An ultra-private sanctuary set on a 15,000-acre organic farm estate

Villa Colonica Tuori is a sophisticated six-bedroom retreat nestled within the expansive 15,000-acre Tenuta Schifanoia Estate in the heart of the Tuscan countryside. This traditional stone farmhouse just north of Florence has been reimagined as a fully staffed private sanctuary, combining authentic rural charm with the amenities of a five-star hotel.

The estate’s outdoor spaces are designed as a holistic retreat. A heated swimming pool is set into a fully fenced, manicured garden, ensuring total privacy and peace of mind for families. The wellness offering is exceptional: guests can train in the private gym equipped with the latest Technogym machinery, or find balance on the al fresco yoga deck, shaded by mature trees and offering sweeping views of the valley. For total rejuvenation, the villa also features a dedicated massage and beauty room, where guests can indulge in professional in-villa spa treatments. Modern convenience is seamlessly integrated, with two 22KW EV car chargers available for guests.

Multiple outdoor lounge and dining areas are scattered across the terraces and the central courtyard, providing versatile settings for al fresco meals prepared on the professional barbecue. The grounds also feature a fragrant organic vegetable garden and provide direct access to the estate’s wider farm and truffle-hunting grounds.

Inside, the villa showcases a stunning restoration that honours its heritage. The heart of the home features striking vaulted wooden ceilings and stone doorways, creating an atmosphere of grand, rustic elegance. The spacious living room, anchored by a large stone fireplace, flows into a billiards room for evening entertainment. A standout feature for connoisseurs is the private wine cellar, stocked with a curated selection of the estate’s own organic vintages alongside some of Tuscany’s most celebrated labels. Along with the professional-grade kitchen, the cellar sets the stage for memorable culinary experiences, from farm-to-table breakfasts to bespoke Tuscan feasts prepared by a private chef.

The villa accommodates 12 guests across six thoughtfully designed, air-conditioned bedrooms. On the first floor, there are five bedrooms finished with soft colour palettes and traditional furnishings, including a spacious master suite with elevated views over the estate. The four guest bedrooms offer a mix of en-suite and shared facilities, all finished to an exceptional standard. On the lower ground floor, there is a private guest suite with independent access and a private terrace offering lovely garden views, ideal for those seeking extra seclusion.

With its rare combination of historic architecture and high-end wellness amenities, Villa Colonica Tuori offers a refined and restorative experience on one of Tuscany’s most prestigious estates.

About the area

Villa Colonica Tuori is situated within the historic Tenuta Schifanoia Estate, a vast and verdant domain that stretches along the banks of the Anguidola River in the Mugello valley. Just 30 minutes north of Florence, this luxury villa offers guests the best of both worlds – countryside serenity and convenient city access.

Beyond the villa walls, guests have direct access to the estate’s 1,500 acres of organic farmland and truffle-hunting grounds. Everything from nature safaris to e-bike tours can be arranged, ensuring a deep immersion into the Tuscan lifestyle.

While the villa feels entirely rural and private, the cultural treasures of Florence are within easy reach, allowing for seamless day trips to the city’s world-class galleries and boutiques. The surrounding region is also famous for its culinary heritage, with nearby towns providing access to some of the best wine tasting and artisanal food producers in Tuscany, all while maintaining the peaceful, unhurried atmosphere of the Italian countryside.
