Italy Holiday Villa 4859

Once a distinguished old Tuscan farmhouse, This beautiful villa has been completely restored to its original splendor.  A winding, tree-lined, private country road leads to the property with its own gated grounds and gardens.

 

The villa offers the utmost in refinement, elegance and comfort.  Its highly spacious interiors offer total comfort as an ideal location for family reunions and group gatherings.  The villa is decorated in a refined Tuscan country style, with a select number of restored antique pieces.  You will marvel at the exposed beam ceilings, old Tuscan terracotta floors, specially aged parquet flooring in all bedrooms and the grès and terracotta tiled bathrooms with marble and antique wood fittings.

More than 25 guests can easily be accommodated in the magnificent double-dining area, featuring a beautiful, heavy antique main table.  The large, highly functional and pretty country kitchen is fully equipped for your forays into Tuscan cuisine.  The villa offers 10 elegant and comfortable bedrooms, including 7 queen bedrooms and 3 twin bedrooms, all with en suite or private bathrooms.

 

The villa boasts magnificent panoramic views, with the neighboring hill towns of Montaione, Gambassi and Castelfiorentino visible on the horizon.  The spectacular private pool is strategically placed to enjoy superb exposure from sunrise to sunset.  Overlooking the pool and leading directly down to the poolside sun terrace is a beautiful loggia with veranda, featuring sumptuous, teak, colonial style furniture, open Tuscan brickwork and terracotta tiles.  Adjacent to the loggia is a very large open barbecue and grill with roasting spit, large stone washbasin and work area.  The beautifully landscaped garden features extensive Mediterranean shrub and herbaceous borders, rose and lavender gardens, pine and cypress trees, an olive grove and a large flat lawn area, which is an ideal play area for children.
