Villa Il Cerretino Tuscany luxury pool countryside Florence

The entire experience was quintessential Tuscan. From the moment of arrival there was a subdued sense of calm that permeated the villa. The rooms were charming and modern. It was rewarding to have the juxtaposition of Italian pop art on the walls over seeing our visit like two voices talking to one another—the far past of the 1500 manor conversing with its modern purpose, like Italy itself. The time at the pool was peaceful. The property itself is dedicated to the surroundings: views, history, and their presence. One will appreciate the smile and genuineness of the on-site staff: accommodating yet restrained in their approach in order to help the entire experience feel authentic. Overall, the property and people connected to it are worth returning to over and over again, like familiar friends—with familiar friends.

We recently stayed at the Villa for 5 days and had a wonderful relaxing experience. First impressions of the Villa were how clean, spacious and well maintained the property was. From the large and many, well decorated living spaces, to the comfortable bedrooms each with their own bathrooms, to the fully equipped kitchen and one of the best pool areas you will find. The Villa is even more beautiful and bigger in real life and was the perfect spot to relax with family and friends. (4 adults and 4 children) The Villa Manager Benedetta is amazing to deal with. Always prompt and easy to liaise with.

Eine sehr schöne Villa mit sehr viel Platz

Our stay at Poggio a Caiano, Villa II Cerretino Tuscany, was extraordinary. From booking to checkout, Benedetta, the Property Manager, provided exceptional communication and support. Her knowledge of the villa’s history, local attractions, and help with reservations made everything seamless. She even organized a perfect post-wedding celebration for 30 guests with catering, musicians, and beautiful decor. The villa is a stunning mix of 14th-century tradition and modern luxury. The expansive pool and spa area, with ample seating, evening lighting, and convenient poolside facilities, was a highlight. We loved exploring the 20-hectare park, filled with olive and citrus trees, offering panoramic views of Florence. The private courtyard, chapel, and spacious seating areas were ideal for family gatherings. Inside, the villa exceeded expectations. It’s larger than photos suggest, with beautifully furnished rooms filled with art and décor. The daily housekeeping by Loredana, was impeccable, and the kitchen was fully equipped for meal prep. Mornings on the outdoor patio, surrounded by nature, were serene, with sightings of deer, foxes, and birds. The six large bedrooms, each with its own ensuite and air conditioning, offered comfort and privacy. The gated entrance, long driveway, and meticulously maintained gardens added to the sense of exclusivity. Villa II Cerretino is a hidden gem in Tuscany, blending luxury with peace. We highly recommend it! Thank you, Benedetta ❤

Our family just returned from our stay at the Villa Il Cerrentino. To say we enjoyed the property would be an understatement! The pictures listed on the site are beautiful but we all agreed that the property is even better in person. We had 9 adults, one teen and a three year old in our party. The villa and grounds were expansive and beautifully maintained. The pool was a highlight! We enjoyed lounging and swimming almost daily. We cooked most meals at the villa and found the kitchen stocked with everything we needed for our meals. The weather was beautiful and permitted us to dine al fresco on the patio adjacent to the kitchen. The rooms were overly spacious, the beds very comfortable and each room had its own bathroom. Benedetta was a wonderful host and so responsive! She made our stay easy and provided us with prompt answers to any questions we had. Some of us made a day trip into Florence with a private driver. This was a highlight of the trip as many of us had never been into the city. We also took a day trip to a local vineyard, Pieve dei Medici. I highly recommend this as well. Very close to the villa and a wonderful addition to our vacation. Thank you Benedetta for your hospitality and we hope to be back!
