Ancient Tuscan farmhouse surrounded by greenery breathtaking views, private pool

Il Palazzetto is built on a magnificent property of 3.5 hectares surrounded by olive groves, situated only 500m away from Pergine Valdarno, a village at the heart of the culture and art triangle of Florence, Arezzo and Siena. The fantastic unspoiled panorama surrounding the villa has been painted by Leonardo da Vinci, and today these paintings belong to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's private collection.

Decorated with exceptional taste and attention to detail, the property has been completely restored in 2004 and has been equipped with all modern facilities. On the ground floor there is a very large entrance leading to a beautiful sitting room with a fireplace and a grand piano, opening onto the garden. On this level there is also a twin bedroom and a bathroom.

Stairs lead up to the first floor where one will find a Tuscan kitchen, a large dining room with an old stone fireplace, four doubles and a single bedroom with two bathrooms, a TV room with satellite TV, and a corridor leading to a covered panoramic terrace. A pool house with an open sitting plan and a barbecue is situated near a fantastic infinity-edge swimming pool (12m x 6m) surrounded by fruit trees.

All rooms are equipped with air conditioning.
Fitness room and private parking are also available.

Private Chef available upon request.

Stunning views and amazing host
Anna was a fabulous host - incredibly quick and helpful in her responses to our questions and requests. Her home is stunning with amazing views of the countryside. We spent 90% of our time out on the beautiful patio and by the pool. Would definitely use her recommendations for chef and driver, as they were also great!

Great Tuscan Villa In A Central Location
The Old Tuscan Farmhouse was perfect for our family and is exactly how it is described. The villa is old but charming and appreciated the modern updates that were completed several years ago. Every bedroom in the villa was unique and very large in size. Of course, the best room was the outdoor patio with breathtaking sunset views over the Tuscan hills. This is where we spent most of our time and expect others will too. Thanks to Anna and the team for a wonderful stay!

The property was spectacular, and we really enjoyed our time there. We stayed for 12 nights this summer, and found that it exceeded our expectations. The location for exploring the nearby area was great, and the host was very accommodating. We would recommend this property. The covered deck is outstanding, and we spent most of our time there.

A wonderful house in a fabulous location. We enjoyed every room, from the library to the pool area. the open sided dining and sitting area was where we spent most time. The view is spectacular and it always had a cooling breeze.Had it not been for the neighbouring dogs running around the property in the morning and barking at night it would truly have been paradise.

A lovely, peaceful villa
Our family of six had a lovely stay at Anna’s old Tuscan farmhouse. Like any rental, there are pluses and minuses to consider, but it all comes down to the type of experience you’re looking for. For us, we wanted the quintessential Italian villa experience and this rental was just absolutely perfect for that. The home is beautiful, but of course old, so you have to accept its rustic charm and all of its character and history with a little dust, cobwebs and a few bugs. The location is great too. We wanted something quietly situated in the countryside, away from the tourist crunch, but close enough to reach most of the major cities and villages in Chianti and Val d’Orcia. The location was perfect for quickly getting in and out for easy day trips in both directions, but secluded enough that you could enjoy the peace and quiet once you got back. There were many times during our stay where it felt like we were the only people for miles (when in reality we were just a short 5m walk from the lovely local village, Pergine Valdarno). One last thing I’d like to mention is the terrace and the pool. Both are absolutely stunning for their commanding views of the valley. Many mornings (and nights) were spent on the terrace, watching the quiet valley wake, or the sun setting. Likewise, our kids really enjoyed the pool. It was bigger than we expected, clean and again, just amazing views. I hope someday we’ll be able to return. I highly recommend staying at this property.

Big House
We enjoyed our stay but I was surprised that none of the three bathrooms was directly connected to any of the four bedrooms on the main floor. This was okay because our group was old friends but might be less comfortable for less informal gatherings. This floor was also a bit noisy (thin walls, hard floors and loud door closings). The kitchen is workable and the view from the covered porch is magical. The downstairs bedroom in the main house is the least desirable but the annex bedroom is lovely.

Wonderful villa
We had a very happy week staying in Anna’s beautiful old family villa. We were lucky enough to be greeted by her and shown around. The setting is beautiful and just the right walking distance to the village where you can eat, have a drink and buy prepared food if you wish. The villa has lots of space and charming living areas so we ate in several locations from by the pool in the ‘loggia’ with the large open BBQ to the outside dining table but most enjoyed was the ivy clad open sided terrace on the first floor with huge seating and dining areas and heavenly views. The villa is old and has immense charm which Anna and her family have kept just right. The bathrooms are modern and the kitchen is well stocked. Thank you Anna

Just Wow!
My family of 9, across three generations, stayed at this beautiful villa in July. Everything about it was simply amazing. The views were gorgeous. Despite the extreme temperatures, we never felt too hot inside or outside. The air conditioners all worked beautifully in the bedrooms and the rest of the home always felt cool. As the pictures illustrate, there are a lot of indoor and outdoor spaces for people to spread out - though, we tended to congregate on the covered balcony, in the pool, or by the pool table. It was hard to leave at the end of our stay. Everyone absolutely loved it. Thank you for sharing your special home with us. We hope to return one day.

Incredible location and stunning property
This is one of the loveliest places I have ever visited. The house, the garden, the pool are all amazing. It's a short walk to the town where there is a restaurant, pharmacy, bakery, bar and cafe. My only criticism (and this is a very minor one) is that the owners did not provide some very basic essential items like adequate toilet rolls, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, surface cleaner/disinfectant, soaps etc. so it was necessary on the first day to shop for these. The bedding, towels and pool towels were all fine and the kitchen is well stocked with all utensils and cooking pots and pans. The location is perfect for visiting Florence, Siena and Arezzo. Overall, I can highly recommend this property, but take the above comments into account.

