Nestled among the gentle hills of Chianti Classico, Villa Ripertoli stands out even in this breathtaking part of Tuscany. Its exceptional views, stretching across the rolling countryside, are truly unique.
The nearest visible property is nearly a kilometer away, offering an unparalleled sense of seclusion and privacy.
Unlike typical rental properties, Villa Ripertoli is a family home that is lovingly maintained by its owners, who spend at least 10 weeks a year here, including in the winter months.
It is equipped and furnished to the highest standards to meet their own needs, ensuring an exceptional level of comfort for guests.
For example, the Wi-Fi mesh network provides seamless connectivity throughout the property, making it ideal for modern needs such as Zoom or Teams calls, whether for work or staying connected with loved ones.
The villa’s three buildings make it especially practical for multi-generational or multi-family vacations, offering a range of flexible accommodation options.
For instance, adults can stay in the Main House while teenagers enjoy their own space in the Capanne, or different families can occupy each of the three buildings. Smaller groups can also opt to rent just the Main House at a reduced rate (outside high season).

- Normal capacity: 17 guests across 8 double bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, ensuring the highest level of comfort and privacy.
- Flexible capacity: By prior agreement, the villa can accommodate up to 20 guests with additional beds, divans for younger guests, or cots for babies (2 are available).

Unique Experiences for Your Stay
Villa Ripertoli is not just a place to stay but a true journey into the flavors and traditions of Tuscany.
Every guest has unlimited access to the estate’s own olive oil, a symbol of local quality and authenticity. At the end of their stay, each group receives a complimentary bottle of olive oil, adding a special touch to their time at Ripertoli.
The villa’s layout and its capacity to host up to 20 people make it ideal for celebrating special events, such as weddings, anniversaries, or family reunions. The spacious indoor and outdoor areas are perfect for hosting al fresco dinners, private parties, or simply relaxing by the pool.
Olive Oil Production at Villa Ripertoli
Olive oil production is a deep-rooted tradition at Villa Ripertoli, where the olive groves intertwine with the local culture and history.
After the devastating winter of 1985, which caused significant damage to the ancient olive trees, many trees regrew with new trunks around the dead ones, transforming the landscape.
Since 2005, great efforts have been made to restore the ancient olive groves, planting over 300 new trees that now join the existing ones for a total of around 600, half of which are in full production.
The olive harvest, which takes place in November, is a crucial time that depends on often unpredictable weather conditions. Despite challenges such as pest attacks or extreme temperatures, the dedication to quality ensures an exceptional olive oil. The olives are taken to the mill for a filtration process that preserves their fresh flavor, and the oil is stored in special containers to maintain its integrity.
Every year, friends and family gather to help with the harvest, contributing with enthusiasm and enjoying fresh oil and a festive atmosphere in return.
The result? An olive oil that many consider the best in the world, born from dedication, tradition, and passion.
