    The restaurant was fantastic and very reasonably priced. Ask for dinner when you make a reservation. The setting was so peaceful and relaxing and the food - all local and homemade, was delicious. Very special!

Villa Rucellai is a very ancient structure, owned by the Rucellai family for many generations, that is the same family that runs the accommodation business. Every corner of the house is different and special and no room is the same. Even the guest rooms are all very different and, as we cannot put all the photos, we have shared only a few. We want our guests to know that it is not sure that the photo will match the room they book, but we are certain that each room will give our guests a real ‘Canneto Experience’.
