About this property

App. Laura B&B in ancient Villa, wifi and parking, meals and services available

Located in Impruneta, in the Florentine Chianti region, the Laura Apartment is an elegant two-room apartment located in an authentic manor house, Villa Saladini, with 500 years of history, an incredible testimony of life in Tuscany at the dawn of the Renaissance.
The interior of the Villa, the magnificent living room with stone fireplace and the small chapel with the family tombs, as well as the other rooms furnished with a rich collection of antiques, can be visited for free on request.
The property is surrounded by a large park with lawns and shady areas under age-old pines and cedars, beyond which hectares of olive fields extend.
Free Wifi and private parking.

Despite being surrounded by greenery, the Villa is located less than 1km from the town center, shops, restaurants and all kinds of amenities.
There is also a convenient bus line that connects the town directly with the center of Florence. There is a stop right outside the entrance gate.
The car is therefore not necessary to visit Florence, while it is recommended if you want to explore the countryside and the small towns of Chianti.

If you come by car, the Villa is located a few kilometers from the main communication routes and is in the perfect position for exploring Tuscany.
We are located just 7 km from the "Firenze - Impruneta" exit of the A1 motorway and from the beginning of the highway that connects Florence with Siena.
From here you can easily reach all the places of cultural interest and the most beautiful places in Tuscany

The Laura Apartment is a comfortable 65m2 apartment consisting of:
• Large bedroom with double bed, two-seater sofa bed and antique desk,
• Bathroom with shower,
• Living room with sofa, flat screen TV, table with 4 chairs, washing machine and kitchen with microwave.
Old terracotta floors and high ceilings decorated by hand.
All the furniture and paintings on the walls are vintage and belong to our family collection.
The walls are over 50 centimeters thick, as was once the custom in this type of building to ensure a cool environment even in the hottest summers.
The apartment is located on the first floor of the villa and enjoys a beautiful view of the park.
In the garden you will find table and chairs for outdoor dining and deck chairs to relax in the shade of the old trees or in the large sunny lawn.

Let us introduce ourselves:
We are Perla and Marco, we are married and live in the Villa with our two children, Bernardo and Beatrice.
The Villa has belonged to our family for many generations, ever since it was built over 500 years ago and has a very special charm.
We love this place and we will be happy to show it to you!

We do our best to make guests feel like they are at home.
Upon your arrival we will welcome you with maps of Florence and Chianti, tourist information including opening times of the main museums, some useful guides, bus timetables, etc.
We also offer a discount at some of the best restaurants in the area.

In the hope of meeting all your needs, we have organized ourselves to offer various additional services on request: homemade breakfast and dinner, car with driver for Chianti tours or guided tours, wine tastings, professional cooking lessons (we have an agreement with a cooking school to have a professional chef who teaches private lessons in the Villa's kitchen), non-professional cooking lessons (Perla will be happy to teach you how to prepare homemade pasta), guided tours in Florence with a professional guide, service shuttle to and from the airport or station ... and much more.
If you decide to book, we will send you a detailed list of all the services with the relative prices and if you want more, try to ask and we will try to satisfy you.

Come and visit us: you will love it !!

A Special End to a Great Vacation
What a wonderful setting and unique place to stay. Villa Saladini is a 500 year old home just a few miles outside Florence and it has all the charm and interest you would expect. The appartments are carved out of the newestpart of the house and are modern yet filled with antiques. The rest of the house, of which we got a wonderful tour from Perla, is fascinating. The 3 kitchens, dating from the original one to the one created 200 years ago, are especially interesting. The site is convenient to the bus to Florence (we don't rent cars anymore, much easier) and close enough to the town of Impruneta to walk in. Perla and Marco were wonderful hosts. They offer a great deal more than the usual VRBO site and they were very attentive to our needs. We highly recommend this site.

Villa Saladini ...the jewel in the crown!
I stayed at Villa Saladini for a month. I was met at the airport by Marco, who soon transported me to this 'magical' place. Perla met me in my apartment with a very warm welcome, and lots of information in leaflets and booklets, and for me, most important, bus timetables! My apartment was very comfortable and well equipt, with a very big, ultra- comfortable bed which I found very difficult to leave in the morning! Villa Saladini, with its beautiful surrounds, is very peaceful, where I enjoyed walking and relaxing, and looking at the wonderful views of the Chianti hills from the olive groves. The bus for Florence stops almost outside the entrance gates to the grounds of the Villa, and the lovely town of Impruneta is just a very pleasant walk of 1km. I was very sad to leave Villa Saladini, Perla and Marco are very special friends now, and I look forward to returning in the very near future.

Séjour d'avril-mai 2014
Très belle location au caractère authentique des vieilles propriétés dans un cadre reposant au coeur des oliviers. Loin de l'agitation de Florence et à la fois proche grâce à l'accès facilité par le bus. Très bon accueil des propriétaires à l'écoute des besoins de leurs hôtes. A recommander!

About the host

Hosted by Perla and Marco

Host profile image
I live in Impruneta, a small town at the edge of Chianti, a few kilometers from Florence.
I'm married with Marco, who manages with me the apartments we rent.
The Villa where we live belonged to our family for generations and we love it.
We have 2 wonderful kids: Bernardo and Beatrice, they are the joy of our life.
We like countryside, good food and good wine ... we wait for you!

Why they chose this property

Marco and I have decided to rent to have an income that allows us to keep the property and not to sell it.
We did not want to be us to sell a property that belongs to our family for 500 years!

What makes this property unique

This place is more unique than rare. It is a place with an ancient soul, a place where time has stopped and we are proud and glad to be able to share it.
