About this villa rental
Imagine stepping into a historic residence from the 1600s, once the home of the Podestà. Crossing the threshold of Locanda del Podestà means taking a true journey back in time. Established in the 17th century as a prestigious manor on the historic Via Volterrana—a route used since Etruscan times to connect Fiesole to Volterra—this house tells centuries of history through its thick stone walls, original frescoes, and exposed beam ceilings.
Here, luxury is not about ostentation, but authenticity and space. Today, Locanda del Podestà offers a genuine experience where the charm of the past blends with the freedom of expansive areas. Immerse yourself in the 17th-century atmosphere and discover 150 sqm of space, perfect for hosting 12 guests in the heart of Chianti. Here, warm summer days transform into moments of pure relaxation thanks to the natural microclimate created by the historic walls, which keep the rooms cool and rejuvenating.
The house ensures maximum privacy with its double entrances and two kitchens. Furthermore, it boasts a spectacular panoramic terrace overlooking the Tuscan hills and 4 private parking spaces within the property.
But the beating heart of the Locanda is its private garden, an oasis of peace where the scent of rosemary mingles with the wood from the barbecue and the relaxation of a plunge pool. Under the Tuscan sky, among the hills of Montespertoli, you will create unforgettable memories with al fresco dinners and glasses of local wine at sunset.
Just 30 minutes from Florence, Locanda del Podestà is the ideal retreat for large groups seeking history, comfort, and breathtaking sunsets.

This was a perfect location for our girls trip in Tuscany. Beautiful country views in a quiet setting. Very convient location to make day trips thru Tuscany but would definitely recommend you rent a car to do this. A parking spot wss provided so did not have to worry about finding and paying for a place to keep the rental car. The house was clean with lots of space and so nice to have so many bathrooms all with good water pressure. The kitchen had plenty of dishware and utensils and made life easy by having a dishwasher. Also, very helpful to have a wash machine and multiple drying racks. We were very happy to have a cafe and gelaterias within walking distance as well as a grocery store. The host was very responsive and easy to work with. One possible concern is if you had to be available for work, the WiFi was spotty especially at night. Overall, would highly recommend staying here!

Gorgeous property in a Tuscan hill-top village. The house is just incredible. Lovely and cool, due to all the ancient stone, but with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Fantastic showers - really powerful - and a much-needed plunge pool for when we needed relief from the heat. The location of the house is perfect. Supermarket and bars/restaurants/wine-tasting all within walking distance.

The villa and Montespertoli are so charming! The home is so lovely! The view from top level is unbelievable! The court yard a wonderful spot for a meal. Only tip is if traveling by bus on Sunday times are very limited! We ended up taking a train from Florence to Empoli to get a decent time into town. Though bus ticket purchases are very limited. Maybe purchase in Florence. Or spurge on a taxi! But, during week we went to Florence twice and had plenty of options to get to and from. You can buy tickets in Tabbachi! So many great restaurants and vineyard a short walk and delicious wine! Market was amazing! So much to love! So peaceful!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this house. There was plenty of space inside and outside for our group of six adults. Bruno was quick to respond to any questions we had. Montespertoli is a lovely town and a wonderful place to explore Tuscany.
