Nestled in the heart of the world-famous Chianti Valley, with its undulating green hills and famous wineries, stands the breathtaking, newly renovated Villa Palazzo. Perfectly situated near the most important cities of Tuscany, Villa Palazzo is less than an hour from Florence, Pisa, and Siena. With absolute privacy and luxury, the villa’s features and personal touches offer a privileged way to enjoy the beauty of Italy.
The main villa houses the 5 bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, spacious and fully equipped kitchen with terracotta flooring and beamed ceilings, living room with fireplace, reading room alcove with TV, computer with broadband line and a fax machine. There is also a laundry room with wardrobe and staircase leading down to the ground floor.
The annex is a medieval tower standing alongside the villa (part of the original castle) and has its own access. From the living room on the ground floor a staircase takes you up to a double bedroom with its own bathroom and a shower. A roof terrace provides breathtaking views of surroundings.
In front of the Villa a big garden with views on the Tuscan countryside: dramatic views of the undulating, fertile countryside below, as far as the towered town of San Gimignano which is just visible on the horizon to the south. A staircase leads down to the swimming pool surrounded by a lawn and an arcaded loggia which contains a shower and a fridge. There is also an XIII century chapel dedicated to Saint Bartholomew and restored in the XVIII century, containing an XIII crypt.
Palazzo has been featured in many famous magazines for its decor and actress Julia Roberts was one of the first guests to stay at the villa since the renovation. Finely restored to preserve its original historical and architectural characteristics, each luxurious room is unique in color, décor, view and furnishings. The castle’s strategic position over the undulating hills offers a one-of-a-kind panorama looking out over the vineyards, olive groves, fields and forests of Chianti. The staff resides on property—privacy is guaranteed.
