Villa Bachicche is a former Tuscan farmhouse, fully restored and located in the Chianti hills 9 kilometers from central Florence. The property sits on 3.72 acres of private gardens, olive groves, and vegetable plots, with the working rhythm of the countryside still visible in the land around it. Inside, the conversion respects the structure’s agricultural origins while providing the comforts expected of a property at this level.
This is a Tuscany Florence villa built for groups who want both luxury and scale. The estate sleeps up to 16 guests across eight bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. One ground-floor bedroom includes accessible features for guests with reduced mobility, a detail many comparable properties overlook.
Rooms Built for Gathering, Not Just Sleeping
The ground floor holds the estate’s communal heart: an entrance hall, two living rooms each with a fireplace and flat-screen television, and a dining room that overlooks the courtyard. The kitchen is finished in marble and includes a cooking-class island and a cocktail bar, making it equally suited to a private chef’s service or a hands-on group cooking session. Three bedrooms are located on the ground floor, including the accessible king room and a twin room, plus a separate guest bathroom.
The first floor has five further bedrooms: four with king beds and one with oversized twin beds, each with an en-suite bathroom and a walk-in closet. Across both floors, the layout favors privacy. Bedrooms are distributed rather than clustered, which suits multigenerational families or groups that value separate space at the end of the day.
Outdoor Life on 3.72 Acres
Outside, two separate dining and living areas extend the estate’s living space into the garden. A heated pool and hot tub anchor the outdoor program, supported by two gazebos for shade, a barbecue, and a wood-fired pizza oven. The vegetable garden supplies fresh produce during the growing season, and the wider grounds include private parking for multiple vehicles. However, a car remains essential, as the estate sits along a private road outside Florence proper.
Wellness facilities include a fully equipped gym and a private Turkish bath in a dedicated wing, alongside a treatment room for massage or other bodywork.
Service That Matches the Setting
Daily service is included: an English-speaking housekeeper and gardener attend the property four hours a day, six days a week, managing cleaning, bed-making, and garden and pool maintenance. Weekly linen changes, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and a stocked bathroom amenity kit are standard. The estate also provides its own olive oil, seasonal produce, and honey to guests during their stay.
Chianti, with Florence Within Reach
Villa Bachicche is a genuine countryside immersion paired with a short drive into one of Italy’s most visited cities. Florence’s historic center is roughly 15 minutes away by car. Siena and San Gimignano are each around 45 minutes, and Pisa is just under an hour. The A1 motorway and the four-lane road to Siena sit five kilometers from the estate, and Florence Airport is 18 kilometers away.
For travelers comparing options for a Tuscany Florence villa, the calculation usually comes down to trade-offs between rural quiet and city access. Villa Bachicche removes that trade-off. Guests spend their mornings among olive groves and their evenings, if they choose, in the center of Florence.
