About this property

Luxury 17th century villa,6Kms from Florence historic city center!Pool-AC-WiFi

Located atop the hill of the ancient Certosa abbey of Florence, only 6 Kms away from the ancient walls of downtown Florence, Villa Berni is the ideal lodging for those who wish to visit the city during the day, and relax by night. Immersed in the green countryside of Florence, Villa Berni is located by the Certosa highway exit, 5 minutes away, in a strategic position to visit the wonderful hills of Tuscany. The four fireplaces, terracotta floors and antique furnishings compliment the history of the villa, while the luxurious linens, modern bathrooms and air conditioning create a relaxing elegance in this tranquil country setting. Amenities also include WIFI Adsl internet, satellite TV, and his private historic Florentine garden with ITS PRIVATE POOL. The villa has three floors. On the first floor there are 4 bedrooms and on the second floor there is the tower of the villa with a bedroom and its private bathroom. From the two windows of the tower bedroom you have an amazing view of the duomo of Florence.


Two day trips above all - not to be missed!: Chianti Route (Total Kms 35 - one round trip):
1st leg: Sant'Andrea in Percussina (with visit to Machiavelli's house)
2nd leg: San Casciano (visit the ancient walls of the town)
3rd leg: Montefioralle (visit the historic centre and lunch at the Castellana!)
4th leg: Greve in Chianti (walk in the world-renowned square, shop for typical cold cuts at Falorni's butcher shop and wine tasting at the characteristic winery inside a tavern, right behind the square).
Palio Route (Total Kms 60 - one round trip):
1st leg: San Gimignano (walk inside the 'City of Towers' - UNESCO heritage since 1990)
2nd leg: Monteriggioni (lunch in the medieval fortress of the town)
3rd leg: Siena (home to the famous Palio, you can walk in the medieval streets, or just sun-bathe in Piazza del Campo)


About meal...: Upon request, it is possible to prepared Tuscany dishes, carefully cooked by my mom Mina. The dishes are those of the ancient Tuscan tradition such as Pappa al Pomodoro (a soup-like dish prepared with bread and tomatoes), Ribollita (a potpourri of local vegetables and bread, simmered for hours and hours), and Tripe with tomato sauce (a very typical Florentine dish).

The History: The villa was built in the XVII century. At the beginning of the '900 the Berni's family bought the villa for the summer holiday in the Florentine countryside. The villa has been lovingly and elegantly restored at the begging of the 2007 with traditional taste and contemporary comfort. The four fireplaces, terracotta floors and antique furnishings compliment the history of the villa, while the luxurious linens, modern bathrooms and air conditioning create a relaxing elegance in this tranquil country setting.

An excellent property

We had such a great stay for almost two weeks. As two family groups with young children we were able to spread out as the rooms are very large. It’s one of the rare places that is better than the photos! Great to get the Tuscan experience and still be able to drive into central Florence.

Our group of two older parents and two daughters with their families (total 10 with 4 children under 8) had a great time at this lovely home for a week long stay. Beautiful location and a large older but updated with modern conveniences home was perfect for us. We hired the 8 passenger NCC taxi with driver during our stay.

Excellant Stay

We had a wonderful stay. We used Marco's driving service and he was excellent and always on time. The villa was spacious and well stocked. We really enjoyed the turtles. The only con was we didn't realize the downstairs bedroom headboard was covered in ants and my mother was severely bitten all over her face and hands, which left her unable to enjoy the trip.

Villa in Bottai

The house is big except for the kitchen which is small. The bathrooms have been redone and the bedrooms all have an individual AC unit. In extreme heat, the downstairs will be hot since only the bedrooms have AC. The game room is nice and the backyard is nice (again if not too hot). It is an old property that has some updates to it. it could use some love and attention to furnishings and decorations to make it feel nicer and more guest friendly. Hirning Marco was the best thing we did. He was able to suggest restaurants and he knew where to drop us off in the cities we visited.

