This infamous 14th century estate is nestled in the sensational rolling hills of Florence, among farms, forests, vineyards and ancient hamlets. The calm, tranquil surroundings make it hard to believe that the beautiful Florence city centre, once the heart of the Italian Renaissance movement, is just 2km away!
Indeed, while you will feel totally at one with the natural world, enveloped in luscious forests and hills – museums, galleries, palaces and churches which hold some of the greatest artistic treasures on earth, as well as fine wine and dining experiences and designer shopping (a dream for any fashionista!), are almost within walking distance, or just a short drive away!
While the villa is perfectly located to visit Florence, Siena, another fine art city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is just a little further afield, making it ideal for a day trip! Nearby activities include hot air ballooning, helicopter charters, scooter tours, golf, hiking, biking, paintball, horse-riding and so much more. The location is also great for a wine tasting, as a world-famous wine and olive oil producing region, celebrated by Verdi, Michelangelo (who once stayed at the property!) and many others.
For more outdoor pursuits, head to the Pratomagno mountain range or the 300-acre Natural Park near Reggello, both perfect for enjoying a little physical activity and the fresh air and tranquillity of nature.
