This very attractive and elegant villa was originally built in the second half of the 19th century, and has been completely renovated. It is located only a few miles from Greve in Chianti on the famous Chianti road that links Florence and Siena. The views from the property are like a picture of a typical Chianti landscape. As far as the eye can see, there are gently rolling hills covered with vineyards and olive groves.
