Location The villa stands at an altitude of about 230 meters on a hill near Greve in Chianti (Florence), in the Chianti Classico area. Chianti is the name of a wide region between Florence and Siena, in the heart of Tuscany. In origin, the Chianti area was identified only with the territories of Gaiole, Radda and Castellina, which constituted the "Lega del Chianti". In 1932, the Chianti area was completely re-drawn and Greve in Chianti and other municipalities in the province of Florence were included in the Chianti Classico sub-area. Renowned for the famous homonymous wine, Chianti is also a region rich in ancient castles, churches and medieval villages scattered among the vineyards and olive groves that cover its gentle hills. Description The elegant villa featuring lacunar ceilings, exposed beams and wide rooms stands in the same place where up to the first half of the 16th century stood an ancient fortress dating from the 11th century. Thanks to its strategic position in the heart of the countryside between Florence and Siena, the villa is an excellent departure point for visiting not only the town of the lily and the town of the Palio, but also the whole Chianti area, Arezzo, Pisa, Lucca and many other Tuscan cities of art. A wide panoramic terrace overlooking the valley below stretches around the building. The private swimming pool (10x5 m; depth: 1.50-3 m) lies in the garden situated on a lower level. An outdoor shower and the barbecue equipment are at guests' disposal. A porch is equipped for having meals outdoor. Accommodation The villa is a three-story building composed of entry hall, kitchen, dining room, two living rooms with fireplace, study/TV room, billiard room with dining area, laundry room, three double bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms with bathtub, a twin bedroom with ensuite bathroom with bathtub and a fifth bathroom with shower. The kitchen opens directly onto the outdoor space, whereas the living room on the first floor has an access to a wide balcony. Facilities and Services The villa is equipped with outdoor shower, barbecue, fireplace, billiard table, oven, freezer and private car-parking place. The villa is cleaned on Wednesdays (the cost of the mandatory service is not included in the rent). Shops and services of any kind are 5 kilometers from the villa.
