Villa Marliana, Cerreto Guidi - Florence and Chianti

When you’re treating the family to a special holiday in Tuscany, it’s important to get the setting just right. That’s why Villa Marliana, a detached property big enough for 12 to share, is sure to delight your guests.

Firstly, there is the location. Villa Marliana enjoys a well-connected yet peaceful spot between Florence and Pisa, two showstoppers for sightseeing. To the north is Vinci, birthplace of Leonardo da Vinci and home to a fascinating museum about his life and work. To the south is the market town of San Miniato, famed for its truffle festival. And then there are all the wineries on your doorstep. Plenty for everyone to enjoy.

Secondly, Villa Marliana has the wow factor. There’s a private pool with sweeping views of the Tuscan countryside, a panorama that can also be enjoyed from the vast tree-lined lawns and two vine-covered terraces.

Inside, there are three large reception rooms with sofas to sink into and huge picture windows to gaze through. There’s an equally big dining room that will seat the whole gang or you could choose to eat around the table in the enormous kitchen.

All six bedrooms are generous in size and have their own bathrooms – in fact, a couple are better described as suites. Luxury touches include a four-poster bed, oversize showers, sitting areas, and double-aspect views of the countryside.

Most importantly, this villa oozes traditional Tuscany, with original hearths, terracotta floors and beamed ceilings. It’s all here, just waiting to welcome you and yours.
