In a beautiful setting not far from Florence, this characterful villa is surrounded by woodland of chestnut and oak trees with nature walks through the Tuscan landscapes on its doorstep. What’s more, within a 10-minute drive you could be shopping for high-end brands such as D&G, Armani and Burberry at The Mall Firenze luxury outlet.
Driving past cypress trees you approach Villa Vasari and enter its private courtyard before walking up the stairs to a pretty porch, a fine spot for relaxing with a glass of Chianti wine. Step into the home and soak up its rich history as you admire the wood-beamed ceiling, ornate detailing and the grand fireplace in the living room, then wander through to the inviting TV lounge and dining area. The kitchen is charming and ideally equipped for preparing Tuscan meals at home.
This part of the house sleeps 10 guests across five air-conditioned bedrooms. On the main floor there are two bedrooms that share a shower room, whilst upstairs there is an en suite double as well as a twin and double that share a good-sized bathroom. Décor is typically Tuscan in style with traditional furnishings alongside a sense of warmth and charm.
For larger groups, four guests can sleep in an annexe apartment near the swimming pool with two bedrooms and a simple living-dining area with kitchen. This annexe is only included in the 14-person rate.
Back in the courtyard, there is a separate living and dining space with a kitchen featuring a wood-fired pizza oven, another rustic spot for feasts with family and friends. Alternatively, head up to the pool area for al-fresco dining by the grill.
The swimming pool is gorgeous and a great size for swimming lengths or just relaxing by the jets. Poolside sun loungers allow you to soak up the Tuscan sun and the gazebo is a lovely spot for chatting as children splash around in the water.
Head off for long walks through the estate or explore by mountain bike to appreciate the incredible surroundings. If you yearn to discover more, start off in Florence with its wonderful galleries and museums, just 36km by car (or take the train from a nearby village).
A little further afield, visit the vineyards and villages of the Chianti region with Greve and Radda just over half an hour away or venture to the incredible cities of Siena and Arezzo, passing iconic scenery as you drive through the undulating landscapes of Tuscany.
What you should know…
- The 14-person rate includes both the main house and poolside annexe whilst the lower 10-person rate includes the main house only (5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms) in which case the annexe will be closed off.
- The main house features air-conditioning in all bedrooms and the living area. The poolside annexe only features an air-conditioning unit between the two bedrooms. There may be charges for air-conditioning use - see the 'Energy cost' T&C for details.
- Casa Marlena is located very close by, just along the road, ideal if you wish to holiday at the same time as extended family or friends. Villino Lepre and I Tebaldi are also within the vast estate, slightly higher up (a short drive away).
- The road just outside the villa is a lightly travelled public road, shared with only a few neighbouring homes.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa VasariSurrounded by forests of oak and chestnut trees, Villa Vasari is located within a vast estate in Tuscany only half an hour from Florence and close to The Mall, a famous shopping centre with designer brands.
Just along the road from nearby Casa Marlena, enjoy long walks on your doorstep passing woodland, hills, fields, streams and roaming wild animals (the estate is a licensed hunting area). Despite this rural setting, a small supermarket is less than a 10-minute drive away alongside a handful of local restaurants and several shopping outlets (D&G, Burberry, Gucci and other luxury brands within a 4km drive).
Meanwhile, Rignano sull’Arno (8km) sits by the banks of the Arno and is home to restaurants and other useful amenities including a train station with half hourly departures to Florence (30 minutes by train).
Florence (36km) is of course a superb day out with its splendid architecture, museums, galleries, churches, magnificent squares and restaurants - try aperitivi amongst the locals for an authentic way to dine.
In the other direction, venture towards Arezzo (55km) and its beautiful historic square and explore the charming villages and scenery of the Casentino valley including Poppi (47km) and its incredible castle.
Spend time visiting the villages and vineyards of the Chianti region such as Greve (30km), Radda (37km) and Castellina in Chianti (49km) or head further south-west to try Vernaccia in enchanting San Gimignano (80km). Meanwhile, Siena with its magnificent squares and historic sites is just over an hour away by car.
Closer to home, play golf in spectacular surroundings at Circolo Golf dell'Ugolino (34km), ride horses through the Tuscan landscapes and look out for a wealth of cycling, mountain biking and hiking opportunities across the region.

Drive to the nearest train station and hop on a service to Florence (or it’s just over half an hour by car). Fall in love with city’s art galleries, museums and beautiful architecture, ride on the carousel at Piazza della Repubblica and enjoy fine gelato in charming gelaterias.
Just over half an hour away, discover tree-top adventures at Vincigliata Adventure Park and Parco Avventura Il Gigante, both north of Florence, or head to Pinocchio Park, en route to Lucca, for old-fashioned fun at this characterful amusement park.
There is a popular zoo in Pistoia (76km) or drive through the rolling landscapes to Poppi Zoo (49km), perhaps combined with a trip to the pretty village of Poppi and its medieval castle, Castello dei Conti Guidi.
