About this property

You’ll be warmly welcomed at this commanding hillside villa in Tuscany, a one-of-a-kind retreat far above city life. You're greeted with a basket full of breakfast food and regional specialties to start your villa holiday on the right foot. The owners are invested in your comfort - a daily cleaning service is included, and they’re happy to arrange tours of Florence, cooking or art lessons, and more (just ask!).

The view from the terrace will take your breath away - here you're above it all. The private swimming pool overlooks Val d'Arno, and is built into the side of the hill (a jump from the little diving board will feel extra-daring!) After your swim you'll certainly want to hit the sauna in the spa.

Inside your holiday villa, the decor is charming and unique - high ceilings, and light colours contrast with the sober wooden beams overhead and the occasional antique armoire. Even the formal dining room and chef’s kitchen feel light and airy. There is both a main house and a 2 bedroom annexe, for those who require more privacy. All this may feel a million miles away, but it's not - Florence is only 14 km away.

Please note that Villa Leopolda is actually located in the region of Tuscany but is very close to the Chianti border. 

***For larger parties it is possible to rent sister properties Casa Spino (sleeps up to 12 guests) and Villa Forte (sleeps up to 16 guests) located in the same estate - please follow links for more information.

Villa Leopolda is located near San Donato in Collina, only 14 km southeast of Florence. It is an ideal distance for day trips to the cities of Siena, San Gimignano, Arezzo, Lucca, Pisa, Assisi and Urbino.

The villa meets modern ecological requirements and uses renewable energy. All the electric energy is generated by solar power. The air conditioning, heating and cooling systems are generated by means of geothermal energy.

The nearest village (with food, post office, and a bar) is 3 km from the villa, and the nearest chemist is around 2 km away.

Please note that Villa Leopolda is actually located in the region of Tuscany but is very close to the Chianti border.
