Located on a hilltop in Florentine Chianti, this elegant, aristocratic home has glorious vistas over the surrounding hills, covered with vineyards and olive groves. It sits within a renowned wine estate producing excellent quality wines, which you can taste in the medieval cellar situated in the basement. The villa has a manicured lawn with a lovely swimming pool, a tennis court and a five-a-side football pitch to keep everyone entertained. Get some shade under the centuries-old pines and cedars of Lebanon, or pick some lemons and herbs for a G&T. Inside, a grand staircase in pietra serena, a grey sandstone used extensively in Renaissance Florence, makes a stunning feature. Classical sculptures, opulent chandeliers and interesting artworks adorn the living spaces. After creating a Tuscan feast in the kitchen, entertain your guests at the piano. We adore the countryside views that stretch towards the centre of Florence and the towering dome of Brunelleschi from the two turrets, connected by a panoramic roof terrace. This home is just a four-minute drive from Impruneta, a town renowned for its terracotta products and excellent red wine. Or head to historic Florence, where you'll find art masterpieces and beautiful renaissance architecture. For golf lovers, the Golf Club...
