Villa Vignola forms part of Santo Stefano, a 600 hectars Tuscan estate south east of Florence and close to the village of Montaione (6km). The estate consists of seven old Tuscan style individual villas and 12 apartments which have been carefully restored back to their former glory and style. Each property has all the comforts of modern living, including a private infinity swimming pool. All villas can be rented for longer or shorter holidays, for meetings, reunions, celebrations of special moments, such as weddings, and anniversaries. The apartments can be rented also for a quality weekend with family and friends in the unique Tuscan atmosphere.
Each property has a private fenced garden and an infinity pool, and is located some hundred meters away from each other.

Villa Vignola is a quaint old Tuscan farmhouse which has been completely restored to a very comfortable standard. Once a set of farmers cottages, each living quarter has now been totally converted into a charming country apartment. The position of Vignola is, as all our properties at Santo Stefano, highly panoramic, and enjoys an elevated hillside position. The view is 360° and takes in a panorama that stretches literally for miles, across the estate of Santo Stefano to the neighbouring towns and villages.
All apartments at Villa Vignola are decorated and furnished with their own individual colour schemes and all have excellent views. The villa can also be let to a group up to 22 persons. In this case, the annex is closed off to the guests. When the villa is rented for 23- 29 persons it includes the villa + the annex.
