This is one of the two large apartments of an historical demeure in Northern Chianti Classico, ten miles south of Florence (the other being is used by the elderly owner). Privacy is total since the two halves have large separate gardens. The house is ideal for those who want the taste of a 19th century big Tuscan residence with original and delicate furniture. Downstairs it has two big living rooms, a very large dining room and a typical Tuscan kitchen with an original fireplace. Upstairs it has the four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Guests can also use the original patio and old frantoio (oil mill), one of best preserved in the area. The villa, besides its park, has a small but scenic pool overlooking the Florence Plain from the top of the hill and is within walking reach from the nearest town.
