Towards the end of the thirteenth century, an aristocratic Italian family from Florence built a luxury villa for the summer holidays in the Tuscan countryside. It is a nine-hectare estate located only a 15-minute drive from the centre of Florence, surrounded by an oasis of greenery and tranquillity, bordered by the banks of the Arno river.
In this great position, you can find Colonica, an elegant 5-star villa, perfect for weekly vacation rentals in the heart of Tuscany, located in the well known Chianti wine region, offering utmost privacy to its guests.
On the same estate, it is possible to find the luxury hotel Villa La Massa, a member of The Leading Hotels of The World, part of the Villa d’Este Group in 1998.
Dating from the nineteenth century, Colonica has four suites, divided on two floors, each with an en suite bathroom and a walk in closet. On the ground floor you can find a Suite and a Junior Suite, these two suites can be communicating and have access to a small shared garden.
The inevitable Tuscan style cannot fail to have terracotta tiles on the floor, details of wrought iron and wood. The combination of these details together with the colors of the furnishings make this villa extremely chic and comfortable. Colonica is particularly suitable for hosting families or groups of friends, who are in need of large private spaces and common entertainment areas.
The guests of Colonica can take advantage of the hotel services; the exclusive restaurant "Il Verrocchio" with a romantic terrace overlooking the Arno river; L'Oliveto bistrot, which overlooks the pool area and occupies a former barn lovingly restored to offer relaxed Tuscan dining; the Medici Bar enriched with nineteenth-century frescoes; the hotel’s wine cellar, where you can have tastings and private events, in lovely rooms dating back to the fifteenth century; the Spa, an inevitable place to regenerate physically and mentally, equipped with a Turkish bath, a sauna, a Roman Tub with whirlpool, sensory showers, cabins for different kind of treatments and massages. The garden offers a heated outdoor swimming pool, as well as a gym with yoga area and a tennis court, which are available to guests of Colonica and guests of the hotel.
To practice sports between a visit to the city center and the other, this property spoils you with choices: gym, jogging, tennis, riding stables and the well-known golf course, golf club Ugolino, located on a ten-kilometer distance from Colonica.
