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.

It is ideally located to explore the cultural attractions of Tuscany.

A stunning place

An absolutely stunning place at the end of a road with 360 views over vineyards and olive trees and a beautiful garden. The house is genuine and comfortable with large bedrooms and several bathrooms. The kitchen is smaller but very well equipped! There are many different places to sit outside depending on the weather and the pool area is clean with many sunbeds. To summarize…the place for a genuine Tuscany stay!

Wonderful Tuscan Views!

This property was absolutely charming! I was impressed with the restoration of the property and the amount rooms available for our family. The outside sitting areas and pool are beautiful and the sunset and sunrise are breathtaking. We enjoyed the wine and olive oil produced on the property and the hospitality from Giampaolo. The kitchen is small to prep family meals but there are several local restaurants to have dinner. We want to go back!

Tuscany at its best

Archipettoli is a place full of wonderful rustic charm. It is very clean and comfortable and the pool is a really good size for a group of people. Giampaolo the Villa Manager is extremely helpful and nothing is to much trouble. The views of the surrounding countryside are breathtaking especially at sunrise and sunset. The property is well located for visiting places such as Florence, Siena and San Gimignano and the local town of San Casciano has some good cafes, restaurants and shops. We can't wait to return!

Great Location and Villa and Owner

Being our first trip to Tuscany, we had many choices and areas to stay and we nailed it. Being within 30 minutes of Florence and Greve and the main highway only 5 minutes away on these little roads that barely fit two cars is a huge plus. The villa is private and you have your own pool, unlike the neighbors. Many owners split villas in two so be careful. The owner really tries to make it a great experience. He does stay on the property, in his own home, but made himself invisible EXCEPT when we needed him. The villa sits at the very end of the road so you have no neighbors and your views are vines, churches and Tuscany sun on multiple patio areas. It has no A/C but the owner had tower fans in each room and nights cool down the villa with thick walls. The downstairs common area is minimal, the kitchen, but who is staying inside when in Tuscany? Great place. Great location and an owner who cares.

Lovely house in amazing location

We had a wonderful time at Archipettoli. It is a truly unbeatable location set at the end of a track with amazing views all around. Every bit of the garden is beautiful and well thought out with plenty of places to sit and enjoy the Tuscan countryside. The pool is sparklingly clean and surrounded by lovely planting and plenty of loungers. Several spots are ideal for eating al fresco and comfortable chairs for reading in. The house itself has elegant bedrooms with nice furniture and clean generous bathrooms. The only bit of the house that was a little underwhelming was the kitchen which, due to the layout of cooker/dishwasher etc was a bit tight for more than one person to cook in, and the sitting room, which wasn’t very inviting to spend an evening in when it was too cold to sit outside. These would absolutely not stop me from visiting again! Everything else wonderful and I very much hope to go again soon.

Archipetolli...A True Destination Place

We were a group of six (3 couples). We had been looking forward to our stay at Archipettoli for months. Because this was our first visit to Florence and the surrounding areas of Tuscany, we felt a need to be on the go, trying to see and absorb as much as possible. However, we were able to spend time both inside and about the grounds of this spectacular residence each day, doing as little as possible...gazing out at the endless views, swimming in the pool, drinking the local wine (Archipettoli Blanco Toscano), reading in the Tower room and wandering among the grape vineyard and olive orchard. It was a spectacular location from which we visited several local villages as well as Florence, Luca, Pisa, Siena and Saturnia. Valerio was easy to work with as we prepared to make our trip and Giampaolo took great care of us on site. Archipettoli is not just a place to stay. It is a true destination place, full of charm, beauty and history. We hope to one day make a return visit.

360 Degrees of Heaven

What a wonderful privilege to stay in a house with such history and beauty inside and out! Beautifully restored, comfortable and charming. We were very happy to spend several evenings there, including one where our hosts arranged for a cook to come in, at our request (wonderful food!). The sunsets were stunning, and we got a beautiful vista and breezes. We did take advantage of the great location though, with day trips to Florence, Siena, Volterra and Panzano.Giampaulo and his wife were easy to communicate with, lovely people, and live nearby. We highly recommend a stay here.

