Villa Description

Nestled amid the picturesque landscapes of Tuscany, near iconic cities like Florence, Arezzo, Siena, and Cortona, this villa offers a truly immersive Italian experience. It beckons guests to relive the charm of a small medieval village with the intimacy of its renovated homes, and invites them to bond in shared spaces, such as the theater, living and cinema rooms, the dining area, and especially the courtyard and the two inviting swimming pools. These areas are all enveloped by the unmatched beauty of Tuscan nature, further enriching the experience.

This villa's roots trace back to the XV century when it served as a pilgrimage retreat. Today, the hamlet stands as a testament to its history and the meticulous restoration undertaken by its owner, a distinguished architecture professor. The essence of this place lies in integrating its surroundings, recognizing the outdoors as a vital component of its cultural and historical heritage.

The estate is designed with a central common area, with 23 bedrooms dispersed across distinct homes surrounding the main square. This layout mirrors Tuscany's 19th-century lifestyle - where private moments are cherished, but communal activities form the soul of living. The property also offers endless trails for those keen on nature walks.

In terms of interior design, this villa stands out with its blend of traditional and contemporary styles. Authentic handmade terracotta floors and wood-beamed ceilings resonate with the hamlet's classic charm. Simultaneously, elements like LED lights set in vintage lamp holders, industrial-style steel kitchens, and modern bathroom designs infuse a fresh contemporary touch. Notable materials, including travertine marble, serena stone, and locally sourced wood, are incorporated into the design.

The dining room can accommodate up to 50 guests, perfect for lavish dinners. Those seeking spiritual solace will find the private 50 m2 consecrated chapel inviting. Leisure is redefined with a billiard room, a two-level library designed for reading, studying, or games, a wine tasting room for 15, and an indoor theater capable of hosting 150 guests. The theater is versatile, suitable for musical and artistic events, meetings, conferences, and movie nights. While the professional kitchen remains exclusive to staff, guests can indulge in rejuvenating sessions in the massage room, which is equipped with three service bathrooms.

In essence, this villa encapsulates the luxury of modern comforts in a setting imbued with rich history. Its design and amenities strike a balance between the traditional and the contemporary, all the while championing an eco-friendly approach. It stands as a sanctuary that melds the charm of classic Italian architecture with modern sensibilities.
