About this property

Villa Il Cerretino Tuscany luxury pool countryside Florence

On the Tuscan hills, near Carmignano, Villa il Cerretino enjoys an exceptional 180-degree panorama of Florence and a 20-hectare park where guests can take relaxing walks. The 6 large double bedrooms with bathroom, furnished with care and with design pieces, can accommodate up to 14 people. The various halls, which offer the possibility of organizing parties and receptions, are perfect for guests who like to carve out their own spaces for work and intimate rest. The splendid newly restored infinity pool with iacuzzi and 2 bathrooms make the holiday perfect for groups of friends and large families who can also enjoy a large kitchen with fireplace, dining rooms and convivial spaces in the gardens.
Villa di Cerretino takes its name from the small wood of Cerri (dialectal form with which in ancient times the oak was indicated) in which it is immersed near Bonistallo. The unusual central courtyard scheme with typical elements of the fortifications (such as the circular corner turrets and the walls) and the strategic position from which the road between Florence and Pistoia dominates feeds the hypothesis that the structure was built on the remains of the fort of the Torrebecchi, of the Strozzi, conquered and destroyed in 1325 by the troops of Castruccio Castracani in an attempt to conquer Carmignano.
The military architecture of the late fifteenth century is mixed with elements of rural construction and the noble villa through the various transformations undergone between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In the fifteenth century the complex belonged to the Bini family (various coats of arms remain on a tower and in the villa) and then passed to the Medici family to whom the fame of the villa is linked, which was chosen by Grand Duke Francesco I as the residence of Bianca Cappello, the Venetian noblewoman who was his lover, then second wife.
The furnishings were studied and made to design in the 70s by Poltronova. The gardens were designed by Porcinai (one of the most important landscape architects of the twentieth century), while the exteriors were followed by Guido Morozzi who at the time was in charge of the Directorate of the Superintendence of Florence (Special Section for the execution of the works on the buildings monumental). The arrangement of the works and the distribution of the spaces speak a modern language capable of stimulating emotions and providing inspirations. In the Villa you can admire works by exponents of Italian Pop Art of the 60s including Valerio Adami, Mario Ceroli and the whole school of Pistoia (Barni, Buscioni and Ruffi).

Everything was perfect
I can’t say enough about this trip of a lifetime. The villa is spectacular. The staff are amazing. They planned an excellent birthday dinner in the courtyard, a cooking class and a fabulous lunch at the villa. All of the food was excellent. The property manager could not have done anything better. She made several reservations for us and even purchased a few things for my grandson to assure that his trip was special. We felt like royalty. We will be back!!

Unforgettable time at Villa Il Cerretino
We had a family reunion here for a week before heading down to the Vatican for a ceremony. Benedetta helped us prepare the trip for a few weeks before we arrived. Loredana cleaned and maintained the villa every day. We visited Siena, Lucca, Pisa, and Florence during the week. Every time we came back to the villa it was nice and tidy. It totally felt like home, except it's much bigger than my real home. We hired a chef thru Benedetta to cook us a spectacular dinner the night before we left. She listened to our needs and made us a meal to satisfy our diet restricitions. The dishes tasted fresh, healthy, flavorful, and fantastic. It was the night before the Moon Festival in Asian culture. We saw the big, bright and round moon accompany us all night. It was sad to leave the villa the next day.

Retirement Celebration
The property was fantastic, the views were unbelievable. After a short intro to the villa by the property manager Benedetta we were off to the pool. I was surprised that the pool was a bit chilly since it was in the 90’s. (No heat in the pool). Benedetta was responsive to our every need and the cleaning staff was fantastic. They even did your laundry each day if needed. We had the chef come to the villa for one of our dinners and it was well worth the price. The only negative about the villa was Wi-Fi was a bit spotty. I look forward to a time that might bring us back to this villa Nick F

Amazing propery
Our stay at this immense villa was wonderful! We travelled with 12 adults and had plenty of room to spread out and each of the 6 rooms had there own en suite bathroom. The property manager, Benedetta was very helpful in arranging our cooking class and chef's dinner, as well as recommending a local restaurant as well as a local travel agent to arrange all our transport to Florence, Siena and winery tours. The pool area was awesome, just sorry we didn't get to spend more time there.
