Conveniently located in San Filippo a Ponzano, a rural village on a hill in Chianti, from here you'll be within easy reach of Florence (a forty-five-minute drive away) and Siena (a thirty-minute drive away). Prepare to be blown away by the never-ending landscapes amidst fields of oak woods, vineyards, and olive groves upon arrival. Breathe in the fresh Mediterranean air as you spend your days making the most of the lavender fragranced garden. From the sun loungers by the swimming pool or over at the alfresco patio dining area shaded by the trees – you'll find plenty of places to enjoy a spot of relaxation surrounded by this heavenly setting. Inside the villa, the sparkling interiors unveil a charming space that invites guests to immerse themselves in an authentic Italian experience. Think antique furniture jewels, parquet flooring alongside terracotta floor tiles – each room is polished and accessorised to perfection. We particularly love the traditional yet homely feel presented in the bedrooms – many of which open out onto the second-floor balcony via huge French windows. The classic style bedrooms are complemented by the modern en-suite bathrooms, which ensure both comfort and practicality. A home that has preserved the very... best of its traditional Italian roots, the admirable renovation work contrasts its traditional beauty with contemporary home comforts – required to ensure the space is in keeping with the current modern lifestyle and needs of its guests.
