VIESCA Suites

Set in the countryside of Reggello, east of Florence and a short drive from the Chianti hills, Viesca is a Renaissance estate that became the property of the Ferragamo family in the 1950s. Today it welcomes guests amid unspoilt nature, peace and privacy, with options suited to couples as well as families and groups of friends.

Accommodation is spread across the 16th-century main villa, six independent villas and around twenty suites in the hamlet of Pian di Rinaldi and the Roseto, plus the Due Torri Family Cottage, a former two-storey hay barn with a private garden. Interiors pair traditional terracotta and wood with modern comforts such as air conditioning, a safe, TV and a coffee machine, and some units also have a kitchen.

Leisure time centres on the outdoor infinity pool overlooking the landscape, two tennis courts, mountain bikes and the La Corte Spa with sauna, Turkish bath, hot tub, relaxation area, treatments and a gym. Yoga classes, wine tastings and nature trails are on offer, and the Il Borro Tuscan Bistro serves Tuscan cuisine, alongside breakfast and a bar.

Private parking is free and WiFi costs nothing. Dogs are welcome at no extra charge, with a basket and bowls provided, making the estate a great base for exploring Florence, the Valdarno and Chianti with your four-legged friend.
