Accommodating up to 37 guests in 20 luxurious bedrooms, Dimora Torricella is a truly breath-taking villa mansion in the heart of Tuscany, just a short drive from the enchanting city of Florence.
Five magnificent buildings are dispersed across the historical family estate of a highly acclaimed Renaissance Italian artist. The estate is made up of the main villa, the farmhouse, the gallery, the olive press and the studio. Each building has been restored tastefully and lovingly to retain an authentic Florentine charm while adding a fresh sense of class and elegance, demonstrated by the exquisite antique furnishings in every room.
Across the estate, there are seven living rooms, five kitchens, two cellars, a shared chapel and a spa. The kitchens are incredibly modern, with all the latest facilities to fulfil any culinary desires. Daily continental breakfast is provided on a complimentary basis, but a skillful local chef and full catering can be provided if desired, too.
Around each building, there are verandas, courtyards and even a great outdoor pool where you can gather to enjoy a relaxing afternoon meal or an evening glass of wine and from which you can appreciate the magnificent views of the hills, fields and wondrous sunsets.
Many of the luxurious bedrooms on the estate feature king-sized beds, a walk-in wardrobe and stylish marble bathroom with either an incredibly soothing rain shower or a spacious bath. The main villa, in which a noble Italian family once lived, has six double en-suite bedrooms, one of which is the panoramic master bedroom, which takes up the whole of the top floor!
There are 30 hectares of manicured lawns and perfectly maintained gardens including a lake, vineyards, woodland and olive groves, for you to explore and enjoy to your heart’s content. There are also two swimming pools, a spa and a fitness centre with a well-equipped gym, sauna, hydro-pool, Turkish bath, massage area and a specialist shower equipped for hydrotherapy, chromotherapy and aromatherapy, allowing you to feel truly relaxed and invigorated.
With plenty of private parking space, this is the perfect base from which to explore Tuscany. Florence is only 2km away and nearby there are more activities than you will ever find time for!
What you should know…
- There is no pool heating in the smaller swimming pool – please bear this in mind when booking in the cooler months.
- While we are very pleased to offer full catering on demand, this of course carries an extra charge.
- Please note other guests may be staying in a separate private quarter of the estate which has no access to the villas, restaurant, SPA, swimming pool or outdoor spaces, therefore, will not interfere with your stay.

Location
About the surrounding area of Dimora TorricellaThis infamous 14th century estate is nestled in the sensational rolling hills of Florence, among farms, forests, vineyards and ancient hamlets. The calm, tranquil surroundings make it hard to believe that the beautiful Florence city centre, once the heart of the Italian Renaissance movement, is just 2km away!
Indeed, while you will feel totally at one with the natural world, enveloped in luscious forests and hills – museums, galleries, palaces and churches which hold some of the greatest artistic treasures on earth, as well as fine wine and dining experiences and designer shopping (a dream for any fashionista!), are almost within walking distance, or just a short drive away!
While the villa is perfectly located to visit Florence, Siena, another fine art city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is just a little further afield, making it ideal for a day trip! Nearby activities include hot air ballooning, helicopter charters, scooter tours, golf, hiking, biking, paintball, horse-riding and so much more. The location is also great for a wine tasting, as a world-famous wine and olive oil producing region, celebrated by Verdi, Michelangelo (who once stayed at the property!) and many others.
If you fancy a break from touring these impressive Italian cities then there are plenty of options to explore in the nearby towns and countryside. The closest town is Tavarnuzze, and here you can find several restaurants and supermarkets. Only 8km away is the charming town of Impruneta, famous for its cotto tiles, in fact the cotto tiles of the famous Duomo in Florence were made here!
For more outdoor pursuits, head to the Pratomagno mountain range or the 300-acre Natural Park near Reggello, both perfect for enjoying a little physical activity and the fresh air and tranquillity of nature.

Region
Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, the Chianti and Arezzo region is a captivating destination that effortlessly combines the rustic charm of the Italian countryside with rich historical heritage. This enchanting area is renowned for its rolling vineyards, picturesque landscapes, and quaint villages, making it a haven for travellers seeking an authentic taste of Italy.
Tuscany
With its rolling fields, historical heritage and a cuisine that’s a delight for all the senses, it’s no wonder Tuscany is one of the most popular regions in Italy for holidaymakers. Yet even with its popularity, you can still kick back in one of our luxury villas in Tuscany and feel peace, tranquillity and the joy of seclusion.
This is one destination that really does have a little bit of everything for everyone, whether you’re travelling with family, friends or are just looking for a romantic getaway with that special someone.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThis is a truly fabulous home for a family getaway, with two private swimming pools the kids are sure to have fun splashing around and burning off a little energy! Meanwhile, the vast grounds offer acres of fun for the children to explore and enjoy safely, while the location puts you a stone’s throw from all kinds of family fun.
Florence is just 4km away and is the perfect city for expanding children’s horizons and palates. Start your day with a wholesome stroll through the city’s narrow, cobbled streets and mysterious pathways and admire centuries-old buildings such as the Il Duomo and Basilica of Santa Croce. If their legs get tired, hop on a guided Segway tour to make sightseeing more interesting.
In case of bad weather, you can also visit one of the many museums. In the interactive Leonardo Da Vinci Museum, children and curious adults alike can learn fascinating facts about the Italian genius and see an array of military projects found in Leonardo’s Codex. Nature-lovers should head to the Museum of Natural History to look at ancient fossils and remains.
Only 24km away is the Parco Avventura Il Gigante, one of the best equipped adventure parks in Italy, featuring Tibetan bridges, zip lines, and suspended nets. There are also regular walking trails and a bar with a large picnic area to fully enjoy a day out in the fresh air.

Beautiful, chic place
Beautiful, chic place and cared for in the smallest details. Swimming pool with top panorama, romantic restaurant, one of the most beautiful areas of Florence but immersed in the nature of Impruneta.
-
Spectacular
Dimora Torricella is spectacular and cared for down to the smallest detail. Refined cuisine and obviously with products at 0 steps. The Rosé wine produced by them is really excellent but also the olive oil is spectacular! Beautiful experience!

Luxury comfort of all kinds. Beautiful location. Friendly and helpful staff.

Super home
Superb historic home on the hills around Florence. Immersed in the green of the olive trees a stone's throw from the city centre. The renovation has taken care of every little detail to offer a luxury holiday, pampered by a professional staff.
