villa verbena

Stretching along a picturesque river in Tuscany, this luxury vacation villa for rent is surrounded by ancient and charming oak wood, making the whole landscape like the scenery of a fairytale in the heart of Italy. This serene sanctuary is conveniently located just a thirty-minute drive from the heart of Florence.
Steeped in history, the estate was once owned by the powerful Medici family back in 1350, a legacy testified by majestic local works of art created by Renaissance masters such as Donatello. Today, this three-story traditional farmhouse has been completely renovated to offer an authentic, sophisticated atmosphere for family and friends, blending its noble past with modern luxury.
To ensure a truly restorative Italian vacation, guests staying at Villa Verbena are cared for by a dedicated team, with meticulous daily housekeeping, discreet pool and garden maintenance, and a dedicated concierge ready to curate every detail of your stay. Days begin with a complimentary, farm-to-table breakfast, served under a lovely pergola with sweeping views of the countryside.
The villa boasts exceptional private wellness facilities, elevating the property to a premium retreat. Sport lovers can enjoy the private gym equipped with Technogym machinery, or practice morning meditation on the alfresco yoga deck shaded by the trees. For profound relaxation, a dedicated massage and beauty room is available for bespoke, in-villa spa treatments.
Outdoors, the expansive gardens provide a safe haven, enhanced by a private heated swimming pool and a fully-equipped sunbathing area. The property also includes the modern convenience of two EV car chargers.
The villa features six cozy, air-conditioned bedrooms and six bathrooms, decorated in a refined Tuscan style. The estate’s 1,500-acre organic farm provides natural, daily-harvested produce, allowing the estate’s chefs to offer an authentic, healthy culinary experience to savvy guests. The historical property boasts also a private wine cellar with a luxury collection of the estate's own organic and prestigious Tuscan labels, which guests can select to pair with a gourmet dinner.
Enhanced by an idyllic location, Villa Verbena is the perfect place to enjoy outdoor activities to make the most out of every day. Guests of Villa Verbena can deeply experience the connection to the countryside through e-bike tours, fly fishing, in-villa cooking classes, or sailing in the nearby Bilancino Lake.
