Villa Petrea is an eighteenth century villa built in typical Leopoldine style. It is situated on the outskirts of the Chianti region in the village of Bucine, along the round that passes through the Ambra valley.
The villa is on the top of a hill surrounded by cypresses and centuries-old olive trees.
It is said that the Villa was originally built as a hunting lodge for Florentine nobles who used to come to the Ambra valley to enjoy themselves in a romantic and evocative rural setting.
The Villa has been completely renovated in order to bring its standard of interior comfort up to the level of the beauty of the building and the result is absolutely high quality.
It is situated in the middle of the Tuscan cities of Florence, Siena and Arezzo and nearby there are many Villages which offer the chance of discovering exceptional artist treasures.

The villa and our stay has been like a dream come true. Rodolfo and Daniela were the consummate hosts. We took trips to Siena, Florence, Arezzo, SanGimignano, but the best experience is simply to lie on your back poolside while some serious star going and dreaming.
Ciao Villa Petrea, We loved you!
