Owners and their guests gain membership in the luxurious Villa Residents’ Club, or V.R.C., situated in the villa’s ornate and beautifully revitalised reception rooms.

In summer, Villa Capponi residents can enjoy a unique al fresco dining experience showcasing the best local produce – including ingredients sourced from the villa’s own vineyards, orchards and gardens.

Villa Capponi’s extensive grounds – including the formal Italian and English gardens – are reserved exclusively for residents, year-round. Accompany your evening soiree with music from the state-of-the-art speaker system discretely installed under the rose beds.

The villa estate includes several hectares of agricultural land, including age-old vineyards and rugged olive groves. The estate’s own olive oil and wine will be available for residents to enjoy throughout the year.

The enjoyment of wine is inseparable from the Tuscan lifestyle. Each owner has a dedicated wine storage compartment in the villa’s original wine cellar – which may be reserved for entertaining and private dinners or wine tastings.

When cooking at home, pick herbs and seasonal vegetables from the Villa Capponi kitchen garden, tended on behalf of owners by the villa staff.

Cycle or run on the private trails that wind throughout the 10-hectare estate. Mountain and road bicycles are available for use by owners and guests. Specially designed platforms in the gardens promote yoga, meditation and stargazing.

Villa Capponi has two elegant outdoor swimming pools – a modern, heated pool and a more traditional grotto for bathing and wading. Plus a Jacuzzi spa tub, which is hidden away in an evocative corner of the olive grove.

Work out in the on-site gym, stocked with advanced fitness equipment from the Italian company TechnoGym. Then reward yourself with time spent in the steam room or sauna – with the option of a bucket shower afterwards, to promote toning and firming.

Children can get back to nature in a stimulating, specially designed play area set within the enchantment of the olive grove.

Secure underground parking offers this vital modern convenience without detracting from the historical character of Villa Capponi. Each apartment also has a dedicated storage facility.

A property concierge will be on hand to ensure that everything is in order at the villa and to suggest not-to-be-missed lifestyle experiences in Florence and beyond.

Rest easy, whether you are in residence at the villa or away, thanks to advanced security systems at the main gate and throughout the villa compound.
