Conservative restoration involved the entire complex and was carried out with particular attention to the historic period which saw the realization of the main structure, so that in the principle architectural elements, you can still absorb the late-medieval character with those traits of austerity and sobriety which dominated the era and are common to Tuscany villas. The access road to the estate winds through 10 acres of typical Tuscan countryside and, taking a harmonious route, you can reach the great square in front of the main villa as well as a large parking area with parking spaces protected by a wooden porch with cover formed from old roof tiles in addition to the annexes.
Along a path with vine entwined pergolas, you reach the pool, surrounded by a large area paved in brick and obscured from view. Adjacent to the pool is an area with a wooden structure that houses the Thai sauna, with facilities for massage. The property also enjoys other comforts, such as a tennis court, billiard room with vintage billiards and three independent annexes for guests. TECHNICAL DETAILS LOCATION Florence is universally recognized as a city of Art, with an invaluable wealth of works that transforms the fabric of the city into a pulsating open-air museum. The heart of Florence is the Piazza della Signoria where the Palazzo Vecchio, the gallery of sculptural masterpieces by Giambologna and the Galleria degli Uffizi. A few steps away is the Cathedral with its magnificent dome by Brunelleschi (the largest ever built), accompanied by the Bell Tower and the Baptistery of San Giovanni, with its famous bronze doors. The Arno river, which passes through the city, occupies a place in the history of Florence on a par with the people that live there. From ancient times, the local population has had a love-hate relationship with the Arno which brings both the benefits of trade as well as disasters and floods. Among the bridges that cross it, Ponte Vecchio is unique in the world with its characteristic jewelers shops in the small houses built upon it. Crossed by the noble Vasari Corridor, it is the only bridge in the city that remained undamaged after the Second World War. In addition to the Uffizi, Florence has other museums which alone would be the main artistic attraction of almost any other big city and the people of Florence boast having the most shining example of artistic beauty, both female and male: the Venus of Botticelli and Michelangelo's David. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the historic center of Florence can be admired in its magnificence from Forte Belvedere, from Piazzale Michelangelo and from the hill of Fiesole that offers one of the most dramatic sights of the Arno valley. The left bank of the Arno, the Oltrarno, is an area where you can still breath, between its age-old artisanal craft shops, the atmosphere of Florence of a bygone era as described by Vasco Pratolini and Marcello Vannucci. But there are many literary aspects throughout the city: from the neighbourhoods of the tower houses that inspired verses by Dante Alighieri to the serenity of the Medici villas where the neoplatonic academy of Lorenzo the Magnificent often met, to the scenes of the Pergola and the Giardino di Boboli.
