This grand villa is situated in the wide, tranquil Mugello Valley, just half an hour north of Florence by car. This area is well loved by those who know Tuscany well because of its rambling forests and meadows, which invite you to go hiking, horse riding, hunting or play golf. The origins of this villa can be traced back to the 13th century and in the original structure you can still clearly recognize the former influence of the Medicis. The furnishings of the vacatio villa are luxurious and you are surrounded with precious antiques and paintings. The various salons, libraries and living areas are spread throughout the house. In one of the dining rooms you find an exquisite example of the superb medieval craftsmanship found in Tuscany, a unique fireplace with carved stone mantelpiece dating from the 14th century. The furnishings of the 5 bedrooms and suites will satisfy the tastes of even the most discerning of guests and the modernly-equipped bathrooms are extensively fitted with marble. Precious carpets and rugs grace the terracotta floors throughout the house. The house staff are at your service. The villa manager will gladly help you to organise individual day excursion programs, receptions or parties and the household help will also take care of daily shopping. The golf course of Poggio dei Medici is just 3 km away.
