Villa Bibbiani is more than a destination; it’s your private gateway to the heart of Italy. While our historic estate offers a world of its own, our central location—nestled between Florence and Pisa—makes us the perfect epicenter for unforgettable adventures.

From the Renaissance art of Florence to the roaring engines of Italy's "Motor Valley," your perfect day trip is just a short journey away. We have curated the ultimate "Top 10" list of destinations, all easily accessible by car, along with simple train alternatives for a carefree journey.

At Villa Bibbiani, your stay is an immersive journey. The estate is not simply a base for exploration; it is a destination in itself.

We have curated a world of exclusive experiences, from truffle hunting in our private 300-hectare forest to mastering Italian cuisine with our private chef. When you are ready to explore further, the very heart of Tuscany—Vinci, Florence, Pisa—is just a short, scenic drive away.

Here is a guide to the experiences that await you.

You do not need to leave our gates to find the soul of Tuscany. These experiences are designed by our team, exclusively for our guests.

A Taste of the Estate: Culinary & Wine Experiences

• Private Truffle Hunting: Join our expert tartufaio and his dogs on a thrilling hunt through our expansive private forest, searching for the elusive and prized Tuscan truffle. Afterward, our chef can prepare your discovery.
• Tuscan Cooking Class: Master the art of la cucina italiana. This is a hands-on class led by our private chef in the Villa's gourmet kitchen. Using ingredients sourced from our estate, you will learn the secrets of fresh pasta, classic sauces, and regional specialties.
• Private Wine Tour & Viniculture Class: This is more than a tasting. Walk our 40-hectare vineyard with our oenologist to understand our unique terroir. Then, descend into the private cellar to learn the art of winemaking, followed by a curated tasting of the Villa Bibbiani labels.

The Tuscan Adventure: Curated Exploration

• Vespa & E-Bike Tours: Explore the rolling hills of Chianti in true Italian style. We can arrange for a classic Vespa or a modern E-bike to be delivered to the Villa for a guided or solo tour through the vineyards and olive groves that surround our estate.
• Hot Air Balloon Experience: Witness the magic of Tuscany from above. At dawn, a private hot air balloon will lift off from our grounds, offering a breathtaking, silent perspective of Florence’s Duomo in the distance and the iconic landscape bathed in morning light.
