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.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
There’s no beach here – this is true Tuscan countryside – but the large outdoor freshwater pool more than compensates, especially on hazy summer afternoons. Framed by lawns and countryside views, it’s a serene spot for a pre‑dinner dip or a lazy day with a book.
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)
Pool facilities and opening dates can vary with weather and hotel management.
