Villa Giotto – Large country house to let in Tuscany

Giotto di Bondone was an Italian painter from the late Middle Ages, who is widely considered to have been the first of the many great artists that contributed to the Italian Renaissance. Being associated with such ambitious acclaim anyone or thing named after the great Italian artist certainly has a lot to live up to.

Villa Giotto

Poised in one of the prettiest valleys in Tuscany not far from Florence one of the most artistically-renowned cities in the world, Villa Giotto certainly does Giotto’s name the justice it deserves.

If you’re an extended family or a group of friends looking a culturally-enhancing holiday in the most stunning of surroundings, then you’ve come to the right place. This huge country house to let in Tuscany has seven bedrooms and six bathrooms and can easily sleep 13 guests.

Villa Giotto’s spacious rooms are rendered even more roomy and liberating by the magnificent views they boast, casting the eye far out across the verdurous valleys, forests and beyond. Daylight floods in the rooms of this exquisite stone house and tasteful furnishings and fittings give a feeling of authentic elegance.

Large parties holidaying together often require some distractions to keep help keep them entertained. At Villa Giotto entertainment can be found in the form of a large billiard table in the living/dining room, a private swimming pool with a diving board and panoramic views and a well-tended garden for guests to get lost in.

Of course wining and dining a little more copiously than normal makes up a huge portion of holiday entertainment and Giotto is certainly geared towards wining and dining in style. With a pizza oven conveniently located next to an outdoor dining area, external kitchen and a barbecue, this incredible country house is designed for some serious al fresco dinner parties.

Giving the accommodation an even more novel twist is the fact that Tuscan cooking lessons and an in-house cook are also available on request.

With such fun and beauty on your doorstep you could be forgiven for not wanting to step outside Villa Giotto’s grounds for the duration of your holiday. With mouth-watering restaurants just a stone’s throw away in the nearby town of Vicchio and with Florence which, due to its unique architectural and artistic heritage has been ranked as being one of the world’s cultural capitals, by avoiding venturing further a field, you’d be missing out.