Character and comfort

We rented this villa for 7 days at the end of July. The place is great for a large group with spacious bedrooms, dining room and bathrooms. The owners were responsive and brought us fresh veggies from their garden. The only downside was the lack of transportation - so better to have a car and not rely on buses or Uber (not available in that area).

Spacious property with large family home

The property is outside Florence near Botai. This is a wonderful retreat away from the bustle of Florence. The narrow lanes are fun to drive until you meet another car and must negotiate who goes first. The owners were eager to meet our needs and did repair/replace some items we called to their attention. Grestvfor a large group!

Italan villa outside of Florence

All the ameneties were provided, everything you needed to cook including fresh vegetables. Villa was beautiful, great character, courtyard was amazing. It was a picture perfect and enchanting location to stay. We took advantage of the driving service and Marco is absolutely wonderful. Using Marco's driving service made every part of the trip better. We went to Lucca, Siene, various vineyards and restaurants and having Marco drive made everything easy. Retiring to the coutyard at the end of every evening for some wine was just perfect. 5 stars all the way.

Two weeks in Paradise

If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is the perfect location. The property was magnificent. Every area was well stocked (kitchen, dining room, bathrooms, bedrooms). The hint of home was everywhere. The surroundings were comfortable and the furniture was beautiful, providing plenty of room to store items! The "Park" with lemons and limes, offered many sitting arrangements, and the host even left the pool available for the 2 weeks of our visit. We fed the turtles wandering around and RELAXED! Marcos, the driver - was truly exceptional and always on time! He drove us to Pisa and a few of our trips lasted several hours. He patiently waited and always greeted us with a smile! From games and books in the study to a perfectly stocked china cabinet - there was nothing more that was needed to make this a superb vacation location!

Florence Villa for 15 days

We flew to Florence and started our visit with a great pickup from the airport by Marco. We hired him as our driver for the whole 15 days. He was punctual and easy to work with. We planned his time at least 1 day in advance. The villa is old and does have some mold in shower and not hot water in all of them but overall we loved the property. It was hot so we used the pool daily. It’s not heated so it’s very refreshing! We cooked our dinner most nights. Marco took us to the grocery store multiple times. Beds were comfortable. We asked for clean sheets and towels after the first week and Enrico and his crew were very accommodating. We walked to the Locande Colazzi restaurant for lunch one Sunday. Only 1/2 mile away. Good food. Thanks Enrico and Marco for a wonderful stay at your villa.

Our 'Familymoon' in Florence

Having married and united our two families we decided to include our four children, their other halves, our two new grandchildren and our mother on our 'familymoon'. The house layout and location was perfect for our group and it was exactly as described. We decided to book Marco's mini bus taxi for the week - what a great service, Marco was fantastic. He was punctual, friendly and patient if we were a little late! We also took advantage of the wonderful dinner service provided by Mina and Enrico. We would totally recommend this - the food and wine were amazing and it made for a really relaxing evening for our family and a lovely surprise for our daughter's birthday. We found the property to be in a quiet and safe location with wonderful views from all the bedrooms, especially the tower room. The garden was perfect having both sunny and shady areas, the small pool (although a little cold) was a welcome escape from the heat at times. Our hosts were excellent and friendly - nothing was too much trouble and any questions were answered quickly. We would totally recommend this property and location and would love to return in the future,

Not impressed at all.

We booked this villa because we were attending my niece's wedding in Florence and needed a place to sleep 12. The villa was exactly as the photos but in need of some attention. My daughter had the downstairs room which was a bit fusty and during a thunderstorm, rain poured through the ceiling onto the bed. Water also came through all the glass doors and towles were needed to prevent accidents. My son's bed collapsed the first night and was not replaced until the third night. Noone came to ask if all was ok and the only contact was when we had to contact them. When we arrived there was no welcome pack of homegrown vegetables as the photos would have you believe. Indeed there was nothing at all. There was no information on the villa, nearest places to eat and drink and even no emergency telephone numbers or details of a local chemist and doctor. We were left on our own to find our own way to the nearest bus stop which is a real hike and would certainly not recommend walking back! The nearest supermarket is further than the bus stop and without a car, a taxi is needed. The villa is too far from Florence without a car. Taxi's one way are at least 25-30 euros. Overall we we were all disappointed in this villa and we all felt it spoilt our enjoyment of Florence. Even with a car, I would not recommend it. I felt that it could be very nice if it was maintained better and information on the workings of the house and emergency numbers should be a must.

