Villa Il Cerretino in Poggio a Caiano, open June–September.
Villa Il Cerretino stands apart in Tuscany for its dual-purpose design: a functioning residence with dedicated event spaces that can host up to 150 guests under weatherproof cover.
Located in Poggio a Caiano between Florence and Pisa, the villa offers on-site accommodation for 14 guests across six ensuite bedrooms, eliminating the logistical complexity of coordinating separate hotels.
Its flexible layout, civil ceremony licensing, and transparent all-inclusive pricing make it a rare combination of operational simplicity and Italian villa authenticity.
We loved our stay at the villa. Benedetta was so easy to communicate with and we really loved Loredana. She was so lovely and had so much character talking to us during our stay. The pool is absolutely beautiful and each room was spacious, clean and had AC. The villa is huge!! We wish we could have booked for more nights. Next time we will definitely be booking for longer. It is the perfect family vacation place. Beautiful views surrounding the villa which is situated high up on a hill too. Thank you for hosting us!!
