- Swimming pool with wonderful views of Florence and Tuscan countryside
- Located only 14 miles from Florence in the small hamlet of Artimino
Only 14 miles west of Florence, Artimino is a tiny unspoilt hamlet that possesses a timeless quality. During the 16th century the Medici family built a country villa in this rich wine-producing area and the Tenuta di Artimino, now a fine hotel, was originally the page-boys' quarters. The Tenuta di Artimino hotel is a listed building that has retained many original features after its conversion and has been finished with traditional and luxurious décor.
From the spacious lawned gardens and swimming pool (normally in use May to October), wonderful views of Florence and the surrounding countryside can be enjoyed, while the well-known restaurant, located in a separate building in the grounds, is popular with locals and guests alike. For the more active, tennis courts are available and mountain bikes are provided free of charge.
The hotel has 37 rooms (official rating 4 star). Child prices apply to ages 2-12 years.

About the location
Clustered on a small hilltop, Artimino is a charming medieval walled village less than 15 miles from Florence.
The village has Etruscan roots dating as far back as the 4th century BC, and was once an important location thanks to its prime setting and commanding views. Most of the settlement now dates from the 17th and 18th centuries and is remarkably well preserved, offering a glimpse into what life was once like.
Today, the village offers guests a handful of attractions, including the Municipal Archaeological Museum, which showcases important finds within the local area, plus a smattering of restaurants serving flavourful Tuscan fare. The nearby Villa La Fernandino is the village’s main attraction and is one of Tuscany’s finest Ducal homes. Completed in 1600, it was built in traditional Medici style reminiscent of the palazzos of Florence, and is adorned with glorious frescoes.
The city of Florence can be reached in around 40 minutes. Packed with some of Italy’s most recognisable attractions and sights, we highly recommend spending a day here.

We stayed in this hotel for one night in August and we found it truly beautiful. The views on the Tuscan hills are stunning and the hotel itself is wonderful. We were given a spacious room, very comfortable and with a nice additional bed for our daughter. A big no-no was that slippers and complimentary water were not provided in the room.
Anyway breakfast was tasty and with many homemade products, the pool was a bit cold but had a nice shallow area for kids to play. Overall the stay was very pleasant.

We slept 2 nights in this hotel.
The standard is quite low for a 4 star hotel. No service in the pool area. The spa is in the village not in the hotel. And the main building cannot ne accessed nor visited. Impossible is the leitmotiv in this hotel. We were given a very tiny room (I couldn???t even put my luggage on the floor and had to put it in the wardrobe), apparently the smallest in the hotel. We were told twice (I confirmed again in the evening) we could be moved to a bigger one when we arrived. But on the day of the move after packing we were told again it was impossible. I don???t recommend this place.

Spent two days in one of the apartments. Everything was beautiful, well kept and in good taste. Breakfast was modest and sad (worse coffee ever, plain white bread only, no prosciutto, no cheese but ricotta, no cake, terrible industrial jam), but New Year???s eve dinner was downright offensive. We paid 140 euros and left everything. Totally ruined our time here.

Had an amazing stay here in October. Pleasant staff, beautiful location, great wine and good value. The spa is great and the ladies there are lovely we had some great treatments. There are 3 restaurants in Artimino that all serve the local wine that were fantastic. We also had a wine tasting at the hotel in a bubble overlooking the countryside which is a must if you stay here. We will be back!
