description

In the heart of the rolling Chianti hills, just a few kilometres from Arezzo, stands one of Tuscany’s most charming historic residences: a prestigious 16th-century villa, set amidst a landscape of rare beauty where history, nature and elegance coexist in perfect harmony.

The property, meticulously restored whilst fully respecting its original features, covers approximately 1,290square metres and comprises the main villa, an old farmhouse and a charming detached annexe. Every room retains the authentic charm of the period thanks to original materials, frescoes, decorated ceilings, terracotta floors and antique stone fireplaces, skilfully enhanced by a restoration of the highest standard. The entrance to the main villa leads into a magnificent frescoed foyer bathed in natural light, the true heart of the residence and the link between the elegant rooms on the ground floor and the garden. From here, one enters an imposing dining room adorned with a rare 16th-century stone fireplace and splendid decorated ceilings. On the opposite side lies the cosy living area, comprising a refined sitting room with a fireplace and an intimate lounge dedicated to relaxation. The kitchen, in perfect Tuscan style, retains its charming brick vaults and historic terracotta floors and is connected, via an elegant archway, to a second, more intimate and convivial dining room. The villa’s sleeping quarters are spread over two levels. The first floor houses five elegant double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and a refined study with an antique bookcase, ideal as a reading room or workspace. On the second floor are a further four bedrooms with private bathrooms and a splendid master suite with a private sitting room, an exclusive bathroom and direct access to a panoramic loggia overlooking the Tuscan countryside.

The old granary has been converted into a delightful independent annex comprising a living room with a kitchenette, a double bedroom and a bathroom, perfect for guests or domestic staff.

Separate from the main villa, the historic farmhouse is a perfect example of Tuscan rural architecture, characterised by exposed stone, wooden beams and terracotta floors. On the main floor there is a kitchen and a spacious dining room with a fireplace, directly connected to the living room and the garden, whilst the lower level houses three bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. A striking stone staircase leads to the upper floor, where there is a further apartment with the potential to be self-contained, comprising a bright living area with a large fireplace and kitchen, five bedrooms, two bathrooms and a spacious bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and private terrace.

Outside, the property is surrounded by 8,880 square metres of immaculately maintained grounds, offering magnificent panoramic views over the Tuscan hills, and by approximately 7,980 square metres of agricultural land divided between arable land and pasture. At the centre of the grounds stands a monumental fountain depicting Venus with a child, an elegant feature that welcomes guests on arrival. The grounds also feature a refined Italian-style garden, fully enclosed and illuminated, embellished with rose gardens, ornamental statues and historic fountains.

Two large, illuminated swimming pools, both complete with jacuzzis, showers and spacious sunbathing areas, further enhance the estate: one is situated in front of the main villa and the other in front of the farmhouse, ensuring maximum privacy and comfort.

Opposite the villa stands a charming private chapel, dating from the same period as the house, finely restored and adorned with original frescoes – a feature of the utmost prestige that makes the estate perfect for weddings, ceremonies and private events.

The property is completed by elegant stables capable of accommodating up to four horses and a convenient car park.

A unique residence where over five centuries of history blend with contemporary comfort, creating one of Tuscany’s most exclusive country estates. A property designed for those who wish to experience an authentic piece of historical heritage or invest in a prestigious, world-class hospitality venue.
