Villa Il Fedino San Casciano Val di Pesa

The aristocratic elegance of a finely restored period residence and the extraordinary landscapes of Chianti make Villa Fedino, in the countryside just outside the pretty little town of San Casciano Val di Pesa, the perfect Tuscan retreat.

Set in beautiful grounds, Villa Il Fedino dates back to the 14th century, when the noble Fedini family decided to build a sumptuous retreat in the heart of the Tuscan countryside and yet only minutes away from the city of Florence. Since its construction, a number of aristocratic families have resided in what for many years was known as Palazzo Fedini. The poet Gabriele D'Annunzio stayed in the villa on numerous occasions.

After centuries as a private residence, Villa Il Fedino has recently opened its doors to travelers in search of atmospheres of times past, of a place in which to spend a unique and quite unforgettable vacation. Characterized by splendid coffered or star and barrel vaulted ceilings and romantic open fireplaces, Villa Il Fedino's 5 suites have conserved all their period charm. Magnificent four poster beds, precious floor coverings, and a beautiful collection of antiques feature in the Villa's wonderfully spacious rooms.

In the mornings, guests awake to a generous breakfast of sweet and savory specialties, all prepared in the villa's ancient kitchen. Those choosing to dine in Villa Il Fedino's historic restaurant can expect to enjoy the finest Tuscan cuisine, choosing from an enticing selection of typical local dishes served in the dining room or, in the summer months, on the terrace in the garden. On request, lunch and dinner are served directly in guests' rooms.

When they are not off exploring Florence or the hilltop towns of Chianti, guests might easily be found relaxing by Villa Il Fedino's attractive swimming pool, from where sweeping views over the Tuscan countryside can be seen. The villa's fragrant gardens have a number of secluded area's in which to enjoy a relaxing massage, performed by qualified massage therapists (service available on request). To the delight of spa goers, Villa Il Fedino lies within easy reach of one of Tuscany's most highly acclaimed wellness centers.
