Villa Il Cerretino Tuscany luxury pool countryside Florence

Our stay at Poggio a Caiano, Villa II Cerretino Tuscany, was extraordinary. From booking to checkout, Benedetta, the Property Manager, provided exceptional communication and support. Her knowledge of the villa’s history, local attractions, and help with reservations made everything seamless. She even organized a perfect post-wedding celebration for 30 guests with catering, musicians, and beautiful decor. The villa is a stunning mix of 14th-century tradition and modern luxury. The expansive pool and spa area, with ample seating, evening lighting, and convenient poolside facilities, was a highlight. We loved exploring the 20-hectare park, filled with olive and citrus trees, offering panoramic views of Florence. The private courtyard, chapel, and spacious seating areas were ideal for family gatherings. Inside, the villa exceeded expectations. It’s larger than photos suggest, with beautifully furnished rooms filled with art and décor. The daily housekeeping by Loredana, was impeccable, and the kitchen was fully equipped for meal prep. Mornings on the outdoor patio, surrounded by nature, were serene, with sightings of deer, foxes, and birds. The six large bedrooms, each with its own ensuite and air conditioning, offered comfort and privacy. The gated entrance, long driveway, and meticulously maintained gardens added to the sense of exclusivity. Villa II Cerretino is a hidden gem in Tuscany, blending luxury with peace. We highly recommend it! Thank you, Benedetta ❤

Our family just returned from our stay at the Villa Il Cerrentino. To say we enjoyed the property would be an understatement! The pictures listed on the site are beautiful but we all agreed that the property is even better in person. We had 9 adults, one teen and a three year old in our party. The villa and grounds were expansive and beautifully maintained. The pool was a highlight! We enjoyed lounging and swimming almost daily. We cooked most meals at the villa and found the kitchen stocked with everything we needed for our meals. The weather was beautiful and permitted us to dine al fresco on the patio adjacent to the kitchen. The rooms were overly spacious, the beds very comfortable and each room had its own bathroom. Benedetta was a wonderful host and so responsive! She made our stay easy and provided us with prompt answers to any questions we had. Some of us made a day trip into Florence with a private driver. This was a highlight of the trip as many of us had never been into the city. We also took a day trip to a local vineyard, Pieve dei Medici. I highly recommend this as well. Very close to the villa and a wonderful addition to our vacation. Thank you Benedetta for your hospitality and we hope to be back!

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!!

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.

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
