CASTELLO FIORENTINO - Tuscany

This wonderful country property is situated near the ancient town of Castelfiorentino, on the Francigen Route, once the main road from Rome to France. From its hillside position it has wonderful views over the surrounding countryside. Steeped in history, its origins date back to the 13th century when a powerful Longobard clan from the Elsa Valley, the Conti Albertis, chose this as the site for their castle. It was later converted to the elegant villa which exists today.

Outside the villa is a lawned garden and terraces, including an outdoor dining area, from where the views can be enjoyed. On a lower level is a swimming pool (10 x 5m), also a fantastic place to take advantage of the views.

The interiors are incredibly spacious and sumptuously decorated and furnished. An annex, a medieval tower and part of the original castle, alongside the villa, has independent access. There is also an independent chapel. This property offers an opportunity to indulge in the atmosphere of a grand Tuscan villa while enjoying the comfort of modern amenities. The bedrooms have air conditioning and equipment includes satellite TV, VCR, DVD, fax, internet access and a barbecue.
