About this property

This beautifully restored 18th-century villa in Tuscany exudes the timeless elegance of a noble country retreat. Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, the estate is perfectly situated for exploring the region's cultural treasures and scenic landscapes. Antique furnishings, soaring hallways, and Palladian-inspired architecture imbue the villa with refinement, while its modernized kitchen and formal dining room promise memorable culinary experiences. During warmer months, guests can savour meals al fresco on the expansive terrace shaded by lemon trees or beneath a canopy of lush foliage, all while taking in breathtaking views of the Tuscan countryside. 



The villa’s seven bedrooms each retain their historic charm, with the ground-floor suite and en-suite bathroom thoughtfully designed for accessibility. Upstairs, the living room opens onto a balcony offering privileged views of Monteriggioni, an enchanting medieval village. 



Outside, the 1,000 sqm park features a serene private pool surrounded by olive and cypress trees, inviting relaxation at its finest. Within short reach, guests can explore Staggia Senese and Poggibonsi with their ancient castles, inviting cafés, and vibrant markets. Venture further to the art-filled streets of Siena, the renowned vineyards of Chianti, or discover the charm of medieval villages scattered across the rolling hills. Every corner offers a new Tuscan delight to uncover.

Villa Vinci is ideally situated for exploring the Chianti region and the broader Tuscan landscape. The Chianti area is renowned for its rolling hills, vineyards, and charming medieval villages. Notable towns include Greve in Chianti, Radda in Chianti, and Castellina in Chianti, each offering unique experiences and rich histories.

From the villa's terrace, guests can admire the medieval walls of Monteriggioni, a well-preserved 13th-century village that provides a unique glimpse into Tuscany's past. Nearby, the Abbey of San Michele Arcangelo in Passignano offers insight into the region's monastic traditions and architectural heritage. The villa's central location allows for convenient day trips to iconic Tuscan destinations. San Gimignano, known for its medieval towers, offers breathtaking views and a rich cultural experience. 

Volterra, with its Etruscan roots, boasts well-preserved historical sites, including the Roman Theatre and the Piazza dei Priori. For those seeking outdoor adventures, the Via Francigena, an ancient pilgrimage route, passes near the villa. Walking or cycling along this historic trail offers a unique way to explore Tuscany’s breathtaking landscapes, ancient churches, and medieval landmarks. Whether you're exploring historic towns, savouring local wines, or simply enjoying the picturesque landscapes, Villa Vinci serves as a perfect base for an unforgettable Tuscan adventure.

    I am writing to share how much we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Vinci, which is truly a spectacular place. We had the most wonderful time, and the entire experience was made even better by the exceptional on-site team. Adrian, the caretaker, was always available for anything we needed. Even though he doesn’t speak English, he managed to communicate with us effortlessly and was always so kind and helpful. The villa itself was kept impeccably clean throughout our stay, a remarkable feat given our group size. One of the absolute highlights was the cooking class with Chef Chiara. Her warmth, skill, and passion for Tuscan cuisine made the experience unforgettable. The dishes we prepared were not only delicious but also taught us so much about the local culinary traditions. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and are already looking forward to returning to Villa Vinci in the future!

    What a trip! This is a top-notch, beautiful villa located just outside Siena and Monteriggioni--you can see the walled city of Monteriggioni from the villa. The villa is air conditioned and has a nice private pool on site. For an additional fee, the proprietor will provide breakfast and dinner - options at least some members of my family took advantage of every morning and evening of a 14-day stay. The dinners have four courses and include wine and three types of locally made after-dinner drinks. The food was delicious and varied day-to-day. Tomasso, is friendly and helpful, provides great recommendations, and by making reservations for us at great restaurants nearby and in Siena. The villa has a beautiful patio for enjoying after dinner drinks (be sure to try the limoncello and other privately bottled Villa Vinci apertifs provided with dinner). The villa also has a washer/dryer unit, allowing you to pack less for your stay. Twelve of us visited and there was plenty of room. From the villa, we made many day trips including to Volterra, Monteriggioni, Siena, Pisa, Castellina in Cianti, and Florence. The Foresteria winery is a short 5 minute drive away and a great place for lunch or dinner as well. An unforgettable vacation to an amazing location.
