The décor is classically Tuscan, which is also characteristic to the whole estate: the use of terracotta, stone, wrought iron and wood ideally matches with the warm natural tones, turning the villa into a chic country house. During the restoration, an ancient oven dating back to the 1500s and used for making bread was surprisingly found. This villa is the ultimate vacation home for family and friends and may be rented in its entirety to offer full privacy to its guests.

Towards the end of the 13th century, an aristocratic Italian family from Florence built a chic villa for the summer holidays in the Tuscan countryside. This 9-hectare estate is situated only a 15-minute drive from the centre of Florence, surrounded by an oasis of greenery and peacefulness and bordered by the banks of the Arno river.
In this superb position, you can find this refined 5-star villa, ideal for weekly vacation rentals in the heart of Tuscany, in the famous Chianti wine region, granting absolute privacy to its guests. On the same estate, there is a chic hotel, a member of The Leading Hotels of The World.
The guests of the villa can take advantage of the hotel services: the elegant restaurant with a romantic terrace overlooking the Arno river; bistrot, which faces the pool area and occupies a former barn charmingly restored to provide relaxed Tuscan dining; bar decorated with nineteenth-century frescoes; the hotel’s wine cellar, where you can have tastings and private events, in cozy rooms dating back to the 15 century; the spa, a fantastic place to regenerate physically and mentally, equipped with a Turkish bath, a sauna, a Roman Tub with whirlpool, sensory showers, cabins for different kind of treatments and massages. The garden includes a heated outdoor swimming pool, as well as a gym with yoga area and a tennis court, which are available to guests of the villa and the hotel.
To practice sports between a visit to the city center and other entertainment, this property spoils you with choices: gym, jogging, tennis, riding stables and the popular golf club Ugolino, situated on a 10-kilometer distance from the villa.
