If you are in need of a larger home, this villa, that from the 15th to the 19th century, was added onto by the Acciaioli family, has 58 bedrooms, and 87 baths! Now, that can accommodate the whole gang, and then some. It's in Cerbaia, Florence, Tuscany Italy. The price is available upon application to buy. And, it has some great murals.

You get gorgeous Baroque sculpture and a painting just like the Sistine Chapel.

What a lovely, sunny room that opens to a terrace.

Didn't I tell you that it had great murals? Look at the gaiety of this one with minstrels, clowns, etc.

Beautiful dining room. This place isn't creepy, it gets lots of natural light.

Every day dining room steps up to a nice family room.

It has 5 reception rooms. I like this casual one with the fireplace and loft.

This is a more formal one. It's big, light and bright with a beautifully painted ceiling.

Like how the rooms have different looks. This is a more rustic Tuscany style.

With 58 bedrooms it needs a dining space to accommodate a crowd. Wish they showed a photo of the fireplace- it looks fabulous.

Look at the mural in this bedroom, plus the ceiling over the bed. Gorgeous sitting area with a sleep alcove.

The bedrooms are very large. They do use a lot of beige in here, though.

Which to choose? Different styles of bedrooms.

Of course it has its own chapel.

Has some cool courtyards and balconies and things.

Got to have a tower, too.

I wonder if they have cell phone service b/c no one would ever find you in this home.

And, a beautiful pool.

Amazing grounds.

Anybody handy with a hedge trimmer?

No matter where you look, there's a beautiful view of Tuscany.

This is gorgeous.

View of some of the rooftops.

And, one of several terraces. There's 27.18 acres of property.

[hometoursandotherstuff]

OMG, the coolest, awesome, magnificent, probably haunted, home converted from a 1522 convent in Pitigliano, Italy, in Tuscany, has the witchiest fireplace just in time for Halloween. 10bds, 8ba, $5,177,453.

How many skeletons are down in this rusty old well?

The entrance hall. Look at the ancient walls, now whitewashed.

Is this not the consummate witches fireplace? The living room is gorgeous with its tile floor and curved wall.

Amazing. The kitchen looks like ancient catacombs. Look at the old vats that they must've stomped on grapes in and the old wine barrels on display. How cool is that? The nuns must've had purple feet for sure.

A cozy sitting area with fireplace outside the kitchen. This home is gorgeous - the ancient walls!

This looks like a pantry.

Lovely reading room. Look at the niche in the wall. You can't see much of the ceiling, but it looks brick and vaulted.

Great bath with the antique tub resting on stones.

Elegant bedroom. Look at the flower pattern in the floor tile and the way they made the closet in the corner.

This large bedroom has a heat hearth.

This bath looks like an elegant French style.

Beautiful smaller bedroom. Notice the ancient doors.

Cheery yellow-striped bedroom.

This long hallway has a brick heat stove.

Like a fairy tale.

The lush green grounds are stunning.

I wonder what behind the gate. Maybe a chapel or wine cellar?

This place is so dreamy.

Ancient walls. This area looks like the perfect spot for a garden.

But, that's not all. Look at this beautiful pool.

Stunning property on a 26 acre lot.

From Tuscany to Piedmont: Italy's Premier Wine Tour Destinations

It’s true that a sip of good wine can transport you to another place, but nothing quite beats the experience of a wine tour in Italy. The names Tuscany and Piedmont resonate as two legendary locales that quicken the pulse of wine lovers worldwide. If you’re an enthusiast of the vine, these two regions should be at the top of your list.

Tuscany

Tuscany's long history with wine is rooted deep into the times of the Etruscans. It's a place famed for its wine variety, with Sangiovese grapes taking the lead role on this stage. But that’s not the whole cast — there’s Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano too, each bringing its own flavor to the table. The uniqueness of these wines comes from the blend of Tuscany’s climate, soil, and a touch of magic from the environment.

You can explore Tuscany's wine world deeply by joining our Italian wine tours. We’ll walk you through every step that brings wine to life - from picking grapes under the Tuscan sun to the magic that happens inside the barrels. It’s about touching, seeing, and understanding what makes each wine so special. Plus, you'll hear stories of vineyards and get a sneak peek into the art of winemaking which makes every sip afterwards a bit more meaningful.

Piedmont

Piedmont is in the northwest corner of Italy, a place where life seems to revolve around good food, better wine, and the pursuit of the simplest pleasures. This region sets the bar high with its top-tier wines like Barolo and Barbaresco. But Piedmont isn't just about what's in your glass. The place also has small-town charm and the taste of the land itself, from truffles that are worth their weight in gold to the humble hazelnut. Here, every vineyard visit and meal is an opportunity to celebrate the rich tapestry of flavors that make this area a haven for anyone who loves wine.

Piedmont & Tuscany wine tour in Italy

Our 9 Nights/10 Days adventure kicks off in the Monferrato, then continues to Alba, Langhe, and Florence before stopping at Chianti, Montalcino, and Montepulciano. These locations are renowned for their exceptional wine tours in Italy. For the best Italian wine tours, please reach out to us at (855) 539 0045.
