About this property

The Villa sits in the Chianti Classico hills among olive groves and cypress trees, just 20 km from Florence. Enjoy beautiful views and a private pool nestled among the vineyards.
Our Villa sleeps 10 people, with 5 bedrooms with AC and 4 bathrooms.
The villa is full of authentic touches, such as frescoed ceilings, and original wooden beam ceilings and terracotta floors. Enjoy your meals outside on our shaded patio just outside the kitchen, and relax by the pool or in one of our comfortable, elegant living rooms.
Unlimited internet WiFi available, plenty of outdoor areas and absolute privacy.
Great location for exploring Tuscany: easy day-trips to Siena, Florence, Lucca, San Gimignano, Pisa and of course the Chianti Classico region with its famous wineries.

The town of San Casciano Val di Pesa is 4 km away from the villa: there is a good quality supermarket (also open on Sunday morning), pharmacy, gas station, restaurants and shops of all kind. On Monday morning there is a weekly market in town.

San Casciano is a lively, hilltop town: all year long locals meet in the historic centre locals to chat and have a coffee, do their everyday shopping at the charming small stores, and children stop for a gelato on the walk home from school. Here you can have a taste of authentic Tuscan life side by side with people who live in the town year round, instead of a tourist trap.

Charming villa but byo everything

There is no doubt this is a charming 400yo villa in a great location in Tuscany. San Casciano is the nearest town and has great restaurants and amenity. As an old villa you can expect rustic conditions especially regarding plumbing. However, we were disappointed that there was absolutely nothing in the way of basic house provisions. You have to bring your own everything. We had to go and buy bin liners, dishwashing liquid, soap, salt, pepper… basic things for our week long stay. Of course we didn’t expect fresh food but in our experience some basic kitchen provisions would have been nice. There weren’t any suggestions for local things to do either - that would have been another nice touch. It was cold during our stay in May but we weren’t allowed to use heating down stairs! Despite these annoying circumstances we had a great stay in Tuscany. There is so much to do.

Great Location

We loved the location and the grounds. The villa is nice but needs some repairs and maintenance and the furnishings, bedding and decor are in need of updating. The beds are hard and the pillows are hard and flat. The owner was easy to work with and we enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful Tuscan Villa

We were 4 adults & 3 children (under 7 years old) staying in this well maintained historic home for a week in June. Communication with Sabrina was easy & she was quick to respond and accommodate, both prior to & during our stay. She immediately replaced a broken coffee maker, she provided extra towels upon request (for the pool), & she accommodated us for a very early departure. The charming town of San Casciano is 10 minutes away; with a supermarket and several restaurants. The house is conveniently located for touring Tuscany, about 10 miles south of Florence. We used it as a hub for day trips throughout the region; Florence, Pisa, Luca, Sienna, Greve, Radda, San Gimignano & other places. The large, clean pool was delightful to use after touring throughout the day. The house has been upgraded with all modern fixtures (bathroom & kitchen), is very comfortable and was extremely clean when we arrived. It has the convenience of air conditioning in the bedrooms but due to the ideal weather & stone structure we didn’t have to use it. The only problem we experienced was with the electronic entry gate. It didn’t work properly. Sometimes it took us 15 minutes to get out of the property. It was especially concerning when we were leaving the property to catch a train for the next part of our journey. We informed the owner but that had not yet been repaired. We would highly recommend this magnificent, historic property as a Tuscan hub for extended families and groups of friends.

Wonderful Tuscan Vacation

This very nice restored classic farm house is wonderfully located for relaxation and activities. Our group had bikes delivered by a local shop. Everyday the group spent hours biking through this Chianti region. Afterwards the pool provided much relaxation. The location among the rolling Tuscan hills is breathtaking. The location is also an active farm where we purchased plenty of Chianti Classico and olive oil. Location is a few minutes from plenty of shops and grocery stores. We took the tram to Florence from a station 20 minutes away. We highly recommend this location for a large group.

