Description

RECEPTIVE STRUCTURE. Il villa is an old farm whose documented origins date back to the fifteenth century. Originally a farmhouse on the Tenuta di Monsoglio, a prestigious architectural complex of great historical importance which has belonged over the years to important local families and which is, today, an aristocratic and elegant residence, in which the careful, refined renovation has preserved the typical two-dovecote structure and, indoors, the original stone floors and impressive wooden ceilings beams. The house, with a beautiful view over the extensive vineyards that border the property, ending with seven hectares of woodland, is enhanced by a collection of antique furniture and characterized by original, stylish details that lend an uncommon touch of personality to the rooms and, particularly, to the large and elegant living room which continues outside along the large porch overlooking the manicured garden that surrounds the villa, ideal for outdoor living and embracing the peaceful atmosphere of the most typical Tuscan countryside. Located in the upper Valdarno, in a hill area of great natural importance just outside the area of Chianti, and a few kilometres from Arezzo, the property is the ideal base for visiting the art cities of Siena and Florence and for exploring the amenities of an area rich in numerous artistic and architectural routes, dotted, along the beautiful scenic roads, by the unique old borghi, true stone “living rooms” which preserve the traces of the distant past of timeless fascination. Please Note: when the property is rented in this solution no other guests will be present on site.
