TUSCANY
Impruneta is a typical “Casa Colonica” of the 16th century, situated in a panoramic position on top of a hill embedded in olive groves. During the last renovation, great effort was made to retain the original style and structures in form and size. Villa Impruneta is located about 8 miles from Florence, and its warm hospitality, intimate atmosphere and the dreamy silence of the Tuscan hills promise an unforgettable vacation. The estate features the main villa, for up to 10 people, and a cottage. A typical Florentine structure, the villa has been completely renovated using original materials and many beautiful antiques and art pieces, bringing the original features to life again.

Famous for its art and architecture, Florence is an obligatory destination for the first-timer visitor of Italy. However, while exploring the historical center is something that cannot be missed, the pristine studded landscapes and the enchanted medieval villages set on the famous Tuscan rolling hills surrounding Florence are well worth a visit.
The most famous area to explore is the Chianti, a blessed land that covers a rather large wine-producing region of Tuscany, reaching from Florence to Siena, and all the way out to Pisa. Chianti’s must see sights are the wine villages of Castellina, Radda and Gaiole. Along the road visit the Badia di Coltibuono and/or Castello di Brolio and do not forget to pick up some wine to enjoy at the villa!

Toscana - Tuscany
Tuscany is the place we all dream of….The place we want to retire to, and it is that place that will echo in your heart for a life time once you have stayed there and felt the essence of the organic life that passes by there each day.
With fields of sunflowers as far as they eye can see, olive groves and vineyards lining every street corner make Tuscany’s country side a picture worth painting. With its abundance of tiny medieval towns scattered around the hills, open air markets where locals gather each Saturday morning to offer their produce such as Truffle oil, olives, chianti wine, cured meats etc makes Tuscany the perfect place to visit for those that love food, wine and history.
