A private villa rental in Pistoia, Tuscany for families and reunions — 7 bedrooms, private pool, the whole house exclusively yours. Up to 16 guests, 30 minutes from Florence.
My father built this house. We have celebrated Christmases here, summers that went on too long, birthdays that turned into three-day affairs. When your family takes the whole villa, that history comes with it. You feel it in the thickness of the walls, in the garden Sara has tended for years, in the way the evenings slow down without asking permission.
Seven bedrooms. Up to sixteen guests. Entirely yours. Whether you are celebrating a milestone, a reunion, or simply the rare chance of being all together — this is the place for it.
The pool."Some families haven't all been in the same place for years. Grandparents, children, cousins — everyone scattered. A week at Il Podere changes that. Nobody checks their phone. The children run freely. The grandparents sit in the shade and watch. And dinner outside goes on until someone finally says — we should sleep. Those are the weeks that become the ones everyone talks about forever."
At Il Podere, you stop being guests the moment you arrive. The kitchen is yours. The garden is yours. The pool is yours from morning to evening, every day, without sharing it with anyone. This is what it means to truly live in Tuscany for a week — not visit it.
The whole house is yours. No other guests, no shared spaces, no strangers.
Seven bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom and air conditioning. No sharing, no compromises. Everyone sleeps well and wakes up in their own space.
Surrounded by the garden Sara's family has cared for for years. Not shared with anyone. Yours from the first morning to the last evening. The place where nothing needs to happen.
A real kitchen — not a kitchenette. Make breakfast together. Pack a picnic. Let the children help. In Italy, the kitchen is where the family happens. This one is entirely yours.
The long table under the pergola, shaded by a vine that has been growing there for decades. Dinner outside every evening. This is the table where family conversations actually happen.
Pistoia is one of Tuscany's most beautiful cities — authentic, quiet, far from tourist crowds. Located 30 minutes from Florence, it gives your family easy access to everything while feeling like a genuine Tuscan home.
