Archipettoli

Near Florence and in a secluded and elevated position with panoramic views of the Apennines on a clear day, Archipettoli is an ideal base for exploring the cultural heritage of Tuscany.

Dating from the 13th century and located in a prime position for visiting Florence, Siena and the heart of Chianti, Archipettoli has been cleverly restored to offer a very well-equipped family home.

The 14 acres of private, landscaped gardens slope gently down to a large swimming pool nestling in the olive groves, set amidst extensive lawns bordered with flowers and the views to the Appenines and Apuan Alps are spectacular.

Special mention must be made of the outside covered terrace, ideal for admiring magnificent sunsets. Young and old alike will enjoy the solar heated pool shower, playing ping-pong and badminton and cooking on the barbeque. Highly recommended for all year as well as spring and autumn comfort. An ideal venue for autumn and winter breaks.  Please enquire if you are interested in long term rentals.

Welcome Provisions Included

A welcome gesture to offer you a drink after your journey; tea or coffee and biscuits, wine or juice and a snack. They are not sufficient for an entire meal. Owners will also generally leave a few other items such as some salt, sugar, oil, bin bags and toilet paper.

Food Hamper

Can be arranged for an additional cost and service charge payable locally. For guests who are arriving late or who recognize they may be delayed and arrive with no time to do shopping. Shops are shut on Sundays, so the aim of the Food Hampers is to provide two light meals and two breakfasts, to allow guests to go out for one meal, then do more shopping on Monday. We can adapt these hampers to take into account allergies, dislikes and dietary requirements, or according to whether there are children in the party.
