About This Villa

Villa Tolomei is an elegant, softly mustard-toned Tuscan villa, set within its own ample and luscious grounds framed with swaying poplar trees, set in the nook of gently, sloping grounds.

This prestigious home is finished with impeccable taste and style: it offers generous proportions, beautiful original stone, exposed timber beams, finished with muted pastel tones, soft fawns and pale pistachios creating an ambience of understated luxe. Villa Tolomei is abundant with character - far from being yet another uninspiring holiday home - this is a charismatic “home from home,” full of local flavour and style, well-chosen artwork, soft furnishings and elegant lighting.

Guests will immediately feel the tempo drop as they enter this home that has both such a calm aura and epitomises such classic style. The stunning exterior is softened by terracotta tiled, sloping veranda roof and abundant green, creeping foliage; the trellis covered outdoor dining space offering dappled light.

Interiors are far from following the post modernist trends and gimmicks of design magazines; on the contrary, this home offers a timelessness, one of pared-down opulence - there is a lightness of touch and a classical tone with the original architectural features speaking for themselves.

There is a main reception room, as well as a separate television lounge; both with wonderfully high ceilings - beautiful rugs, wallpaper and the subtle palette create such a tranquil aura in this stylish home.

The bedrooms are serene and immaculately chic: again with classic style and a soft palette of power blues, french greys, soft pinks and low, ambient lighting, they set the scene for a restorative stay. From chandeliers, to walk in steam room shower, to antique solid wood furnishings, there is no compromise on quality. Nine bedrooms can accommodate up to eighteen guests, meaning this home is ideal for a couple of families, or for holidaying in a group, or with extended family.

The outdoor spaces are sublime, looking over the wonderful rolling countryside. Set over a series of buildings, including the distinctive “watchtower” building - a Rapunzel-like tower finished with the same elegant charm as the rest of this home.

Villa Tolomei combines the best of a private and secluded villa, along with five-star hotel grade services including babysitting, private chef, access to a health spa and grocery provision: virtually any request can be bet to make guests stay at Villa Tolomei as seamless as possible.

Dining al fresco is a naturally elegant affair: the dappled foliage creates a shady al fresco dining spot on the veranda overlooking expansive grounds. The pool is set within supreme privacy, providing a wonderful setting for a refreshing morning swim, followed by fresh coffee and pastries, or simply a relaxing poolside with a good book and a cool beer.

The access to services is unparalleled at Villa Tolomei: from massages to laundry service, to well equipped gym, to partaking in cookery classes or physiotherapy, whilst the sheer natural and understated beauty of the surroundings and home itself provide a genuine Tuscan idyll, placed to enjoy the best of nature, within the most sophisticated yet cosy ambience.
