A restored Tuscan farmhouse in the hills near Florence, framed by private olive groves and breathtaking countryside views, with a heated pool, hot tub and dedicated wellness spaces, well placed for exploring Chianti.
The Setting
Positioned on a tranquil hillside on the outskirts of Florence, Villa Romola offers an idyllic sense of seclusion without a hint of isolation. Surrounded by nearly 4 acres of private gardens and silver-leafed olive groves, the estate enjoys panoramic views across the Chianti countryside. Yet, the cultural treasures of downtown Florence are a mere fifteen-minute drive away, making spontaneous day trips effortless. The surrounding countryside also invites guests to discover cycling tours, wine tastings, local food experiences, and authentic activities that reveal the true character of Florence and the Tuscan landscape. Essential conveniences, local trattorias, and regional transport links are highly accessible, with the scenic Chianti towns and historic highways to Siena and San Gimignano within easy driving distance. It is a setting that perfectly bridges rural peace with the vibrant Florentine lifestyle.
The Living Spaces
Originally a Tuscan farmhouse, Villa Romola has been restored as a spacious country residence for up to 16 guests. Its eight bedrooms are arranged over two floors, with six King bedrooms and two Twin bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom and dedicated closet space.
The interiors combine pale stone floors, softly textured walls, and whitewashed timber beams with a restrained mix of contemporary furniture and modern art. On the ground floor, two sitting rooms provide separate areas for gatherings or quiet moments, each with a fireplace and a television. The indoor dining room overlooks the courtyard, while the marble kitchen features a central cooking island and an adjoining cocktail bar, allowing meals and informal entertaining to unfold within a single generous shared space.
The bedrooms continue the same understated approach, with natural tones, simple timber detailing and individual touches, including a canopy bed and a freestanding bath. A fully equipped gym, Turkish bath and treatment room complete the villa’s private wellness spaces.
The Experience
Staying at Villa Romola is an invitation to experience the authentic rhythm of Tuscan life. Mornings begin with a stroll through the estate’s vegetable garden or a refreshing swim in the heated pool, followed by quiet time in the private Turkish bath. Designed for slow-paced living, the villa provides a peaceful base where bespoke wine tastings, cycling tours and private cooking classes can be arranged, allowing guests to tailor the stay to their own pace. For larger groups of up to 32 guests, it can also be rented with the nearby Villa San Casciano, just a short walk away. An ideal setup for weddings, small family gatherings and private retreats, offering an exclusive Florentine stay.
