In the countryside at the feet of Florence lies this charming villa, part of a grand, old estate dating back to the 16th century. The property is located between Florence and Siena (40 minutes’ drive) and at a short distance from many nice villages and towns of the Chianti area, such as Gaiole , Castellina, Radda in Chianti, Colle Val d’Elsa e San Gimignano.
Entering through a long, Cyprus tree-lined avenue the attention of the visitor is immediately caught by the gorgeous facade with its authentic clock. The entire atmosphere of the house is enriched by elegance and historic significance. Large enchanting frescoes line the halls of the main banquet room and dining salas. Rooms are brightened by splendid chandeliers. The ceilings are sculpted and painted in the tradition of elegance. Floors, doors and moldings are original.
The principle villa is on 3 floors, and joins in the shape of a square to form an inner courtyard, open to the sky. Behind the villa is a large formal garden, enclosed by ancient medieval stone walls. Beyond the walls are 10 hectares of fields, woods, olive trees and Chianti vineyards.
In addition to the principle villa, there is an adjoining farmhouse (currently used as a showroom for antiques), other farm buildings, and a consecrated church in which weddings at the villa are regularly held. The magical and timeless grandeur of the Villa makes this property a rare and precious find.
The property is sold furnished, including the whole, prestigious antiques.