Traumhaus umgeben von Reben und Olivenbäumen

Mitten in der Toscana unweit von Siena und Florenz befindet sich die wunderschöne Villa Archipettoli. An traumhafter Lage am Ende eines Zugangweges konnten wir unsere Familienferien ungestört geniessen. Das Haus bietet alles was es für einen unvergesslichen Aufenthalt braucht. Nach den Ausflügen in die Dörfer und Städte der Umgebung war der grosse Pool, gute gepflegte Pool perfekt um sich bei 38 Grad Aussentemperatur abzukühlen. Auf dem Gelände befinden sich zudem diverse Sitzgelegenheiten, die zu jeder Tageszeit willkommenen Schaten bieten.

Outstanding

We have stayed at many Homeaway/Air B&B places, this was the most idyllic in views and location. Breathtaking double vistas from the property. The pool is large and my children spent hours playing. There are some good outdoor eating areas- photos don't do it justice. Florence is very close and we drove in very easily a few times. Siena and Pisa are straight forward rewardng day trips. There is no Air Con, which was a bit frustrating, but they do have fans which surficed. The kichen is the most rustic room in the property but it had everything we needed with decent quantities of crockery. Eating out is such a pleasure in Tuscanny and the owner emails with recommended restaurants was great. We would go again in a heart beat.

Tuscan paradise

We were a group of 8-10 friends and family at this delightful villa, nestled in the Tuscan hills. Close to the highways for day trips to Luca, Sienna, Firenze, Montalcino, Greve in Chianti, and many more towns. Surrounded by olive trees, and vineyards, a quiet idyllic location. Delicious olive oil made from olives on the property, and several types of wine, both whites and reds, also made from the grapes on the property. We lacked for nothing and the villa was well appointed. Giampaolo, the on-site manager, was friendly, available and a font of local knowledge. Two weeks flew by and we had a swell time, sad to leave!

Delightful secluded property

We thoroughly enjoyed our week staying at Archipelotti, it was the ideal base for exploring Tuscany. The property is surrounded by picturesque vineyards, olive trees and rolling hills. The pool and gardens were great for the five children in our party and the house was comfortable and well equipped. We will definitely come again.

Fantastic stay at Archipettoli

Thank you for this perfect house in the middle of Tuscany. We enjoyed the house location, close to Pisa (1h), Florence (50mn) and Siena (40mn). Being at the end of a cul de sac in the middle of the vineyard and olive trees was nice and quiet. The house was perfect for our group of 10 persons, with additional rooms available. The guests were super helpful, available as needed. The house was very well equipped with Miele appliances and new/very clean utensils and kitchen/dinner ware.

A once in a lifetime trip

My husband and I had the privilege of taking out parents on a trip. We began in Switzerland with a train ride on the Bernina Express....do this if you never have! From there, we overnighted in Milan where we spent a day before picking up our rental van and heading to Archipettoli. Here, we spent 5 nights from May 3- May 8, 2019, before heading to Rome for a few days. We were greeted by Giampaolo, one of the brothers that owns this beautiful property and villa. Our parents loved staying here. We spent most of our days out exploring Tuscany, Florence (Firenze) and other spots. So we did not spend a lot of time here at the villa. It was unseasonably cool, almost downright cold. Therefore, we had to use the heat, which was an added expense. But honestly, the heat was kept low and we were all comfortable; therefore, the additional cost was low as well. This villa has been meticulously restored and kept. Extremely clean with plenty of room. We, also, had a chef come one evening to prepare dinner at the villa, which was delicious. Two side notes, the villa has some friendly cats. If you don't like cats, they were not a problem. Just a head-ups. One of our Tuscany adventures was Tuscanyballooning.com (a hot air balloon company) that took us right over the villa...incredible beauty all around. We were there during the poppy flower season, which also added to the beauty. Giampaolo recommended a local ristorante that we would all highly recommend as well, La Fattoria near Tavarnelle/Romita. We ate here twice. If we were to ever return, I would not hesitate to return to Archipettoli.

Parfait !

Cette maison et son emplacement sont juste extraordinaires : plantée en haut d'une colline bordée d'oliviers et de vignes, la vue panoramique est à couper le souffle. La maison est à la fois très propre, confortable et bien équipée. Le jardin, très soigné, complète un tableau idyllique ! Valério et son frère Jean-Paul sont adorables. Ils aiment leur Toscane natale et partagent avec plaisir les bon tuyaux mais aussi leurs vins maison ! Nous les remercions chaleureusement de leur accueil. Yadine et Bertrand
