This charming property lies in a unique position which provides an impressive 360° view over the Chianti countryside and hills.
Dating back to the XIII century, it originally served as a watchtower, then went through several transformations over the centuries. First converted into a monastery, it later became the residence of famous Florentine noble families.
Access to the property is via a pictoresque tree-lined avenue, while the 2,8ha of private land that sorround it include the garden with the beautiful swimming pool, an olive grove that produces excellent oil and arable land. The Villa has undergone a careful conservative restoration that has preserved all the historical aspects and details. The entrance is through a magnificent courtyard that leads to the inside, where we find a spacious living room with fireplace, two kitchens and nine bedrooms. The peculiarity of this property lies in the respect and preservation of historical elements that create an authentic atmosphere that will transports you on a journey back in time. In addition to the main villa, the property includes a charming barn and a delightful outbuilding.
