks to Domitila and her team

The property is exactly as described and better. Domitilla is just a text away to answer any questions. Marco, the wine manager is so passionate about his craft make sure you take the vineyard tour with him. Jesus and Willy, the custodians, are helpful and pleasant. Wonderful to wake up to coffee and toast all days apart from Sundays. They kept the villa and our rooms immaculately. The pool is large and was much used by us all during the heatwave. Truly I can't say enough about this property, we thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you.
