Villa Pozzo is in the heart of Tuscany in the Golden Triangle which is the center of Florence, Siena and Pisa. Panoramic views of the Chianti Hillside make this villa estate extraordinary. This large villa has beautiful apartments along with general sitting areas and is elegantly appointed and decorated with antiques as well as a piano. The layout allows privacy within the apartments but also offers communal areas for the perfect setting, for either family or friends for wedding or vacation. This entire estate, hillside pool and all, is yours exclusively when you rent Villa Pozzo. It holds up to 30 guests maximum, (ideally 26 adults and 4 children). It is a gorgeous location for a wedding or event, but it is also perfect for a large group of friends and family. The apartments in the villa have a kitchen, living room and bathroom. Each apartment is configured differently, so please look at the captions on the photos. What makes it wonderful for your group is that there is a central chef's kitchen with both indoor and outdoor dining available. You can book your chef services through me or bring in your own. In addition to the. chef's services, I also offer transportation, guided tours, local cooking classes, and many wine tastings and winery tours. This villa itself is a wine producing estate with their vineyards visible throughout the hillside views. Tenuta Pozzo makes a delicious Chianti table wine and reserve as well as others. Your stay at the villa entitles you to a free wine tasting with Donato, your wine expert. Their wines are normally served with the Al Fresco Chef's dinner, wedding reception or event. It adds a nice touch to your stay! Guests have full private access to the entire estate which includes the hillside, pool area, and the entire villa with outdoor patios and dining areas. The chef's kitchen is available as well as the inside or outdoor dining area. This is a self-catering villa which means that you bring in the services that you would like. If you plan to host a wedding, you can bring any vendors in to create the ambiance for your ceremony and reception. There are local staff that can be hired to assist you with kitchen/dining services. I also have chef services available to have an Al Fresco Chef's dinner on the terrace. The only person that will be at the property is the property manager to check you in and then to stop by to make sure that all is well. You can call 24 hours for assistance as the property manager lives nearby. Your stay is exclusive so the entire villa, estate and hillside are for your use only. I will be happy to assist you in the booking process as well as throughout your stay. I can create your dream Tuscany vacation and will work with you to choose the finest services to meet your needs. At the property, Ute is the property manager who will check you in and assist you with details at the villa. The owner, Mrs. Gori is always available for assistance as well. We work together as your team to provide you with exceptional service and an incredible stay. So step back in time and relax in your gorgeous villa and enjoy the amazing property. You can swim in the pool, hike through the hillside or sit in one of the many outdoor sitting areas to sip some wine and soak in the serenity of the Tuscan countryside. Villa Pozzo is tucked in the Chianti Hillside, away from the hustle and bustle, but, it's only a 10 minute ride into Certaldo where everything is available to you: pharmacies, supermarket, butcher, cafes, restaurants, train station, etc. You will need a car for this property and for Tuscany in general unless you arrange for transportation. All of the sightseeing in major cities is a ride of under an hour and San Gimignano is only 15 minutes away. While staying at the villa, there is a local Osteria that provides transport to/from their restaurant in case you want to dine and not have to drive. That info is available to you when you check in. Certaldo has excellent restaurants as well. My favorite Osteria, La Saletta is located off the main square where there is ample parking. They specialize in the Slow Food Movement and serve amazing dishes and they also pair wine very well and offer a wide selection. Don't forget to stop at Jam Cafe near the train station for a nice latte or espresso along with their signature Cornetto Crema, but be careful because the Dolci and cafe are totally addictive. What's especially nice about staying at this villa is that you have the whole Chianti Countryside experience but yet you aren't far from local daily life. You will feel right at home here! If you would like to take the train into Florence or Siena, the train station in Certaldo will take you there. You can also reach anywhere in Italy by transferring trains in Florence. There are buses as well that run throughout Tuscany, but you would want to rely on the trains first. You can head in any direction by car to reach a different Medieval city or town and it's easy to navigate with a GPS or Google maps. As a Travel Advisor and Tour Operator, I have expertise in this region and will be happy to help you plan your trip to make it special. I live in Certaldo, Tuscany part-time as well as in the US, so I'm able to assist you with any questions you have. This is a self-catering villa which means that you bring in whatever services you'd like to have. If you are preparing for a wedding, then you can create your dream design and bring onto the property whoever you like to set up your ceremony and reception. I can assist you with recommendations for any and all services that you wish to have.
