Montevarchi

This rustic villa is set on the hills between Chianti and Valdarno, not far from Montevarchi and Florence. The house (300 m² – 3,228 ft², 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms) is laid over four floors in total. In the basement is a convenient garage and the technical room for the building systems. The ground floor opens onto the entrance hall with a fireplace, which is connected to a large living room that in turn leads to the kitchen and dining room. From the entrance hall one then has access to the first bedroom with private bathroom.

The internal staircase then leads up to a mezzanine living room, lit by three large windows. Continuing along the staircase, one reaches the first floor: the hallway leads to two bedrooms with shared bathroom and to the large living room with fireplace. This large room, with direct access from outside, has a kitchen with dining area and is connected to the last bedroom with bathroom.

The building has been renovated in Tuscan style, maintaining the original stone walls, wooden beams and terracotta floors. The building is also equipped with a traditional ventilation system. The building is serviced by a heat pump. To ensure the safety of guests, the property also has an alarm and video-surveillance system.

The garden around the farmhouse is entirely fenced in and enclosed by two gates at each end: here you will find, in addition to greenery and a convenient gravel parking area, a 14 × 7 m swimming pool with a terracotta sunbathing area and a view of the vineyards.

On the hills between Chianti and Valdarno, not far from Montevarchi and Gaiole, a 17th-century period villa with botanical park. The property (over 1,200 m²) was recently renovated by the current owner and is in excellent condition: the original finishes have been preserved and enhanced and the buildings now house various flats for a total of 11 bedrooms. The botanical park of 29,400 m² (of considerable historical and naturalistic importance) surrounding the villa is the perfect setting for events and exhibitions.

Basic services can be found in the nearby mediaeval village (900m; 2'), while for other necessities it is sufficient to reach Montevarchi (9km; 15'). From here, the A1 motorway reaches Florence in less than an hour. Florence international airport is also about an hour's drive away.
