About Villa Il Cerretino
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.
