Description
This lovely
villa in Chianti, originally a hunting lodge, is located just outside Fucecchio, a medieval town between Empoli and Pisa. Owned by a historian and art lover, this 18th Century country house has bright, spacious rooms and maintains its antique charm mirrored in the stunning frescoes, antique furniture, stone fireplaces and precious prints and books strewn about the house. On 2 floors, this holiday accommodation has 2 living rooms, a kitchen, a dining room, 1 double bedroom, 2 twin bedrooms, 1 bedroom with a single bed and 3 bathrooms, of which 2 fitted with shower/bathtub. The kitchen has access to the garden and a gazebo for al-fresco dining.
A gravel, tree lined drive leads through a farm to the villa. Less than 2 miles away there is a tiny village with a grocer’s and a coffee bar. Fucecchio has a beautiful medieval centre to visit, as well as an interesting museum. Nearby is also the natural reserve of Padule, where one can take a guided tour and observe the local wildlife and the town of Vinci, the birthplace of Renaissance scholar Leonardo, where one can visit the farmhouse in which he was born and the museum which displays some of his inventions. This
Tuscany villa for rent is certainly an ideal location for those with naturalistic or cultural interests.
