This 17th century Tuscan villa is brimming with old world charm. It has been expertly restored and renovated, while maintaining a magical ancient aura. Terracotta floors, bronze busts, wooden roof beams, original fireplaces and deep stone basins compound the villa’s traditional appeal, while outside there is a stunning 14 by 6 metre pool, and plenty of chill out zones and deck chairs so you can sunbathe and relax in comfort. There are seven bedrooms, each with their own distinct character. We love the emerald green tiled bathroom, and the classic Tuscan stripes. Downstairs there are three living rooms, as well as a cards table for a late night game of Poker. On warm summer evenings dinner can be eaten al fresco, or at the long banqueting table inside. The kitchen is fully modernised, and there is also an outdoor wood fired oven, so you can try your hand at pizza making. The villa is located in verdant countryside, about an eight minute drive from Bibbiena, a picturesque town with traditional stone churches, sprawling views of the Casentino valley, and traditional restaurants serving excellent Tuscan fare.
