Villa Pitiana  

Perched 430 m above sea level in Reggello, this 13th‑century monastery-turned-hotel sits between the olive groves of Valdarno and the ancient Vallombrosa forest. About 30 minutes from Florence and 40 minutes from Siena, it’s close to Abbazia di Vallombrosa, Castello di Volognano and The Mall outlet — easy access to Florence sights like Piazzale Michelangelo and the Duomo. Family-friendly and pet-friendly in a peaceful, rural Tuscan setting.

Stone cloisters and spacious halls meet modern comforts across 65 recently renovated, individually furnished rooms. Rooms feature air conditioning, flat-screen/LCD TVs, minibars, desks, safes and private bathrooms (bathtub or shower with bidet). Stroll the extensive park with rare plants, wake up to olive‑grove views and feel history around every arch.

Dive into an outdoor swimming pool, lounge on the rooftop terrace or wander the garden and terraces. On-site perks include a massage room, yoga area, table tennis, a bowling club, library, picnic and BBQ spots, a bar/lounge and a café. Free self-parking and complimentary Wi‑Fi are available; airport and area shuttles run for a surcharge.

Two meeting rooms and a business center make this spot suitable for meetings and conventions, with striking cloisters and halls for events. Complimentary Wi‑Fi, 24-hour front desk, multilingual staff, concierge and luggage storage support corporate needs; roundtrip airport shuttle available for a surcharge.

The on-site restaurant serves Tuscan/Italian cuisine with vegetarian, dairy-free and vegan options on request. Sip drinks at the bar or grab coffee in the café; buffet breakfast is offered daily (fee). The hotel also runs cooking classes with wine tastings and stages business lunches and gala dinners, with limited room service hours.