Beautiful Rustic House
We loved our stay in Pergine Valdarno. The house is very rustic but has everything we needed. Anna was very helpful and quick to respond with any questions. Fabrizio made us some delicious meals and we had a great cooking class with him too. The location is nice to walk into the village for dinners too.

Unforgettable experience
We stayed at Anna's villa for two weeks with family. It was magical. The property is stunning, and equipped with everything you could ask for and more. All bedrooms have air con, and the villa itself was quite cool even during the heat wave we experienced. We spent hours in the pool and on the gorgeous terrace. It is an ideal location for trips to Arezzo, Siena, Florence etc. And we highly recommend cooking classes and private dinners by Chef Fabrizio. The town is just a short walk away for a cafe, or play on the playground. Thank you Anna, Bruno and Fiorenza for everything. We can't wait to come back!

Heaven, beauty, history and charm in Tuscany
We stayed in this beautiful villa for 1 week with 3 other couples. It was stunning! To drive up and see the gorgeous vines in this lovely farmhouse, surrounded with olive grows and perched high on a hill overlooking the Chianti region was a dream come true. Being in the house was like stepping back in time yet we had everything we needed, lovely comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms, a complete kitchen and many places to sit and enjoy the house and each other’s company. We made a lovely dinner one night and sat outside in the patio with candles and moonlight. The pool area was breathtaking and a great place to relax and the outdoor patio amazing. We took a fantastic cooking class one day with Fabrizio at the villa! Anna was extremely kind and always got back to me immediately with answers to my many questions. We were sorry we didn’t get the chance to meet her in person, but Fiorenza and Bruno were helpful with everything. It was a magical week in Tuscany,one of the most beautiful places in the world. We will never forget our time here and hope to come back soon! Thank you Anna for everything!

Beautiful house with an incredible view!
Beautiful Tuscan farmhouse with an indescribably stunning view over the surrounding vineyards and olive groves. The house is well-maintained and contained everything we needed for a 2-week stay. The property manager was very responsive when we had any issues and made some great suggestions for restaurants, places to visit, and a personal chef for delicious home-made meals and cooking classes. The pool was a favorite spot, especially as it also enjoys the magnificent view, and we found ourselves enjoying drinks on the covered porch most evenings, as we enjoyed the gorgeous sunsets over the Tuscan hills. Delightful. I should mention that it was incredibly hot for the 1st week of our stay (over 95 degrees F/ 40 degrees C each day), which made the house rather hot. Unfortunately, the only bedroom with air conditioning is in a separate part of the house with its own entrance, so the majority of the bedrooms were very hot at night, even with the windows wide open and the fans on. This was the only part of our stay that was uncomfortable, but I will say that we were under the impression that the house was air conditioned and disappointed to learn it was only in one bedroom. Perhaps they could add air conditioning units in the bedrooms during the hot summer months? Otherwise, our stay was idyllic in every way - this is a beautiful home with a to-die-for view!

Once in a Lifetime Villa
The villa is truly exquisite and unique. I remember our entire group of friends and family gasping and smiling when we walked inside. We were so excited to discover that the villa was even more remarkable than the photos we had seen. It’s very spacious and the pool and it’s incredible view were stunning. Once again, I cannot stress this enough, the pictures do not completely convey how beautiful the villa and surrounding landscape are. We spent every night on the candlelit patio that is covered in vines overlooking rolling Tuscan hills. We had a fast, courteous and wonderful communication with the owner. Anna was always very quick to respond and incredibly helpful, especially in recommending the wonderful Chef Fabrizio, who not only cooked a dinner for us, but also hosted a cooking class. The only thing that I would encourage the owner to do is write a detailed description of the villa since we made a few assumptions that were incorrect. For instance, there is only AC in one of the bedrooms on the ground floor (not a big deal since it’s rare to find AC in Europe) and there are two bedrooms with their own bathrooms (also on the ground floor). Which means there are four bedrooms on the second floor that share three bathrooms. The bedroom with AC also has its own entrance outside of the building. I should have asked for more specifics instead of assuming since there is no description, which is on me. But I think it would be helpful to include a description. Regardless, the villa lived up to more than our expectations and it was incredibly magical.

Magnifiques vacances dans cette belle villa
Nos vacances en famille (6 adultes et 6 enfants) ont été idéales : la villa est grande et accueillante, le jardin super et la piscine paradisiaque... Nous avons passé beaucoup de temps également sur la terrasse - ce qui nous a permis de profiter de magnifiques couchers de soleil et d'être aussi à l'extérieur (et protégés !) lorsque les orages grondaient ... Tout était parfait ! Un grand merci à Anna pour sa réactivité et à Fiorenza pour son accueil sur place ! Juste à savoir : une chambre à coucher est indépendante (accès par l'extérieur) et penser qu'il y a des escaliers pour accéder à la cuisine et salle à manger et à la terrasse !

Magical, relaxing, perfectly perfect - heaven on earth!
As a group of 12 adults and a little little one we've spent the most wonderful, stunning and relaxing holidays in this incredible paradise. The house itself offers lots of space, even more history within an amazing architecture inside and outside. The pool area is awesome and even when all of us were spending time around the pool it never felt crowded. We enjoyed every single moment in the villa and its surroundings :) From the BBQ, the pool, the piano, the kitchen, the architecture, the garden - there are magic and perfect holiday moments everywhere! Thank you again to Anna herself and also to Bruno and Fiorenza for making this vacation an unforgettable experience!! We'll definitely come back next year :)
