The property is a restored ancient farmhouse that has occupied its serene position deep in the countryside between Florence and Siena for many hundreds of years. Sitting within a vast estate dotted with vineyards, olive groves and a working farm, the villa is a restful escape that offers stunning views over the Tuscan hills. The interior of The property is as characterful and atmospheric as its historic exterior would suggest. Covering three floors is a series of inviting rooms that have been tastefully finished to reflect the heritage of the villa. Pieces of antique furniture and paintings with a rural theme complement the whitewashed walls, wood beams and terracotta floors to perfection. Five elegant bedrooms sleep up to 10 people, with one bedroom featuring twin beds and each having its own bathroom. This makes The property ideal for a larger family group or two families.

About Florence West
Machiavelli, da Vinci, Botticelli, Michaelangelo, Galileo - it’s hard to concisely capture Florence’s monumental impact on the arts, science and philosophy, but a swift run-through of some of the main names active in the Republic during the Renaissance era gives you an idea of just how influential it really was.
