Palazzo Machiavelli

Just 15 kilometres south of Florence, the scenic village of San Casciano Val di Pesa is a delightful destination and some of the most arresting luxury Tuscany villas. Palazzo Machiavelli sits in the heart of the countryside surrounding Florence, spoiling guests with its adorable traditional Tuscan architecture and heart-stopping scenery. Amazing sunsets, panoramic views of the cascading fills and valleys that spread below the eye, red-tile roofs, pastel colours on the walls, fantastic wall art in mind-blowing Renaissance and Romanesque style, high ceilings, arches, and fantastic floorwork can’t even begin to describe the allures of this property. One thing is certain, though. Even if you are accustomed to a VIP lifestyle, you’d still be impressed by the luxuries of this exquisite palace-like mansion.

Why rent Palazzo Machiavelli

With lavish suites that feel like a home, both in size and comfort, you’ll probably have a hard time wanting to get out there and explore the amazing natural surroundings and the beautiful scenery wrapping all around you. Not, at least, until you submerge in that elegant onyx and marble jacuzzi bathtub in your room to awaken your senses or spend some time in the steam room, while the kids are still sleeping in the interconnected room right next to yours.

There is even a dedicated Royal wing inside this amazing mansion that hosts the super-stylish Machiavelli Suite, sitting right under the floor that is home to absolutely breath-taking mezzanine-style bedroom that gives guests yet another reason to prolong their stay – leaving the panoramic views from the shared balcony on the first floor can be difficult at this point!

From meditating and practising yoga to taking endless strolls along the grass-filled property, you’ll definitely be spoiled for choice. The fully-equipped kitchens (one is a professional one and is located outside the main unit to make hosting large parties even more convenient), the spa area featuring a Turkish bath, chrome therapy, an indoor heated pool, and three massage rooms, as well as the professional gym are all at your service to offer you memorable experiences.

Love wine? Do not miss out on a visit to the Palazzo Machiavelli’s wine cellar. You can thank us later! Countless hours of pure bliss and relaxation await, if that feels like a true wish fulfilment for you, either at the lounge sitting area under the pergola, next to the private pool outdoors, or under the umbrellas (an interesting addition to the unit’s overall style). Your evenings can find you gathered around the BBQ, watching the sunset from any of the outdoor or indoor dining or sitting areas, sipping delicious wine, and moving to the beat of the music (in case you have decided to throw a lively private party), knowing that the little ones (if you are visiting Tuscany with your family and children) play safely and happily within the gated property.

Kindly note that Palazzo Machiavelli is also one of the dreamiest Chianti villas for private weddings, as it features its own private church and can also be rented with the adjacent villa that accommodates up to 36 more people!
