Villa Le Colline

Set within a three-acre private estate on the hills above Florence, Villa Le Colline is a magnificent sixteenth-century luxury villa rental in Tuscany with a history that reaches back to the families of Amerigo Vespucci and the Medici. Its elevated position in Impruneta — just six miles from the city centre, yet entirely immersed in rolling countryside — makes it one of the most perfectly situated Florence villa rentals you will find: the Duomo visible on the horizon, the Chianti hills stretching out in the other direction, olive groves and cypresses filling everything in between.
Inside, the villa has been carefully preserved with its original character intact. Antique furnishings handcrafted by Florentine artisans, large windows framing the valley views, and a grand fireplace for cooler evenings give the interiors a warmth and authenticity that no amount of renovation could manufacture. Seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms accommodate up to 14 guests in the main villa, with a further two guests in the separate guest house — each room air-conditioned and finished with the same quiet attention to detail that runs throughout the property.
Outside, the manicured grounds are a pleasure in every season. A private swimming pool, a pergola for alfresco dining, a pizza oven, and walking paths through the rose gardens and olive groves — from which the estate produces its own olive oil each year — ensure that there is always somewhere beautiful to be, whatever the hour or the weather.
Florence is just 15 minutes by car, with Greve in Chianti and its celebrated wine estates a similar distance in the other direction. Available year-round, Villa Le Colline is a Florence villa rental of genuine historic distinction — a home that has been treasured for centuries, and makes it easy to understand why.
