Tuscany villa rental with pool in Florence Chianti countryside
The Villa has seven bedrooms, several with four-poster beds and antique dressers. It has a soothing living room with a giant Tuscan fireplace and a sink-into-the-cushions sofa and armchairs.
L'Albero's meticulous restoration saved its old terra-cotta floors, wood-beamed ceilings and door frames made of classic “pietra serena”, or, literally, serene stone, a type of sandstone found in many rustic ettings in Tuscany.
It's surrounded by a wonderful 10-acre-estate of olive groves and his private swimming pool with a full southern exposure ensures sun continuously from morning to evening.
Villa Caselline is a splendid 18th century Tuscan property for rent sits in a dominant position with a beautiful panoramic view over the lovely Chianti hills.
For a large group, this is an excellent choice with easy access to all the main points of interest in central Tuscany.
Book l'Albero directly with Mr. Lebreton by e-mail. L'Albero is three kilometres from the Tuscan town of Montespertoli. Siena is 30 kilometers to the south and Pisa is 50 kilometers to the northwest
L'Albero's owner, Yves Lebreton - a Frenchman who spent 20 years in Italy and who lives in a small restored barn behind the farm-house - will stock the kitchen in advance with wines of your choice, and Parma ham, eggs and breads. The surrounding region offers dozens of wonderful wine-tasting tours at old Tuscan vineyards, reached by narrow roads lined with 50-meter-tal cedars.
The south-facing Villa sits on an isolated four-hectare estate overlooking the magnificent Chianti countryside. The 375-square-meter farmhouse is spacious yet cozy and can sleep up to 16 people - perfect for a getaway with friends, or the family reunion.
The dining room seats 16 people for the feasts that are the most dazzling part of any visit to Italy. Beyond the garden is a 12 meter swimming pool. Guests can relax around the pool, enjoying glasses of Chianti, or lounge on two panoramic terraces built off the main house of l'Albero. Dinner can be served by the pool or on the terraces. Guests at l'Albero have two equally tempting gastronomic choices: cooking their own food in the modern, fully equipped kitchen; or hiring l'Albero's cook to prepare dinners for the entire troop.
The Villa is completely independent in order to guaranty total privacy to guest and can accommodate up to 16 people in 7 bedrooms with 4 bathrooms.
Almost every meal is served with olive oils straight from l'Albero's own groves. And much of the food and drink is produced by other Italian farms.
It is open all the year for weekly rent. It lies roughly equidistant between Florence, Siena, Pisa and the sea side which makes it a perfect rental base for exploring the Chianti region.
Perfect for a getaway vacation with friends or the family.
At l'Albero, a grand 200-year-old stone house on a working farm, visitors can enjoy the land and be pampered at the same time. Just 25 kilometers south of Florence, l'Albero is one of the most upscale examples of farm vacation, where travellers can experience traditional olive groves still at work today.
The renaissance beauty of Florence is just a 30-minute drive, and day trips to other towns such as Siena and Lucca are an easy jaunt.
The 3750-square-foot Villa offers a very spacious ambient. It is fully restored in harmony with traditional style of Tuscany and boasts all modern comforts with luxury accommodations.
The best time of the year to enjoy Tuscany and l'Albero is summer, so you'll want to book far in advance. That's when the weather is warm and the pool will beckon. High season runs from June through September, but the Villa can be rented year-round.
The ground floor has big double doors with access to the gardens that can be opened to fell the breeze.
