Profile
Surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, the villa (16/21 beds) stands in panoramic position atop a hill offering a magnificent view of the Tuscan countryside stretching as far as the eye can see. The 19th-century villa is surrounded by a wide fenced garden with swimming pool, furnished with sunloungers and sunshades, and barbecue equipment, for pleasant meals in the open air. In the past, the small chapel of the nearby monastery of the Calvane nuns stood on the estate. The chapel housed the painting called "Madonna della Neve" (Our Lady of the Snow), to which the building was dedicated. Numerous panoramic pathways stretch around the villa for guests to stroll or mountain bike on the gentle Tuscan hills. Tennis courts and two riding stables in the neighbourhood. The villa, whose entrance is decorated with two 17th-century statues representing two lions, is divided into five apartments, all furnished in the typical Tuscan style. All the apartments are provided with private telephone, satellite TV and Internet connexion and one of them is accessible to disabled people. Situated about 20 kilometres from the centre of Florence, the villa is an excellent starting point for trips to Siena, Pisa, San Gimignano, Lucca, Pisa and Volterra. Various renting formulas are possible for groups of 16 and 21 people.
