Villa Montalbano 12, Cerreto Guidi - Florence and Chianti

7 bedrooms 4 bathrooms Private Pool 5 - Superb - Superb 5

High on a hill near Vinci, birthplace of Leonardo, this villa can easily host parties of 12-13 friends or family who wish to holiday together. There’s plenty of space for everyone here, with the added bonus of a separate, self-contained studio in the garden. There is much to explore nearby, and not just for art lovers – outdoorsy types will enjoy the excellent walks thorough the surrounding olive groves and vineyards. The connection to the outdoors is also emphasised in the design, with most of the downstairs rooms opening onto a wraparound veranda.

All rooms are bright and spacious, with whitewashed walls and glass doors opening onto the garden. The main house features two large lounges and dining areas, a kitchen with ample room for preparing meals and a rustic wood-burning oven. All bedrooms have their individual styles, with intricate iron beds, chandeliers and patterned curtains. Across the lawn, the annexe is a nice little hideaway. And you’ll all love the private pool, which overlooks the valley and has a lovely sun terrace with loungers and tables – the perfect spot for a relaxing sundowner.

Our Thoughts
With both a main house and annexe, this villa offers guests a wide range of accommodation options. And it’s a great a place from which to explore the birthplace of one of the world’s greatest artists, or to just relax in the comfort of your own garden. Those keen to discover the culture of Florence are within easy reach of the city, just 46km away. After a day of exploring, watch the setting sun turn the hills from green to gold as you lounge by the pool, or enjoy a barbecue together on the veranda.

Wir haben die Villa vom 29.07-05.08.2023 gemietet. Die Lage ist super - wundervoll in den Hügeln der Toskana gelegen. Das Haus ist gross und die Zimmer ebenfalls mit genügend Platz. Der flache Rasen eignet sich super für Spiele draussen und der Pool ist ebenfalls wunderschön. Leider hat die Abfallentsorgung nicht immer funktioniert - der Abfall wurde von der Gemeinde nicht jeden Tag abgeholt/geleert. Die Küchenutensilien waren bei Übergabe teilweise nicht alle sauber aber nach einem kurzen Abwasch war alles zu unserer Zufriedenheit ;-) Michele war ebenfalls immer sehr hilfsbereit und hat sich um die Umgebung gekümmert. Grundsätzlich hat die Übergabe und die Erreichbarkeit der zuständigen Personen gut funktioniert.
Local attractions Pizzeria Chest' E' , Via P.Le Cerretese, Cerreto Guidi ist empfehlenswert.
To Tuscany team comments for this review:
Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung. Wir freuen uns sehr, dass Sie einen schönen Aufenthalt hatten und dass das Haus geräumig genug für Sie war. Es tut uns leid zu hören, dass die Müllabfuhr nicht so regelmäßig war, wie Sie erwartet haben. Wir werden uns mit dem Team vor Ort in Verbindung setzen, um diese Details zu klären.
