We cannot adequately express the joy of staying at this beautifully kept estate. It was the Tuscan country experience we were hoping for. We are so very glad we made time to spend at the house on some days. If we had scheduled each day we would have missed the peace and daily discoveries that came.Margherita was a thoughtful and gracious host. Loved hearing about her families legacy while we enjoyed a beautiful dinner prepared with food from their garden. Make sure you make time for that experience!We were sad to leave but hope to be back!

Magnificent!

This is such a lovely property that I enjoyed with my family for a special birthday celebration. Our host Margherita is as beautiful as the property is magnificent. She was so gracious and helpful. We so enjoyed taking a cooking class with her and her mother Veronica, who learned traditional Tuscan cooking from her grandmother. They also made a delicious dinner for us one evening. The rooms are beautifully appointed in neutral shades and very comfortable. We highly recommend this fabulous place!

We had the most amazing experience. The home has such a rich history, it is beautifully decorated with a sophisticated mix of art, antiques, and modern touches. The furnishings are very comfortable. And then when you step outside, you have the pleasure of exploring all that Tuscany has to offer; olive trees, vineyards, vegetable/herb garden, shrubs, topiary, pool, patio, and exquisite views of the local countryside.And to top it off, the owner/host is extremely kind and helpful. She called and texted us with directions, offered resources, and made the experience very special for my family.Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us!

We had a lovely time at LaQuerciaEstate. We were warmly greeted by Margaurite upon arrival, who showed us around the beautiful grounds and gave us a wonderful introduction to the property.The setting is absolutely breathtaking—peaceful, serene, and picture-perfect. I especially loved hearing the chickens in the morning and watching the stunning sunrise over the countryside.The interior of the estate is just as impressive. The home is gorgeous and filled with history, yet cozy and equipped with every amenity you could need. My favorite spaces were the master bedroom, the kitchen, and the living room—they felt both elegant and welcoming. The outdoor seating areas were also a highlight, perfect for relaxing and taking in the beauty of the surroundings.Our time in Tuscany was the perfect way to end our first trip to Italy. It truly made our journey unforgettable. We will definitely be back—and next time for a much longer stay!Book it now—you won’t be disappointed!Colleen & Sean

Picturesque Tuscan villa

We loved this property! It’s the Tuscan experience we were looking for. Margarita is a wonderful host who is respectful of your privacy but has another separate home on the land, so is helpful if needed. The house is incredible! It was built in the 1600’s but has been completely updated. The views are dreamy with all the olive trees and vineyards. Would love to come back and stay for a longer period of time when the weather is a little warmer! I would take Margarita up on their stocking of grocery service. Thanks for our incredible Tuscan experience!

La Quercia a Wonderful Place to Stay

Our May 2025 stay was perfect! La Quercia is in great shape, everything works and looks great. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with tons of plants. If you're a gardener, you'll appreciate the work that went into it. Veronica and Margherita are wonderful hosts, they live on-site in a separate house—a huge plus if you need anything. Don't miss Veronica's the cooking class, it's awesome, and get Margherita to pre-shop for you—it was perfect. Margherita's great at arranging transport and tours from the villa; use her service, it makes things so much easier. One thing: in May, temps swing from 70F to 50F at night, so bring layers. That Nespresso with fresh cream is a treat, perfect for the covered porch, watching the wildlife and enjoying the song birds.

La Quercia is absolutely stunning. The villa is homey and inviting, with lots of wonderful places to gather over a meal, a glass of wine, or morning coffee -with the outdoor spaces even more beautiful than the rooms inside. The gardens are immaculate and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Margherita was incredibly patient and kind, working with me for months prior to our visit, to plan the trip of a lifetime for our group. She graciously coordinated our transportation, our bike tour of the countryside, as well as the most incredible classic Italian home cooked meal served in our villa. Veronica worked all afternoon creating the most unbelievable meal for us - it was absolutely delicious. The villa was perfectly intimate and private, but at the same time, we felt incredibly welcomed by our hosts, as though we were long lost relatives that they invited to stay. Our only feedback for improvement is 1) the beds are very firm. (I think it might be an Italian preference) and 2) the lighting could be better, especially in the bathrooms. Seriously, book it. You won’t be disappointed.

Absolutely beautiful old villa run by caring owners

If you ever want to stay in an Italian villa surrounded by gorgeous Tuscan hills, olive groves, and vineyards, near a classic small medieval Italian town -- complete with bustling cafes, great restaurants, and fresh bakeries -- this is the place for you! Owner Veronica is a generous, passionate, talented person, and manager and marketing head Margherita (Veronica's daughter) is very sharp, dependable, and caring -- she was very accessible and made many calls for us on our behalf to help is schedule events. We stayed in the villa during olive picking season and had a wonderful experience watching the Clementes do their first olive pressing of the fall. We took a wonderful cooking class from Veronica in their on-premise cooking studio (she's a trained chef, among other things). We spent many afternoons outside under the beautiful front veranda, eating local bread and cheese and enjoying the easy-drinking estate Chianti classico. The drive into magical Florence is an easy one from the villa, and many other fun towns -- Siena, Panzano, Montpulciano -- are within 60 minutes. The rooms are beautifully laid out, each with an en suite bathroom. The kitchen is highly functional and modern. (And no need for an alarm clock -- Salvatore, the Clemente's gentleman rooster, serves that purpose nicely!) For an idyllic vacation in Tuscany, away from the hustle and bustle of cities, Villa La Quercia is the place to stay.

