A Tuscan Family Home Close to Florence
Villa il Pero is a historic stone farmhouse in the hills less than 15 minutes from Florence. It’s a real family home, carefully restored, rather than a villa built to look old. For anyone searching for a villa to rent in Firenze with space and privacy, it offers the quiet of the countryside with the city close at hand.
The whole property is rented to one party at a time. The house, the pool and the grounds are yours for the length of your stay.
Stone Walls, Beams and an Original Hearth
The farmhouse keeps its authentic Tuscan architecture: thick stone walls, exposed wooden beams and terracotta roofs. Each bedroom and bathroom has its own character, furnished in keeping with the age of the house. Air conditioning runs throughout, so the house stays comfortable in the summer months.
At the center of the house is the kitchen, with its original open hearth. It’s a working kitchen built for cooking together, and a natural gathering point for large groups.
Space for Large Groups
With 400 square meters of living space, the villa sleeps 12 guests in 6 bedrooms, with 6 bathrooms. A separate ground-floor staff suite sleeps 2 more, which suits families travelling with a nanny or a private chef.
The size and layout make Villa il Pero a practical villa to rent in Firenze for multi-generational families, wedding parties, milestone celebrations and corporate or creative retreats.
Pool, Olive Groves and Panoramic Views
The private pool sits in the garden with a sun deck and a pergola looking out over the hills. The property is surrounded by ancient olive groves and fruit trees, with shaded corners set up for dining outdoors. From the grounds, the views stretch across the hills in every direction.
A Resident Housekeeper
The villa’s housekeeper lives on the estate in a separate cottage, set apart from the main house. Guests are welcomed on arrival and have someone on hand if the house needs anything during the stay. The main house is never shared, so privacy is kept intact.
Florence on Your Doorstep
Florence is less than 15 minutes’ drive away, close enough for a morning at the Uffizi or dinner in the city. You come back each evening to the quiet of the hills. Stays are weekly, which leaves time to explore Florence, Chianti and the surrounding countryside at an easy pace.
