About the property.
The property has been in the current owners' family for over 50 years and comprises a main villa and a guesthouse (located right next to the main villa), with a total of 9 bedrooms and 8.5 bathrooms. Most of the interiors have recently undergone extensive renovations, including a newly updated kitchen, brand-new bathrooms, fresh upholstery, and refurbished bedrooms. The meticulous attention to detail throughout the renovation process—from the careful selection of high-quality materials to the exquisitely chosen furniture and artwork—has created a truly unique environment that seamlessly blends with the villa’s original architecture.

The property is surrounded by 20 hectares (49 acres) of meticulously maintained vineyards and olive groves. The garden features a charming terracotta terrace adorned with herbs and fruit trees, offering breathtaking views over the vineyards. Several shaded areas, including a wisteria-covered pergola for “al fresco” dining, provide the perfect spots to relax during the warm summer days. Additionally, the property boasts an oversized private heated pool for guests to enjoy.

Spreading over a surface of more than 8,500 square feet, with 9 wonderfully decorated bedrooms (all air conditioned), the villa offers the ultimate accommodation for your dream luxury holiday in Tuscany!
