Villa Rucellai di Canneto Sketch









Karen's Review Of This Property:
Villa Rucellai di Canneto

From the moment you enter the grand foyer looking out over the classical Italian garden of this 16th-century country villa, all sense of time and place is lost. The Rucellai-Piqués' devotion to their estate (in the family since 1759) is apparent, as is their warm hospitality. Guests are given the run of the rambling old home, from the cozy bedrooms, varying in size and decor; antique-filled library; and spacious living room with fireplace, old comfortable sofas, and family portraits to a gracious buffet breakfast room where guests are seated at long tables. At the entrance is a duck pond, a large shady area with tables and a 15th-century swimming pool. Villa Rucellai serves as an excellent base for visiting Florence, Siena, Lucca, and Pisa. The nearby town with its many restaurant choices is conveniently just a 15–20 minute walk away.

I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT A FABULOUS TIME WE HAD AT THE VILLA RUCELLAI IN PRATO, ITALY. THE PEOPLE, ACCOMODATIONS, DISTANCE FROM HIGHWAY, AND HARVEST EXPERIENCE WERE THE BEST ANYONE COULD DREAM OF. THE VILLA ITSELF IS MAGNIFICENT, AND THE BREAKFAST TO DIE FOR. NO ONE BREATHING DOWN YOUR BACK, SO YOU FEEL THE PLACE IS YOURS.....YET THE HELP, AND TRAVEL ADVICE IS THERE WHEN YOU REQUEST IT. WE RECOMMEND IT HIGHLY.