Exquisite family farmhouse in a breathtaking location

This spacious farmhouse is situated on a stunningly beautiful hillside in Chianti. The pictures do not do it justice! It was literally one of the most beautiful places we have every stayed. The property was surrounded by olive trees, vineyards, cypress, and citrus trees. The landscape was beautifully maintained. The farmhouse had surprisingly spacious bedrooms and common areas. There are frescoes on the ceiling, beautiful but functional furniture and a wonderful outside table with ample seating. It is perfect for a group or large family. We used this as a base for our travels to Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Sienna, and Cinque Terre. The pool was a welcome retreat after site seeing each day. We used the pizza oven to grill one night, as well as the ovens. All the appliances worked well and the air-conditioned bedrooms allowed us to sleep comfortably. A few nights, we opened windows (all screened) as it was cool outside, and the ac wasn't needed. Sabrina was extremely helpful and even came over to help us figure out the washing machine one day. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone coming to this area. Our group actually voted to skip a day of sightseeing just to enjoy being around the property. It was just perfect all the way around! My only suggestion would be to have the farmhouse history detailed for guests. Sabrina mentioned it had been in the family for 400 years and we would have loved to know the full history of this beautiful farmhouse and property!

Tuscany Family Trip

The Villa was all we expected and more! Sabrina even opened the beautiful pool a couple of days early and we capitalized on it with some beautiful weather. My only recommendation would be to place some more specific written instructions upon checkin to cover more details on such things as: obtaining trash bags, operating 1st floor heating, what to do with trash, linens and such upon departure.

Wonderful Tuscan farmhouse

We were 4 married couples on vacation and this house was perfect. It was even better than the pictures. The bedrooms are huge. Contrary to some previous reviews, the kitchen is very well stocked. We cooked dinner 3 times and had everything we needed to make a big meal. We also used the outdoor oven fire pit to cook meat. We had a little issue with one of the showers and Sabrina had a plumber come that very same day to fix it. The property is so clean, lush and well looked after. The pool is very big and so clean, we really enjoyed how refreshing it was after a hot day of sightseeing. The location is also really good. An easy drive into town for groceries and to get to all the other little towns in Tuscany. We would definitely stay here again.

Semaine familiale en toscane

Magnifique jardin très bien entretenu, en position dominante, au cœur de la toscane. Immense piscine, entretien matinal quotidien par notre hôte. Maison de style toscan, rustique, propre. Malgré les dégâts de la tempête, la réactivité de Sabrina et de Lorenzo, ( jardin dévasté, fuites d’eau à l’intérieur de la maison, coupure d’électricité) a été exemplaire pour rendre notre séjour agréable ( nettoyage du jardin rapide, mise à disposition d’un générateur autonome..). Un grand merci à nos hôtes pour tout ces efforts. Un séjour familial inoubliable dans une merveilleuse région .

Lovely Tuscan villa

The locale is superb though a car is a must. House is clean with some lovely features, but as previous reviews have stated , it needs just a few basic extras to make the stay even better. We all said what a lovely villa it is and had a wonderful time. If you want five star with all the mod cons, this property is not for you. If you want true Tuscan rustic then it definitely is! It is such a shame that such simple little things which would really make a difference have not been done despite previous reviews e.g Basic kitchen equipment - 3 tumblers for 10 people, only wine glasses available. A microwave , Some small sharp knives A cupboard for food not just a table top - in 36 degree heat with insects and ants this would really help A bin in each bathroom and hand soap dispenser More nice pool towels and available from day 1 Outside furniture needs an upgrade Pool furniture needs tightening up to stop collapsing and another brolly. Bedding and towels did not arrive on stated days which meant host having to wash, iron and replace at short notice and guests arrived to no bedding and no towels. This happened twice. I would recommend this property to anyone but just a little spend on a few extras would make this a 5 star review.

A very nice home in Tuscany.

