Description
Set in the Chianti hills between Florence and Siena on a bewitching 80-acre wooded estate, this Villa is a tranquil haven and every food lover’s paradise. The expansive grounds are complete with a private infinity swimming pool, hot tub, and a wealth of alfresco living areas. The villa itself boasts spacious interiors and air-conditioned bedrooms .
The interiors at the Villa have been refurbished with great empathy for tradition; wood-beamed ceilings, antique terracotta floors and exposed stone blend harmoniously with modern furnishings and fittings. One double ensuite bedroom is situated on the ground floor, while the remaining six bedrooms can be found on the first floor. There are a further two double ensuite bedrooms on the first floor as well as two family suites. The family suites consist of one double bedroom with a twin bedroom and a shared bathroom.
The ground floor is perfect for family living, centred around a bright and spacious open-plan living area which combines the kitchen, dining and living room. The easy flow between the dining area and kitchen, which features a large central island, is well-equipped for sociable dinners.
Glass doors open up from the living room on to the spacious outdoor dining and BBQ area, which is shaded by a classic pergola. Along with two adjacent alfresco seating areas, the dining terrace is where you will savour views of the surrounding hillsides, vineyards and woodland. Spend evenings on the outdoor sofas enjoying a full-bodied glass of Chianti as the sunsets and afternoons with a good book. The gardens that wrap around the Villa are impeccably maintained, dotted with cypress trees and flowering Mediterranean plants. A gorgeous cypress-lined path leads down from the pergola to the sun-drenched pool terrace. The L-shaped infinity swimming pool, private hot tub, sun loungers and umbrellas overlook the countryside setting.
Adjacent to the villa is an outbuilding, a former barn, of approximately 120 square meters, in addition to a loggia of approximately 13 square meters, composed on the ground floor of a living area with kitchen, a bathroom and a utility room, on the upper floor of a bedroom with a mezzanine wardrobe overlooking the living area, a bedroom / study and a bathroom.
The property includes 28 ha of land, partly arable and partly wooded.
