At the borders of Chianti and not far from Florence, this 53.9-ha estate houses an Agriturismo with 35 apartments (85 beds) split among three beautiful historic buildings. A chapel and a restaurant offer the perfect location for weddings and events. An ample olive grove (roughly 5,300 trees) allows producing roughly 4.5 tons of extra-virgin olive oil per year. In 2014, the farm was awarded the organic certification and all the activities are carried out respecting nature.
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS
The property is made by several buildings. The residential/hospitality portion offers a total of 85 beds split among 35 independent units, all located inside three finely restored and modernized buildings granting optimal comforts to the guests.
The manorial villa (1,604 m² – 17,259 ft², 24 bedrooms and 23 bathrooms), dating back to the 18th century, houses seventeen guest apartments, the reception, a TV room and two ample cellars in the basement where olive oil is stored (77 m² – 828 ft²). The building has been carefully restored maintaining its rustic look but equipping it with modern comforts needed for guests’ accommodation: all the apartments have kitchen and private bathroom and boasts typical exposed beams and floors tiled in Florentine terracotta.
Right next to the villa is located the restaurant (168 m² – 1,807 ft², 3 bathrooms), capable of accommodating up to 60 guests. The room is also used for tasting sessions and educational activities.
Farmhouse N°1 (297 m² – 3,196 ft², 10 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms) houses the owners’ residence and six guest apartments with private bathroom and kitchen corner. This building has been restored as well, keeping its rustic look unaltered.
Last building for the guests, Farmhouse N°2 (466 m² – 5,014 ft², 17 bedrooms and 18 bathrooms) houses twelve apartments, each finely restored and fitted with private bathroom and kitchen, cooking corner.

Tuscany - Florence Province - Florence
Tuscany, one of Italy's most iconic and breathtaking regions, embodies the essence of Italian beauty, culture, and tradition. Nestled between the ApennineMountains and the Tyrrhenian Sea, its landscape is a mesmerizing blend of rolling hills, cypress-lined roads, sprawling vineyards, olive groves, and medieval villages perched on hilltops. The region’s natural beauty is matched by its rich history, artistic heritage, and world-renowned culinary and wine traditions.
Wine enthusiasts from around the globe flock to Tuscany for its legendary wine production. The region is the birthplace of some of the most revered wines in the world, such as Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Chianti, produced in the heart of Tuscany, is arguably the most famous, with its distinctive ruby-red color and bold flavors, while Brunello, made exclusively from Sangiovese grapes, is one of Italy’s most prestigious wines, aging gracefully for decades. Wine routes, like the Strada del Vino in the Chianti region, allow visitors to tour centuries-old wineries, sample wines, and explore charming villages along the way.
Tuscany is also a haven for lovers of art and history. Florence, the region’s capital, is a cultural mecca, often referred to as the cradle of the Renaissance. Its galleries and museums, such as the Uffizi and Accademia, house masterpieces from artists like Michelangelo, Botticelli, and Leonardo da Vinci. The iconic Florence Cathedral, with its massive dome designed by Brunelleschi, dominates the skyline, while the Ponte Vecchio, a medieval bridge lined with jewelry shops, is one of the city’s most beloved landmarks.
Siena, another jewel of Tuscany, offers a different charm with its medieval architecture and rich traditions. The Piazza del Campo, known for the Palio, a centuries-old horse race held twice a year, is considered one of the most beautiful squares in Italy. Siena’s Gothic cathedral, with its intricate black and white striped marble, is a stunning testament to medieval craftsmanship.
Further west, Pisa is home to the iconic Leaning Tower, but it also offers much more with its rich maritime history and the grandeur of the Piazza dei Miracoli. Lucca, known for its preserved Renaissance-era city walls, invites visitors to explore its quiet streets, where churches and piazzas surprise at every turn. San Gimignano, a medieval town famous for its many towers, gives visitors a glimpse of Tuscany’s feudal past and offers sweeping views over the surrounding countryside.
Tuscany’s landscapes are also dotted with thermal springs, such as the natural hot springs of Saturnia, providing a relaxing retreat after days of exploring. The coastline, too, with the Maremma region and the island of Elba, offers picturesque beaches and pristine waters, a contrast to the inland hills and vineyards.
EXTERIORS
Right in front of the villa, recent works allowed to recover and valorize the beautiful historic garden, crossed by graveled walkways and decorated with well-maintained ornamental trees and flowers. Conveniently placed bench offer pleasant relax areas.
Not far from the villa is located a 20 × 10 m swimming pool with whirlwind tub and paved solarium (450 m²), a multipurpose court (tennis, futsal, volleyball) and an amusement park for the little ones.
The estate covers in its entirety a surface of 53.9 hectares (133.2 acres). The majority of the land is covered in mixed woodland (19.3 ha), coppice woodland (10.9 ha) and a chestnut grove (2.5 ha). Right through these woods, thanks a recently-recovered network of paths (roughly 20 km), one can easily enjoy pleasant strolls, hikes and biking deep in the nature.
The olive grove (18.5 ha) is without a doubt the most interesting part of the estate ad with its 5,300 trees (Frantoio, Leccino and Moraiolo) allows producing up to 4,500 liters of Colline di Firenze IGP extra-virgin olive oil per year.
The remaining surface is covered in gardens (roughly 1.1 ha counting the surfaces covered by the buildings and their courtyards) and arable land (1.6 ha) dotted by vegetable gardens and fruit trees. Bees in the estate also produce excellent honey: next to the common polifloral honey, they also produce Acacia honey and Chestnut honey.
Cultivations in the estate are carried out with rigorously organic methods (certification was awarded in 2014) and even for energy the property runs with renewable sources whenever possible. A photovoltaic system (80 panels producing up to 19 kW of power) provides 80% of the electric energy needs, while a biomass boiler (35 kW) is fed with firewood cut in the estate and is housed in a purpose-built shed.
