Villa Rinascimento: A Renaissance Masterpiece Reborn as a Luxury Retreat
Few villas in Tuscany can claim a pedigree as illustrious as Villa Rinascimento, a 14th-century hamlet just outside Florence where history, art, and la dolce vita collide. Once owned by a family of painters and frequented by Renaissance masters including Raffaello, Pontormo, and Botticelli, this storied estate now opens its doors to modern travelers seeking both grandeur and authenticity.
Set in the heart of Chianti’s rolling countryside, just a 15-minute drive from Florence, Villa Rinascimento is enveloped by 30 acres of vineyards, olive groves, forests, and a serene lake. The estate still produces fine olive oil, grounding its centuries-old ties to the land. From sun-drenched panoramic walkways to manicured gardens and a vast outdoor pool, the setting is as cinematic as it is restorative.
Inside, the villa marries historic charm with contemporary comfort. Antique furnishings and frescoes whisper of its past, while refurbished interiors add a layer of understated luxury. Guests can gather in elegant lounges warmed by fireplaces, dine beneath soaring ceilings, or retreat to one of the 20 bedrooms spread across five distinct buildings—each with its own story to tell.
The main villa houses five bedrooms, including a dramatic master suite with sweeping 360-degree views of the property and the Florence skyline. The Fattoria recalls the rhythms of Tuscan farm life, ideal for wine or olive oil tastings, while the Frantoio, once the olive oil press, now offers spacious living areas and guest rooms with rustic flair. The Bottega, once an art gallery, and the Studio, where the family painted, have both been reimagined as stylish residences with kitchens, salons, and intimate suites.
Beyond its architecture, Villa Rinascimento is a destination for wellness and celebration. A private spa—complete with Jacuzzi, hammam, sauna, massage room, and mini-gym—invites deep relaxation. Outdoors, the estate is perfect for long walks or simply savoring the Tuscan sunsets with a glass of Chianti in hand. For special occasions, the frescoed chapel by Ridolfo del Ghirlandaio offers an unforgettable setting for weddings or milestone events.
Whether hosting 40 guests for a corporate retreat or gathering family and friends for a Tuscan holiday, Villa Rinascimento embodies the art of Italian living—where history is never just admired, but experienced.
