OVERVIEW
Situated just west of Florence, the Florentine hills offer the best of both worlds — immediate access to one of the world's greatest cities, and the freedom of the open Tuscan countryside. Vineyards, olive groves, and medieval villages dot the landscape, their ancient churches and traditional architecture telling a story that stretches back centuries. Florence is just a short drive away, placing world-class museums, galleries, and landmarks — the Uffizi, the Duomo, the Ponte Vecchio — within effortless reach. To the south, the Chianti wine region unfolds, with acclaimed estates, tastings, and some of Italy's most scenic roads. Well connected by both road and public transport, the area also serves as an ideal base for the wider region: Siena, San Gimignano, and the Val d'Orcia are all within easy striking distance. Local markets, family-run restaurants, and walking trails complete the picture for those who want to experience Tuscany beyond the tourist trail. Here, Villa Leila offers a private luxury retreat at the heart of it all.

Famous for its art and architecture, Florence is an obligatory destination for the first-time visitor to Italy. However, while exploring the historical center is something that cannot be missed, the pristine, studded landscapes and the enchanted medieval villages set on the famous Tuscan rolling hills surrounding Florence are well worth a visit.
The most famous area to explore is the Chianti, a blessed land that covers a rather large wine-producing region of Tuscany, reaching from Florence to Siena, and all the way out to Pisa. Chianti's must-see sights are the wine villages of Castellina, Radda and Gaiole. Along the road, visit the Badia di Coltibuono and/or Castello di Brolio, and do not forget to pick up some wine to enjoy at the villa!
