Villa Belpoggio
was built in 17th century, on top of the remains of a 14th century watch-tower.
This period house is a classic example of a country summer residence designed for the Florentine aristocracy.
A small oratory was constructed next to the Villa at the end of 1700 while a lower building and the granary date back to 19th century.
Because of the historical and artistic value of the Villa, in 1990 the Ministry of the Cultural Heritage and Fine Arts, designated the estate as one of its official period properties.
The current owners have restored the Villa of Belpoggio with loving care in order to revive the past beauty of this elegant country residence.
Their desire is to have a place where a limited number of guests can enjoy peace, nature and warm Tuscan hospitality.
Belvedere:
The "Belvedere" refers to the panoramic beauty of the estate: a wonderful broad vista sweeps from the Villa through the Arno Valley up to the slopes of the Chianti mountains.
The shades colours of vineyards, olive groves and oak-woods, make you think about the mysterious landscapes of Leonardo da Vinci and Piero della Francesca paintings.
Next to the Villa a swimming pool has been built of an old basin, which was once used to collect water for the fields. While enjoying a hydromassage, the surrounding wonderful Tuscan landscape will astound you.
