Pontassieve, Florence (province)

Chianti

In the heart of the Chianti Rufina area, among the rolling hills northeast of Florence, stands this prestigious historic villa surrounded by a centuries-old park. An elegant and private estate where historic charm and unspoiled nature blend in perfect harmony. The property overlooks the countryside of Pontassieve and features a stunning panoramic swimming pool with breathtaking views over vineyards and olive groves, in one of Tuscany's most renowned regions for the production of fine wines and extra virgin olive oil. From the charming upper entrance, one enters the magnificent central courtyard, the true heart of the estate, around which several residential units are arranged, with a total surface area of approximately 2,831 sqm. The dependance, created from the former stables and spread over three levels for approximately 593 sqm, retains remarkable character with vaulted ceilings, exposed wooden beams, and a bright living room with fireplace. It also includes a master suite, kitchen, study, and indoor swimming pool. The main villa, measuring approximately 988 sqm, has been carefully restored while enhancing its original features: terracotta floors, frescoes, stone door frames, and grand fireplaces. It offers elegant reception rooms, a formal dining room, a spacious kitchen with wood-fired oven, a private chapel, and 8 bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. The estate also includes two independent residences, a large "rural museum" space, historic wine cellars, a tasting room, and an ancient olive mill, all bearing witness to the property's agricultural and winemaking heritage. Outside, the fenced garden with panoramic swimming pool completes this unique property, ideal both as a prestigious private residence and as an exclusive hospitality retreat just a few kilometers from Florence. The estate benefits from three independent vehicular entrances and extends over approximately 41 hectares, including vineyards, olive groves with around 1,100 trees, and woodland.
