Description

Villa Il Forte was at the origin (century 13/14) a fortified position, elements of which have come to light, such as the colonnade surrounding the courtyard and the walls of the tower structure, elements that have made possible a particularly refined restoration and the creation of environments of charm. Even the terracotta floor is specially manufactured with a mixture of black kaolin to get the gray-brown colour to harmonize with the walls made of local stone.

Villa Il Forte is situated near to San Donato in Collina, only 14 km from Florence, well connected to many art sites, and is surrounded by olive groves, vineyards and forest trees: an ideal place for a restful and cultural holiday. The villa is entirely equipped with ecological, sustainable energy sources, as solar cells for electricity and geothermic system for heating and refreshment of air.

The separate "Fitness House" with hydromassage, sauna, equipment for gym and bar, is located half way between "La Leopoldina" and "Villa Il Forte". Its use will be exclusive for the first clients who will reserve it for an extra cost. The orientation of the common areas of the two villas (pools, dining rooms, barbecue ...) ensures complete autonomy and intimacy to each of the two residential areas.

Great
Our stay at il Forte was fantastic! My family spent a week at the villa in November and we could not have been happier about choosing it. The building was beautiful and felt like we had modern luxuries while stepping back in time to a historical fortress. All of the arrangements with InTuscany were so easy from booking through checking out. They communicated with us in every step of our planning, and made arrangements to meet all of our requests. We had a cooking class in the villa and a private dinner during our stay. The dinner prepared by Luda was one of our favorite meals of the entire trip! Not only was the food outstanding, but she was incredible to watch prepare and serve a dinner for 11 people completely on her own! If we are ever in Tuscany with a large group again, we would love to return here for another stay. One note for those traveling from the US: the washer and dryer were wonderful to have, but they are much smaller and take more time than we are accustomed to at home. Just a thought to plan accordingly when staying with a large group!
