Perks for the Parents
This secluded villa with a pool, 15 minutes from Florence, offers a romantic and luxurious take on Tuscany, surrounded by cypress, olive and fruit trees. Staffed with a house manager and a chef with a babysitter/nanny also available, families are well looked after. Lounge by the pool and eat outdoors, either by the pool and in-ground hot tub or in the pergola next to the orchard of fruit and olive trees. If the relaxing pace of the Tuscan life is too slow for your kids, there is lots to do nearby - visiting villas, gardens, delicious restaurants, and more. If you are looking for a city full of art museums, architecture, shopping and restaurants, Florence is just a short drive away.
Why Kids Love it
Young children will enjoy exploring the garden, finding fruit on the trees and smelling the rosemary bushes. Swimming in the infinity pool overlooking the hills is fun for all ages, while the hot tub is super fun for kids old enough to enjoy safely. There are plenty of attractions a short drive away in the Tuscan countryside and the city of Florence.. A crib, high chair, baby toys and a baby bath can be provided on request, and babysitting is easily arranged with the house manager and her family who look after the villa.
Things to Know
Minimum stay: 7 days. The pool is not fenced, but it is isolated by lavender bushes and there are steps separating the pool and house. The pool is not heated but is very warm in the Tuscan sun and there is a brand new state-of-the-art in-ground hot tub. The 2 interior floors are also separated by ungated stairs. The house manager, Rossella, and her daughter Manuela, are wonderful with children and are available as a full time/on demand nanny. They both speak excellent English. The chef will prepare wonderful meals for the parents and kids to their taste. Car rental is essential in this area. The villa has central air conditioning, Erborio Toscano toiletries, a computer, WiFi access, SONOS sound and Apple TV, the kitchen will be stocked with basics, and there is a poolside welcome of Prosecco, nuts, fruit and canapes. Porter service and 4 hours of maid service are included daily, except Sunday. Guests’ laundry washed and folded on Monday and Thursday. Additional washing machine is available in the 4th bathroom. Upon request and for a fee, the hosts can arrange formal or informal dinners to be prepared, babysitting with English speaking member of their staff, cooking classes, Italian lessons for adults and children and arrangements for touring.

Style Notes
Modern Tuscany. The villa's interiors are luxurious and comfortable, with high beamed ceilings and large windows. Traditional fireplace surrounds and terracotta floors have rustic charm, while neutral rugs and upholstery create a calm, relaxing atmosphere in the living room. The dining room features the same garden views and a large inlaid-wood table, and the bright, open-shelved kitchen has a dishwasher, tabletop grill and cheery tile backsplash. We love the heavenly setting, the covered outdoor lounge and the spacious and luxurious bedrooms.