This villa is a dream

I have no words to describe how lovely the villa is. It was such a incredible experience to gather family in this beautiful historic mansion. Each room is beautifully furnished. It has so many bathrooms that even with the bedrooms filled, we never had to wait for our turn to shower. We spent a lot of time most days in the lovely garden area. We especially enjoyed the pet turtles that patrol the grounds. It is a ways from the nearest town (1 mile on foot on a narrow road) so I’m very glad we rented a car to do day trips. We also hired the owner’s brother one day to take us to Pisa and Lucca. (He has a huge passenger van) If you wanted to just hang out at the villa a car wouldn’t be necessary (can call taxis too but that was sometimes challenging for we non-Italian speakers). It should be said that the road up to the Villa is very narrow (the kind where you have to pull over to the side if a car comes the other way) and it’s very winding and steep. I was tasked with being the rental car driver but even with my nerves of steel, I found it a little harrowing. The upside is you are high up in a remote area (yet close to Florence and nearby towns) and you have an incredible view. I did get a few bug bites but they have mosquito coils and bug repellent available in a supply closet. I saw lots of tourists with bug bites so I think it was just mosquito season there (I don’t know why but I didn’t expect mosquitoes in Italy). The dinner made by the owner’s mother was amazing and truly memorable. We were celebrating my mom‘s 80th birthday and had originally planned to cook a big meal. The kitchen is completely adequate but not super big or set up for a lot of food prep. So, a few days before we asked if the mama who lives next door could make a meal for 13 people and luckily she did! Best decision we ever made. For €30 each we got a four course meal with wine. Everything about our stay was beautiful. We would absolutely go back.

We very much enjoyed staying at Villa Berni. The hospitality was very responsive anytime we needed it. It was so relaxing, rustic and beautiful. We entertained many family members and friends as guests throughout our month stay with ease. Everyone had enough space. It is not far from Florence but we recommend having a driver if you can get one. Otherwise you can find a taxi or drive to the wall of Florence and walk or e-bike. We loved the turtles and the refreshing pool especially in the hottest days of the summer. We will miss it! Don't miss the restaurant around the corner called Locanda Collazzi. Amazing food.

Lovely property in the hills near Florence. The garden and house is beautiful. The only thing that would have been helpful is some information on the local area and restaurants, information about the property (bins etc), anything the owners expected from us during our stay. We used the taxi app Apptaxi which was great to get into Florence as we tried to call a company but they couldn't understand us. We would definitely visit again.

Beautiful Villa

We have just returned from a week at Villa Berni...3 generations of a family of 10...deciding to ignore the warnings that even the locals tend to leave in August due to the heat. We were greeted late in the evening by Enrico who was charming, despite our flight being delayed by 2hrs. The communication between guest and owners couldn't be better. It made things so easy for us. The Villa is huge and as the other reviews comment, the garden is absolutely gorgeous - the photos really do not do it justice. I can't say too much about day trips as we were all happy relaxing in the gardens, using the lovely pool, hunting for baby tortoises (which Enrico lovingly rescued to put in a safer place!), and eating delicious local produce...some from our hosts and some from the local shops. A word about that...the closest shop to walk to isn't far...about 2km I think (Tavernuzze) but it's entirely downhill on the way and therefore no walk in the park on the way back! We paid approx €35 for taxis into Florence which was a doddle to organise, again thanks to Enrico - he really was a brilliant host. Thank you for a wonderful holiday! We have all come home refreshed and relaxed 😊