Overall this is a lovely home, the grounds and exterior are well-kept and beautiful. As other reviewer‘s have noted, the inside is somewhat dated. The kitchen is small and not terribly well-equipped although we managed to cook dinner almost every night. The biggest problem Is the powder room just off the kitchen which has a floor drain issue. I was assured that this would be fixed shortly, as the season is ending and they can make repairs. Hopefully then the smell would be gone. The biggest plus however, is the location. You can take the bus from the center of town and be in to Florence in 30 minutes. Or you can drive to the park-and-ride at Villa Constanta and take the tram into Florence.

Historische Villa in Traumlage

Villa Carmignani ist ein denkmalgeschütztes historisches Anwesen, das von einem wunderschönen, gepflegten Garten umgeben wird. Die Lage ist erstklassig: Ein Katzensprung nach Florenz, direkt im Kerngebiet des Chianti. Das Haus und die Schlafzimmer sind großzügig. Die Bäder sind teilweise recht neu saniert, teilweise aber auch schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Die Sitzgelegenheiten außen sind schön. Man findet bei jeder Witterung einen geeigneten Platz. Der Pool ist sehr großzügig und gut gepflegt. Die Küchenausstatung könnte für ein Haus dieser Kategorie vollständiger sein. Manches Sofa in den Wohnzimmern hat schon bessere Zeiten gesehen. Die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen. Wir haben zwei sehr schöne, erholsame Wochen in der Villa verbracht.

Nice grounds, but run down house that is not being taken care of

I will start with the good things: Beautiful grounds, amazing view, Big pool, beautiful gardening and clean outdoor surroundings. The owners and care takers were very prompt to assist with the issues that came up and extremely helpful. The bad: The issue that bothered us most was the smell in the house-especially in the kitchen. Combination of mold, gas and sewage. I hated going through the kitchen not to mention cooking. The cabinets held dirty plates and utensils, which were taken care of once we mentioned it. Take in consideration if you like to cook (and we were dreaming of cooking in Tuscany) - the kitchen is very basic when it comes to accessories. The most basic I ever encountered in houses I rented. Between that and the odor-we tried to stay away from the kitchen as much as we could. Another thing you should plan is buying EVERYTHING before you get to the house. By everything I mean even sugar, salt and dishes detergent. There was not even one drop of dish detergent. Not a grain of sugar. Honestly, after renting tens of houses and apartments it seems to me very cheap and humiliating to welcome tenants that rent in thousands of dollars without the basic cleaning accessories. Another issue, if you plan to stay there in the summer - there is no AC in public areas (which we new in advance from the listing). The house was extremely hot and we couldn't open the doors because of the mosquitos. Bottom line - I'm giving 3 stars because I feel bad to give less. They were extremely nice people. However, as is - I would not go back, nor would I recommend it to a friend. You can get away with the heat and the dirty dishes, but the odor in the kitchen and other parts of the house, the small, basic, not updated kitchen-was making our stay extremely unpleasant . Hope this is helpful.

Wonderful stay in a beautiful Tuscan villa

We left this morning, and am already longing to go back. The villa is beautiful, clean, huge, well equipped and in a superb location. The pictures do not do it justice at all. The pool is enormous, ten of us playing ball and only filling half of it! Would thoroughly recommend getting in the Chef in Tuscany to cook whilst you are there. I think the most amazing homemade veg pasta and Tiramisu I’ve ever had. It is very close to a well stocked coop and beautiful town, if it hadn’t been so hot, we would have walked in for lunch one day, but drove instead. It is well placed to visit Florence, 20min drive to the tram, free parking and then 20min tram ride into the centre, and also all other major Tuscan towns. We picked up our older teenage children from Pisa airport, again a very easy journey taking just under an hour. I really can’t say anything bad about this place. We have stayed in several beautiful villas in Italy before, but this really did tick every box. Also the family that own it are lovely in every way. Thank you for letting us share your slice of Tuscany. Hopefully we will visit again another year, this time with our grandchildren. (Another bonus, pool is down steep steps but that is fenced from the house 😊😊) Bellissimo
