Property for exclusive use
The villa is situated in the hills that ascend from the city of Florence towards Chianti. It is part of a large historic estate belonging to an aristocratic Florentine family. The countryside all around is a succession of woods, olive groves and vineyards, dotted with farmhouses and the bell-towers of little parish churches. Soaring above all are the lofty cypresses that are the symbol of Tuscany. This is a perfect choice of holiday for sophisticated groups who love Tuscany and everything that this region represents in culture and history. The nearby Via Chiantigiana offers a perfect route, panoramic in some stretches, for reaching the most famous places in Chianti such as Greve, San Polo and Panzano or nearby Siena. From Panzano onwards the road follows the crests of the hills, offering a succession of unique vistas. Visitors are simply spoilt for choice as to where to stop to take photos to recall an unforgettable holiday. Florence is just 20 minutes’ drive away, but it is also possible to use the public transport available just a few kilometres from the property which will save you the trouble of looking for a parking place in the city. For golf lovers, the superb course of the Ugolino golf club is very close. The large garden has two fully equipped pergolas where guests can relax or dine in the open air. On a lower terrace there is the infinity-edge swimming pool (12x8 m, 1.50 m deep)(01/05-15/10) with next to it the pool-house with shower and fridge for drinks.
