This splendid luxury relais built in the 18th century in Leopoldino style was built as part of a main project by the Grand Duke Leopold of Tuscany to populate and improve agriculture in Valdichiana, one of the richest agricultural areas in Italy at the time.
The property initially consisted of four buildings, one of which has been destroyed over the years. Today the residence consists of the magnificent main villa 400 (200 square meters per floor), an outbuilding and an annex (tobacconist 150 square meters), for a total internal area of ​​800 square meters with possible extension of a further 200 square meters. all surrounded by 3.5 hectares of land with an enchanting private garden, a perfectly equipped swimming pool and one hectare of olive grove.The main villa is spread over three levels, has a rectangular plan with a brick facade and a splendid staircase with a loggia, from which it is possible to access the first floor.The ground floor is currently used as a restaurant, with a large and bright dining room, which seats up to 40 customers and has an outdoor terrace with seating for many more.
