An extensive structural, architectural and aesthetic renovation and restoration project began early January 2017 has been completed on 1st December 2018, the property is available as a holiday home from summer 2019.

An extensive restoration project began early January 2017 and was completed in summer 2019.

The villa boasts 360 panoramic gorgeous views being perched on a plateaux at the foothills of the old village of Montegonzi.

Much care and attention to detail is being devoted to bringing back to life a little part of the Tuscan landscape.

The villa was renovated and furnished primarily as a home.

The villa has spectacular views, offers the utmost in privacy and has been renovated with passion and love for the Tuscan ways, yet maintaining a contemporary feel.

While it is located in the countryside, it is only 15 mins away from Montevarchi, 50 mins away from Arezzo and an hour from Florence by car.

However, it also offers a group of friends or relatives the opportunity to enjoy the tuscan landscape secluded from crowds in the comfort of the Villa and its surroundings.

A 12x5m (39x16ft) private swimming pool with a BBQ area is available to all guests.

Due to the quality and style of finishing and furnishing of the property, the estate being perched on a plateau surrounded by 12 hectares (29 acres) of arable land, woods, 1200 olive groves and a small vineyard,  the property is more suitable for an adult clientele.

While children are of course welcome, and the Villa is only ever rented out to a single group as one booking and is not shared with others,  we would like customers to get the most from staying at the property. Therefore,  rentals to families with children are reviewed on a case by case basis.