Wonderful retreat in hills outside Florence

In La Quercia Estate we found a wonderful retreat for we and three different couples each of the 4 weeks we were there. We enjoyed not only the serene setting and very good accommodation but also excellent private chef meals prepared by the owner and her staff at our request as well as enjoyable cooking classes for those so interested. For those of our group preferring to cook meals, the kitchen proved well equipped with plenty of china and cutlery. Recently installed heating and air conditioning in the bedrooms proved very useful and a great addition. The estates main living and dining rooms easily accommodated the 8 people in our party and the outdoor sitting areas were frequently used until the weather turned cooler. Up to date wi-fi proved adequate and up to the challenge for all. As we had anticipated, the estate's location is central to most of Tuscany enabling day trips as far as Cinque Terre to the Northwest, Bologna, Florence of course, and Siena, San Gimignano, and Volterre to the South and Southwest. The town of Impruneta has good provisioning with a local small market, cafes and stores; however, a major supermarket is 20 minutes away by car. Transit from Impruneta to Florence is available by bus, however, it is recommended that one have an auto for transport.

A wonderful relaxing picturesque home for families

We had such a great week at La Quercia. The owner, Margherita, gave us a personal tour and made us feel right at home. We enjoyed every day; traveling to darling towns close by or just playing in the pool and eating dinner afterwards on the wonderful patio in front of the house. We had a special cooking class, given by the owner, that was so memorable. We are all trying to re-create the sage focaccia that we learned to make that day. What a treat! We had a trip of a life time!

Absolute perfection!

Our stay at La Quercia was absolutely amazing. Leading up to the trip, Margherita was extremely responsive and helpful in answering questions and ensuring we were prepared. Our stay was wonderful - the estate is in a great location near Impruneta and not too far from Florence and other Tuscan towns (we visited Florence, Lucca, Pisa, Cinque Terre, Siena, San Gimignano and also did a wine tasting experience). The view was so stunning and picturesque - photos don't even do it justice...it was exactly what we envisioned for our vacation! The villa is beautiful inside and out, and has an authentic feel. Throughout our stay, Margherita prepared some special touches and made us feel so welcome. The highlight of our entire trip was the dinner that Veronica and Margherita prepared for us - they were both so kind and hospitable, and the food and wine (from the on-site vineyards) was outstanding. We would love to return in the future, and cannot say enough positive things about this property!! -Tiffany and Family

Wonderful place for a family vacation; wonderful hosts.

This is a beautiful estate in a quiet location near the small town of Impruneta in Tuscany. Margherita and Veronica are such sweet and helpful hosts, and the villa is appointed with their personal touches that give it warmth and make if feel very welcoming. The weather during our stay in late May was a little rainy and cool, but we had a wonderful stay nonetheless. This villa is located in such a way that you can take great day trips to places like Volterra, Siena, Florence, and Chianti.

Et fantastisk sted!

Vi var en familie på 8 personer som har bodd en uke i Villa La Quercia. Et fantastisk hus i nydelige omgivelser. Huset inneholdt alt hva man skulle ønske seg, flott innredet. Vertskapet bidro til at oppholdet ble ekstra bra, alltid behjelpelig ved behov og la til rette for at vi skulle ha det så bra som mulig. Matlagingskurset med Veronica var et av høydepunktene i løpet av uka. Hun var så engasjert og villig til å dele av sin kunnskap om italiensk matlaging. En dag med vinsmaking hos Frescobaldi er også et av de gode minnene vi sitter igjen med. Tusen takk for oss! Vi kommer gjerne tilbake. Anbefaler så absolutt bostedet for andre som ønsker å oppleve det gode liv i Toscana.

Beautiful Tuscan home in the country

We spent Christmas 2017 at La Quercia with our adult children. It is just a beautiful home with fabulous Tuscan character. We had not been to Impruneta before, and we just loved the town. The house is perfectly situated for visiting everything in Tuscany. Margherita, the host, arranged a wine tasting for us at Frescobaldi that was an amazing experience. She also made great restaurant suggestions, and the many meals we had at the Bella Vista restaurant in Impruneta became one of the most awesome parts of our vacation. The house is beautifully appointed, and when we arrived it had been decorated for Christmas. It was truly outstanding, as was our host. We would absolutely recommend La Quercia to anyone looking to visit Tuscany.

Fabulous Place!

We loved our two-week stay at La Quercia--one week with family, a second with friends. Comfortable house with wonderful pool, grounds, places to sit outside. Convenient by car or bus to Florence, plus Impruneta is a nice town with all the basic amenities. The owners live on site adjacent the villa, but ensure your privacy and are happy to provide recommendations. The house is beautifully maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed Veronica's cooking class and market tour, several delicious dinners she prepared, one with butler service. They also arranged a very fun wine tour for us. We highly recommend it!

Beautiful, special home in Chianti

Our group of 3 couples, 1 single person thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Quercia and wished we didn't have to leave! I echo all the other reviewer's comments: Margherita/Veronica were wonderful hosts- prompt in their responses, thorough in their orientation and overall really lovely to work with. The grounds are also exceptionally stunning; we regretted even thinking we could pull ourselves away from the villa for day trips! As others have noted, the electricity was VERY expensive (a little over 200 EUR for our 5 nights which included a 66 EUR credit card transaction fee), but we were prepared for it thanks to previous comments and just bit the bullet. I would strongly recommend you avoid renting any low-to-the-ground car with regards to the hills, bumps and various other driving pitfalls that can occur in Chianti/Tuscany. We were VERY grateful we rented crossover SUVs for the driveway alone! There is ample parking onsite for multiple cars if your group requires it. The local Coop grocery store is quite close and easy to get to as the villa isn't stocked with anything but the barest of essentials; there are also a few small markets in the town center + a small Saturday morning market at the clocktower as well. We really enjoyed cooking in and eating at the house, and encourage you to consider the same. The house is about 20 minutes to the Florence airport, and easily accessible to any of the famous Chianti/Tuscan towns. We can't wait to be back at La Quercia, and will be as soon as we possibly can!
