The Surrounding Areas of Villa Albereto
Gaville
Gaville is a hamlet of Figline e Incisa Valdarno, renowned for the Pieve di San Romolo, a Romanesque church from the 11th century featuring a soaring apse and carved capitals, mentioned by Dante in the
Divine Comedy due to an ancient feud. Next to the Pieve stands the Casa della Civiltà Contadina, a museum showcasing agricultural tools, a 1700s olive press, and recreated rural Valdarnese living spaces, making Gaville appealing for those interested in Tuscany's history, traditions, and countryside landscapes.
Ponte agli Stolli
Ponte agli Stolli, nearby, is a quaint vacation hamlet amid cypresses and farmhouses, developed around a medieval bridge over the Cesto stream and known since the Middle Ages as a passage between Valdarno and Chianti. The village retains remnants of the bridge, traces of ancient water mills, an 18th-century chapel, and a small waterfall accessible on foot, ideal for short historical and nature walks. Perfect for trekking and tastings, it offers stunning views over vineyards and castles like D'Arbola. The Abbazia di San Cassiano a Montescalari is easily reachable from here.
Figline Valdarno
Figline Valdarno is a medieval village in the Valdarno Fiorentino, part of the municipality of Figline e Incisa Valdarno. With Etruscan and Roman origins, it is the birthplace of humanist Marsilio Ficino and lies about 30 km from Florence. The historic center revolves around Piazza Marsilio Ficino, a large porticoed square lively with historic buildings, bars, and shops. Key sights include the Collegiata di Santa Maria (built in the 13th century, with precious artworks and the adjacent Museum of Sacred Art), the Logge Serristori with their elegant Italian-style courtyard and garden, medieval walls, the Cassero, and the Teatro Garibaldi. It serves as an ideal base for trekking in the surrounding countryside, walks toward Chianti with wine and oil tastings, bike tours in Valdarno, and visits to nearby pievi and hamlets.
Greve in Chianti
Greve in Chianti is a medieval village at the heart of Chianti Classico, known as the "gateway" to Tuscany's wine region, about 30 km from Florence. The historic center unfolds around the iconic Piazza Matteotti, triangular in shape and lined with porticos, which has served as a market square for wine, oil, and local produce since the 13th century, strategically located between Florence, Siena, and Valdarno. Main attractions include the Chiesa di Santa Croce with Renaissance artworks, Amerigo Vespucci's birthplace (now a museum), Castello di Montefioralle above the village, Pieve di San Cresci, and historic wineries like Antinori and Verrazzano. It is the perfect hub for food and wine tours with Chianti Riserva tastings, trekking and biking along the Chianti Road amid UNESCO vineyards, visits to nearby villages, and lively weekly markets.
Getting Around:
Due to the remote location you will need a personal vehicle to get to the home and around the countryside. There are no car sharing services available. We are located about 45 minutes away from the airport by car.
Other Things to Note:
A little about us:
With deep roots in Tuscany, Federico Cerelli has built his life around the winemaking art and soul of wine. He brings together three ventures under his name to offer something rare: wines made with craftmanship, consulting grounded in real-world expertise, and hospitality that opens doors few ever reach.
At Primaria Agricola in Radda in Chianti, Federico cultivates wines of depth and character, guided by a simple yet powerful philosophy: let nature lead, and allow the land to speak through the wine. As founder of FC The Wine Signature, he shares this expertise worldwide, consulting with major retailers and fine restaurants to craft bespoke private labels and source exceptional wines.
Tying the circle together, at Villa Albereto, his beautifully restored 15th-century hilltop estate, guests are invited to experience Tuscany as few ever can - through private tastings, exclusive vineyard tours, and personal connections to winemakers typically closed to the public.
Whether savoring a bottle crafted by his hand, commissioning a unique wine project, or staying in a historic villa with insider access, Federico offers an authentic expression of Tuscany where craftsmanship, connection, and place come together in harmony.
