Archipettoli has been restored to a comfortable and well-appointed country house. The pool is located in the middle of 14 acres of land, between olive trees Vineyards and a spacious garden landscape. Several outdoor terraces will invite you to have a meal al fresco and enjoy the sunsets.

Perfect Tuscany countryside experience
Staying at Archipettoli was a perfect Tuscany "dream come true" experience. The hospitality of owners Valerio and Gianpaolo was amazing, they live in separate house on the estate and were always helpful when we needed some assistance - like when we locked ourselves out of the house for couple of times during one evening:)
Villa itself is decorated in authentic Tuscan country style, with enough space and privacy for several families, with separate beds for up to 12 persons. We enjoyed long dinners in large kitchen downstairs, while the kids could play and watch movies in the tower living rooms.
Volterrani family are producing their own amazing wine from Sangiovese grapes grown in surrounding Archipettoli vineyards, and olive oil from their own olive trees. They were kind enough to arrange a shipment of couple of grates of 2011 vintage to us back home to Estonia!
Despite late October, it was nice to dive into the refreshing pool after jogging along nearby sloping cypress-lined roads with extraordinary views to typical Chianti countryside.
The villa is conveniently located near the main Florence-Sienna highway, with 30-minute drive to Florence.

Amazing Villa!!
We were 3 families traveling together and did a lot of research to find the right villa and location - but' its hard to tell from pictures what you're getting. I must say Archipettoli could not have been a better choice. It's at the end of a road on top of a hill with 360 degree stunning views, surrounded by vineyards and quaint villages. A beautiful yard, with many outdoor eating/sitting spots, and a lovely lawn that does down to a large pool which our kids would not leave. The house itself is exactly what we wanted, classic old, stone Tuscany villa, spacious (there are lots of rooms, including a cool "tower" that the kids loved) and comfortable. There was plenty room for all of us. We loved the decor, simple and comfortable, amazing views from every window, and a well stocked kitchen with a large farmhouse table that we all fit around for breakfast. Giampaolo and his brothers were great hosts, helping us navigate the area and answering any questions. Location is perfect - close to Florence and Siena, and lots of wineries. What a great memory - we highly recommend this spectacular villa!
Wonderful Estate
The property is beautiful. My kids enjoyed the grounds and the pool, and we spent many lazy days with a glass of wine in hand. An easy trip to Florence, or there are many restaurant options nearby. We highly recommend this home.
The Villa of our Dreams!
Booking online, you never know exactly what to expect...this villa far exceeded our expectations. The pictures on the vrbo website do show the beauty of the area, however, experiencing it in person is altogether different - and better! The first evening, enjoying wine at the outdoor area and watching the sunset, we felt like we must be dreaming. So beautiful!!!
There were three couples traveling together - we rented a van in Florence, and made the easy drive to the villa. Giampaolo and Walter (two of the owners) met us at the villa, and made us feel right at home. The villa is laid out perfectly for three couples - 3 separate sleeping areas, with a bath in each. Amazing views from every window.
We had one week at the villa, and decided to take a day trip every other day - so we could enjoy just 'being' a few days. Very easy day trip to Florence (we took a bus from Bargino, so we didn't have to deal with the city traffic), fairly easy day trip to Siena and San Gimignano, and a not-so-easy day trip to Cinque Terre (it was a very long day). Our best memories of the trip are THE VILLA!!!
Three of us in the group are runners, and we enjoyed running the hills of Tuscany - and discovering a few things that we would not have otherwise. There is a winery just a couple of miles from the villa that we highly recommend, Il Bacio. LOVED our experience there!
European travel can be taxing...long flights, delays at the airports, waiting, waiting, and more waiting...the villa made it all worth it!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
The Best Tuscan Experience
We stayed here in October 2010. We were a party of ten. Five adults and five children. The children were from ages 2-7. We stayed here for nine days and had already been in Italy for two weeks; this was by far our favorite location.
Two of the owners, Giampallo and Walter were an absolute pleasure to meet and be around. They gave us great insight to the area as well as some local wineries that were a must see.
We had the pleasure of tasting and buying their own private label wine....WOW. It was fabulous....I hope that they will be able to export this to the US so I may continue to enjoy it for years to come.
The house and the grounds were very well kept. Our children had a wonderful time and enjoyed being out in the country side. I can't say enough about this place. I will be sure to stay here whenever we visit Italy. We felt at home and it was a difficult place to leave.
Quintessential Tuscany: amazing property!
We stayed at Villa Archipettoli in July 2010. We were with 5 adults (parents + 3 teenagers) and this lovely country mansion was a true highlight of our vacation in Tuscany. Everything is perfect about this place: location, size of the property, (you could stay with many more people or multiple families), beautiful grounds, nice pool, lovely olive tree orchard, etc. The house itself is in perfect condition, renovated by keeping its traditional style, well equipped kitchen, etc. Around the house, it has a variety of places where you can sit and enjoy a certain part of the day: breakfast in the shadow in front of the house, cocktails around the pool in comfortable lounge chairs, and romantic Al Fresco dinning under the covered dining area. The owners were extremely friendly and hospitable. You don’t see them around but they are there when you would need them. Villa Archipettoli is located in the center of Tuscany and allows day trips to all highlights of the Tuscan area. I can heartily recommend this lovely house! Tip: ask the owners for a bottle of the olive oil from their own orchard...

It is beautifully situated offering a stunning panoramic view, a large garden, and a private pool (6x12 m) Surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, this place is deal for relaxing.
Archipettoli has been carefully restored and is a comfortable country house. The old wood-beamed ceiling, the terracotta floors, and the kitchen with a large Tuscan fireplace create a very cosy atmosphere in the house.
