Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
It's easy to see why a writer once made this villa his home. Surrounded by miles of rolling hills and woodland (plus Chianti's best wineries), it's just the spot to escape everyday life into a world of your own. Yet Tuscan tradition is never far away, even in the striking blank-canvas interiors – original features have been preserved, and local materials like travertine limestone can be found in the kitchen and bathrooms. The best spot for views is the distinctive tower bedroom, and the many open terraces are the ideal place for convivial drinks and meals. Meanwhile, the gardens are bound to inspire you – grab a lounger next to the saltwater pool and bask in the rustic beauty.
