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.
