About this villa rental
Ripertoli is a 1000-year-old farmhouse 20 km south of Florence, in its own secluded 40-acre-estate, with magnificent views of the Tuscan countryside. It sleeps up to 17 comfortably, in a main house and 2 close-by cottages. We only let the property as one unit to a single client at a time; the main house can be rented on its own, and either or both capanne can always be added on later if required. There are 8 double bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom, a lovely large pool with a heat pump for early and late season swimming and an electric cover for child safety, and over an acre of well-irrigated garden. The property is furnished and maintained to a very high standard, and is fully air-conditioned.
We have 600 olive trees, from which we harvest the olives and make our own extra virgin olive oil every October; all guests get a free unlimited supply while they are at Ripertoli.
We have over 30 5-star reviews from Ripertoli clients over the last 7 years - prior to that our guests wrote charming messages ion our traditional paper Visitors Book at the property - but we were new to VRBO in 2014 so all our earlier reviews are dated January 2015 in the section 'Guest Reviews'. We now focus on Google reviews as the recognised standard and have 20 5-star Google reviews, including 5 from 2025.
Marisa was our housekeeper for 30 years but has now been succeeded by her grand-daughter Licia who helped her granny for several years before taking over in 2025. There is a team of cleaning ladies who visit every Saturday, Licia's father Roberto maintains the lawns and pool, and Stefano, Graziano and Yuri look after the garden and the olive groves . An outstanding local cook is available if required.
The charming towns of Greve-in-Chianti and Panzano are both within a 10-minute drive. Greve has an excellent Coop which bakes the best bread for miles, and a lovely market every Saturday; Panzano has a smaller but equally fun market every Sunday morning, with marvellous hot roast chickens and Giacomo's superb cheese stall featuring several types of excellent Pecorino (sheep's cheese).
Ripertoli is a family home which we have improved and developed since acquiring it in 1988. We take great pleasure in ensuring that its comfort and facilities are at the highest level, and are rewarded by many of our guests coming either by personal recommendation or on a return visit. One English family has already booked its twelfth visit for July 2026.
We hope that this brief description has whetted your appetite, and that you would now like to visit our own website to read and see more details about this exceptional Tuscan home. We have a lot more information there than we can include in this VRBO entry.

Summary of reviewsGuests loved everything about the property, from the lovely pool to the stunning views of the countryside. Marisa's cooking and the warm atmosphere of the home were perfect.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2018
The property was exactly as pictured and described on the Ripertoli website. We loved everything about it. The pool was lovely and the outside tables in both the loggia and the terrace was where we spent the majority of our time. The owner and Marisa and family were there for us whenever we had a question. Marisa is a treasure as are all of those family members who take such good care of the property. The only suggestion would be to have directions on the laundry facilities in English as the washers and dryers are difficult to operate without. The view....Marisa's cooking....the home itself...everything was perfect. Nigel, you are a perfect gentleman and I enjoyed our email conversations. We will love to return some day. Susan and Ken

This is the most incredibly lovely place. The owners have gone to great trouble to make it a fabulous place for people to stay. And they couldn’t have done a better job. Stunning views of Tuscan countryside. Great pool. And the finest food wines and places to visit are old around. Can not recommend enough.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2016
This holiday was a birthday celebration with family members of all ages. The accommodation surpassed all our expectations - not only a family home with personal touches - but also having modern bathrooms and facilities.
The surroundings and views were typically unspoilt Tuscan scenery - all viewed from a wonderful terrace at the rear of the property.
The gardens, with tubs of geraniums, and the olive groves below, all contributed to the idyllic surroundings.
We spent most of our time by the swimming pool, beautifully kept clean - complete with loungers and loggia for shade.
Marisa, the Housekeeper, was a delight and provided us with typical Tuscan home cooked meals when needed.
I cannot find fault with any part of our holiday, only the fact that it was too short and we will certainly return again in the future.
I must also stress the importance of the excellent communication and help from Nigel Tully, whose in depth knowledge of the area, was invaluable.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2016
Ripertoli ticks every box you could ever imagine and is the perfect property for a large gathering. It is set in the most glorious and peaceful countryside, with immaculately tended grounds and large pool. The house has been sensitively restored and has such a welcoming and lived in feel about it. Marisa, the caretaker/cook is a treasure, as well as being a superb cook. Nothing appears to be too much trouble for Nigel. In short, book it now and preferably for a fortnight!
