Tucked away in a secluded hillside to the southeast of Florence, Il Soglio is everything you might have dreamed about when planning the perfect Tuscan escape: space aplenty, a warm, welcoming ambience, terracotta floors, wood-beamed ceilings, an inspiring country kitchen, and a pair of shady terraces with tranquil views over the surrounding olive groves and valley below. And then, hidden away in the grounds, is a stylish pool.

The interior and exterior spaces at Il Soglio were fabulous. Everything was perfect. We loved the house for sure and the views were amazing. In summary, an amazing house with amazing vistas! We would return.

We loved everything at Il Soglio, from the beauty of the villa to its surrounds but even more important was the absolute attention provided by the owner of the villa and your team at The Thinking Traveller! We loved our time there and would return.

Il Soglio is a beautiful villa in a unique location. We had a unique experience, and loved the cooking class in the villa.
MW June 2025
The setting and amenities at Il Soglio were most enjoyable. We have treasured memories of the scenery and our good times at the patio. Wine and pasta does it every time. The kitchen is well equipped, there's plenty of outdoor seating, neatly kept grounds, and excellent vistas.

Il Soglio is a very cozy, spacious farmhouse villa. The caretaker and cleaner were super friendly and helpful. Spectacular views of the Tuscan landscape. Very calm and peaceful surroundings and a nice restaurant a few hundred metres away. A Tuscan dream.

The Area
Surrounded by tranquil, verdant hills, and yet just 10km (as the crow flies) away from Florence, Il Soglio is ideal for anyone wishing to relax in seclusion while still being irresistibly close to one of Italy's most iconic and fascinating cities.
The capital of Tuscany, with its world-famous architecture, its artistic treasures, and its vibrant restaurant and café life is a 30-minute drive away, but it may be easier, in terms of parking and navigation, to head over to Scandicci (a 10-minute drive) and then hop on one of the frequent trams into the centre, which take about 20 minutes.
In terms of beaches, the coastline around Marina di Pisa (1 hour approx.) is home to long, quiet stretches of sand, vibrant resorts and interesting towns, including Viareggio and Livorno.
Drives of about 1 hour to the west and southwest will take you to some of Tuscany's other gorgeous cities and towns, including Pisa, Lucca and Siena.
Some 30-to-45 minutes south of Siena, meanwhile, is the Val d'Orcia, whose villages and towns - Montalcino, Pienza, Bagno Vignoni and Montepulciano, to name but a few - are renowned for their wonderfully preserved mediaeval centres, their wines and cheeses, and the scenic landscapes that surround them.
