A tuscan home five centuries in the making
A Tuscan home, five centuries in the making. Rooted in nature, preserved with care, and surrounded by timeless olive groves and lemon trees, Villa Sermolli stands as a testament to craftsmanship and continuity. It holds an ancient Chapel that was once the heart of the town and a place of refuge for all, still radiating love, tranquility, and timeless blessings. Within these sacred walls, devotion once met artistry, and the spirit of community intertwined with grace. Every stone, fresco, and cypress still whispers of an era when life moved slowly, and time was measured not by haste, but by heritage.
For centuries, this has been the luxurious Tuscan home of the aristocratic Count Sermolli family. The villa holds stories of every season, lovingly tended by the same family for generations. Hospitality is at the heart of the villa, and for centuries we’ve hosted grand soirées and gatherings of Florentine high society – a home where music, laughter, and elegance filled the air. Today, that legacy continues with you and it remains a soulful retreat: intimate, authentic, and deeply personal. Guests are welcomed not as visitors, but as part of the home itself, your Italian home away from home, embraced with warmth, comfort, and the quiet rhythm of Italian slow living.
In a 500-year-old hilltop town overlooking sunlit Tuscan hills, Villa Sermolli invites you to experience the essence of a romantic Italian getaway. Its baroque gardens are a living tapestry of jasmine blossoms and lemon vines, while its ancient wine cellar, where stone walls cradle vintages steeped in Tuscan sun, tells stories of passion and celebration. A true boutique escape for couples, groups or solo travelers where beauty lingers in every detail and love feels eternal.
Once the house of lemons — its limonaia still fragrant with sun and history — the villa embodies La Dolce Vita: the art of slow living. A home once filled with music and artistry, it still carries the soul of over 400 Florentine manuscripts from the Venturi Collection and echoes of grand gatherings once hosted within its frescoed walls. Antique terracotta floors, hand-painted ceramics, and timeless design now blend heritage with modern comfort — a celebration of light, laughter, and the beauty of living well in Tuscany.
