Map & location


Artimino, Tuscany, Italy

Tenuta di Artimino sits in the tiny hamlet of Artimino, one of Tuscany’s most tranquil corners. Dating back centuries, this petite hilltop village is a dream for history fans, with cobbled lanes, traditional stone houses and wide-open views of the surrounding vineyards and green hills.

Despite the peaceful setting, you’re well placed for road trips: Florence is around 34km away for world-class art and architecture, while the Chianti wine region, San Gimignano, Lucca, Volterra and Siena are all within comfortable day-trip distance by car. Artimino itself offers a modest choice of restaurants and essentials, so most guests embrace the estate as a restful base for exploring wider Tuscany.

  • Artimino village & nearest shops, bars and restaurants 600m
  • Florence city centre 34km
  • Chianti wine region 45km
  • Montecatini Terme 45km

Pool & outdoors

You’ll find:

– Spacious main pool (freshwater), typically open from late March to the end of October
– Sunbathing area with sunbeds
– Free pool towels
– Inflatables and water toys permitted (ideal if you’re travelling with children)

Children are welcome and inflatables and water toys are allowed in the pool, but there are no kids’ clubs or waterparks.
