About this property

MAGNIFICENT 9BR VILLA WITH AMAZING POOL & VIEWS, RIGHT IN THE HEART OF GREVE!

*** Wedding conditions: listed at the bottom of this page ***

Villa Benedetta is a beautiful historic residence that has been the beating heart of the Folonari family (a renowned name in the Italian wine panorama) for many years. Dating back to the early 1800s, the villa is located at the center of the family’s agricultural holding, that is currently producing internationally known wines.

After an extensive renovation of the villa in 2014, the owners have decided to convert it into a vacation home considering its overall wonderful characteristics, elegance and charm. The spectacular Tuscan surroundings are perfect for excursions either on foot, by bike or by horseback riding.

The park of the villa is immaculately kept and features furnished shaded areas dedicated to relaxing while enjoying the view on the stunning Tuscan landscape or al fresco dining (there is a new barbecue and a covered gazebo that sits up to 20 people).
The private swimming pool (size 40 x 16 feet) comes with a changing area, full bathroom with shower and a dedicated wi-fi internet connection.

The villa guests are always welcome to visit the cellars and taste the wine produced within the estates of the Folonari family.

The villa is beautiful and elegant - superbly equipped and furnished for a perfect holiday.
We all greatly enjoyed our stay at the Villa. Masses of space for everyone of all ages . The rooms are elegant, stylish and extremely comfortable. Wonderful to have air con in the lovely bedrooms, and also many different rooms to sit in. The villa is in a magical setting with lovely views. The garden and pool are beautiful (and well maintained daily) - lots of shade (and sun loungers) round the pool. Lovely to be able to sit and eat on the terrace (in sun or shade), and a superbly equipped kitchen easy to cater for many people. It felt like being in a large private hotel, with excellent daily care from the lovely Housekeeper.

Breathtaking, historical, and convenient
While the pictures are impressive, the in-person experience of all the common spaces and bedrooms are even more impressive. This is a great, great deal of space! We had a delightful family celebration for more than a week and cooked several multi-course feasts for 14 and found the kitchen well equipped. Throughout the visit, the property manager ensured the Villa was well-maintained and clean. Thank you for the wonderful visit.

Majestic home in Chianti
Beautiful property -- better than the pictures. Perfectly situated, and close to all that Chianti has to offer. Extremely large and comfortable rooms for all to spread out. Patio a wonderful place to have dinner, watch the sunset and drink local wines. Communication was excellent. Recommend a car to get back from town (up a steep hill) and to explore the regions. Highly recommend.
