How to get there

  • Pisa is the most convenient airport, with frequent Ryanair flights from Stansted,  BA from Gatwick or Heathrow, and EasyJet flights from Gatwick and Luton. The drive to Ripertoli takes an hour.
  • Florence airport is 40 minutes away, but can only accept smaller planes so has fewer flights. Vueling flies Luton – Florence.
  • Bologna airport is about 80 minutes from Ripertoli, and is served by BA and Ryanair. Well worth considering.
  • Rome and Milan are both a 3-hour drive from Ripertoli and are well served by intercontinental flights.
  • The nearest train station is Florence, with excellent connections to Rome and Milan. There is a frequent bus service to Greve from Florence station – duration 1 hour.
  • We occasionally drive all the way to Ripertoli from the UK; it’s almost exactly 1000 miles from London, 98% motorway. It’s a very easy drive through France (Calais – Rheims – Dijon – Geneva) and the Mont Blanc tunnel; we have even done it in a single day without too much stress.

Nearby

  • Greve-in-Chianti, the most attractive of the Chianti towns, with a delightful colonnaded piazza, plenty of good shops for food and wine, several banks, cash dispensers, restaurants, dry-cleaners, and a Coop. There is a market in the piazza every Saturday morning. Greve is 10 minutes away by car, almost entirely downhill.
  • Panzano is also 10 minutes away. It’s smaller than Greve but also charming, with several good wine shops, the famous butcher Dario Cecchini, and a Sunday morning market which is invaluable for guests arriving on Saturday.
  • San Casciano is a 15 minutes drive, worth it for its large Coop if you need a large family shop.
  • Florence is 40 minutes away. We recommend parking at the Garage Ponte Vecchio (directions are in the House Book) – expensive but convenient & they take care of the congestion charge for you.
  • Siena is 45 minutes away by motorway, or an hour on the lovely SS 222 “Via Chiantigiana”, which passes through Greve and Panzano and close to Castellina-in-Chianti, Radda, and Gaiole.
  • San Gimignano and Volterra are about an hour away, by country roads through lovely scenery.
  • Arezzo, Montalcino, Montepulciano, Pienza, Monterchi and San Sepolcro are all 60 – 90 minutes drive away and are well worth a visit.

Our words can\'t really do justice to Ripertoli. It is unimaginably lovely and special. The entire week was a joyful and wonderful experience for us. It really was the holiday of a lifetime in what we can only describe as a Paradise.

Dinners outside were a treat each night, with Marisa\'s local dishes. This is an excellent vacation villa for a multi generational family vacation.

Despite us being natives of Florence, Ripertoli was a marvellous discovery which guaranteed days of complete relaxation

The view is stunning. We were actually reluctant to leave on our pre-planned visits to Rome and Venice and delighted to come home to the tranquillity of the loggia.

Everything about Ripertoli is welcoming and relaxing. It is everything you would expect a Tuscan villa to be and more

The perfect vacation home for the week. The photos of Ripertoli are great but they can’t do the property justice

A perfect vacation of a lifetime. 3 generations – 17 in all and everything worked at Ripertoli.
Marie V, Aesch, Switzerland, April 2014
From the moment we drove in Ripertoli exceeded our expectations. A wonderful secluded location with beautiful vistas. Rustic charm with all the modern conveniences. A home and not your typical rental property.
Josephine Gray, Hertfordshire UK, April 2017
No write up, review or photograph could have prepared us or do justice to the beauty and tranquillity of Ripertoli - we all absolutely loved it!
Ripertoli was perfect and served our mixed group of family / friends reunion from USA, Australia, and UK far better than any of us could ever have imagined”
Roger & Lesley, Berkshire UK, June/July 2017
We had a delightful 2 weeks with family (3 generations) and friends at Ripertoli to celebrate our significant birthdays. The views from the terrace are to die for – it is a really special place.
Susan Jane & Nick Sutton, Wyoming, June 2017
To put it all into one word – the trip was simply “perfect” in every way. We loved Ripertoli, we loved that is retains its ancient feel and the property is simply wonderful.
