Description:

This Romantic Medieval Farmhouse is a beautifully converted traditional Tuscan stone farmhouse that is situated on top of a hill a midst olive groves and cultivated woods that provide a breathtaking panoramic view.

Through out the years this enchanting estate has been carefully renovated and extended using recycled materials from the original structure which was initially a watchtower dating back to the 14th century. Last restoration was in 1992. Materials such as ancient hand trimmed wooden beams, ceilings, cotto floor coverings, and stone exterior walls were maintained in order to preserve the property's integrity as a medieval structure.

The structure consists of 3 buildings: a two story main house - 287 m2 (3157 sqft.), former stables that are now used as a guesthouse - 126,3 m2 (1389 sqft.), and a two story barn which can be used as an additional living space if turned into an apartment - 135 m2 (1485 sqft.). All three units have been renovated in a manner that would change as little as possible the original exterior character but at the same time include modern appliances and all the necessary connections for water, electricity, gas and sewage.

Parallel to the main house and adjoining to the guest house is and inner courtyard of 40 m2 (430 sqft.) paved with cotto tiles. In the summer this space provides an ideal cool shady seating area.

The total size of the property is 2,34 hectares (5.9 acres) with an additional 1,5 hectares (37 acres) of woodland including an olive grove hosting about 500 olive trees.

Conveniently located only 4 kilometres from Greve - the heart of Chianti, 35km from Florence and 45km from Siena.
