Location:

Nestled in the sensational Tuscany countryside with forests and beautiful landscapes, the calm and tranquil surroundings make it hard to believe that the beautiful city of Florence is just over 30km away!

Indeed, while you will feel at one with the natural world, there is a handful of bars, restaurants and a supermarket within a short distance while the shopping outlets of The Mall, the Fashion Valley, Trussardi, Prada, D & G, Diesel, Monclair and Groove and more are also very close by, just 3km in the car – a dream for any fashionista!

While the villa is perfectly located to visit Florence, Siena (80km), another fine art city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is just a little further afield, making it ideal for a day trip!

Arezzo (55km) is another beautiful city for art-lovers and historians alike and reached by car in well under an hour. Of course you can also spend so much time exploring idyllic villages and historic towns of the Chianti hills or Casentino valley where there are so many enchanting places to visit.
 
The location is also perfect for wine tasting, as a world-famous wine (and olive oil!) producing region, celebrated by Verdi, Michelangelo and many others.

Furthermore, a superb golf course, Circolo Golf dell'Ugolino, can be reached in around 30 minutes and there is an excellent horse-riding centre just a 10-minute drive away. Keen walkers can follow a number of well-marked trails through the surrounding countryside, straight from the estate and there are lots of cycling and mountain bike opportunities across the region.

And for more outdoor pursuits, you’re very near to the Pratomagno mountain range, and the 300-acre natural park near Reggello, both perfect for a little physical activity and enjoying nature.
