Tuscany villa rental between Florence and Pisa

This exceptional villa enjoys total privacy and is part of an ancient hamlet. Only 30 minutes from Pisa and Florence, and with Empoli and its shops and restaurants a mere 5 minutes away, Villa il Cotone offers you a tranquil and idyllic haven within its enclosed olive cultivated grounds.

Traditional features of wooden beams and terracotta floors are skillfully blended with vibrant colours, contemporary furniture and rich fabrics to create a really delightful ambience. Outside the villa are manicured grass terraces with over 200 olive trees and on a higher and more private south-facing terrace is the beautifully set swimming pool with sunbeds, the perfect spot to read or sip a glass of Chianti.

The villa is traditionally Italian with the the kitchen at its heart. With its own entrance, this superbly equipped family kitchen boasts a large wooden table seating up to 12 guests, a central stove unit, oven, microwave, toaster, blender and dishwasher, and will appeal to the keenest of cooks. A working fireplace adds to the welcoming atmosphere in the colder months.
