Historical Villa With Pool And Olive Grove In Heart Of Chianti

A few kilometres from Florence and Montespertoli, nestled in the famous Chianti countryside, this extraordinary 960-sqm historic villa with panoramic swimming pool is an exclusive opportunity to experience a piece of Tuscan history. The building, which dates back to the 13th century when it was built as a convent, underwent major expansion and renovation in the 1990s, followed by recent and careful enhancement by its current owners. The property consists of the main villa, an annexe and an outbuilding, spread over 2.6 hectares of land that includes a lush garden, a productive olive grove with 300 trees and a beautiful pool area. With twelve bedrooms and fourteen bathrooms, this estate enjoys a high position offering 360-degree panoramic views of the Chianti hills, making it ideal both as a prestigious home and as a high-end accommodation facility.

Chianti is one of Tuscany's most famous and sought-after destinations, internationally renowned for the excellence of its DOCG wines and the breathtaking beauty of its landscape. The rolling hills dotted with centuries-old vineyards, silvery olive groves, cypress trees and medieval villages create picture-postcard views that have inspired artists throughout the ages. The area is distinguished by its historic wineries, Michelin-starred restaurants where you can enjoy traditional Tuscan dishes, charming farmhouses and a superior food and wine offering. The villa is strategically located a short distance from both Greve in Chianti, with its characteristic triangular square and artisan shops, and Tavarnelle Val di Pesa, an authentic village that has preserved its medieval charm intact. Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is just a few kilometres away, offering the opportunity to enjoy the tranquillity of the Tuscan countryside without sacrificing the amenities and cultural vibrancy of the city.

The main villa has a façade that bears witness to its ancient monastic vocation. It has recently undergone careful cleaning, which has enhanced its original architectural features, in particular the striking panoramic tower. The structure is built around a characteristic internal courtyard paved with antique bricks, which houses a traditional wood-burning oven perfectly connected to an outdoor dining area, ideal for outdoor entertaining. On the ground floor, the reception rooms retain their Tuscan authenticity with antique terracotta floors that have recently undergone professional treatment to enhance their natural beauty, and exposed wooden beams that lend warmth and character. The floor features a large living room with a majestic stone fireplace and direct access to the garden, a completely renovated kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances, a dining area and access to the charming historic cellars. Three double bedrooms and two bathrooms, recently updated to ensure maximum comfort, complete the floor. The mezzanine floor houses a spacious bedroom with en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe, offering privacy and intimacy in a particularly bright and cosy environment. The first floor features a spacious lounge with a living area, which leads to a panoramic room overlooking the tower, offering breathtaking 360-degree views of the surrounding countryside. It is connected to a second fully renovated kitchen and a refined reading area. The floor houses the master suite with a private bathroom and spacious walk-in wardrobe, three double bedrooms and two bathrooms with shared walk-in wardrobe, all recently updated with new bathroom fixtures.

The property is completed by a 143-sqm annexe in need of renovation, which offers interesting possibilities for expanding the living space, and a second 79-sqm structure currently used as a shed, which could easily be converted into a splendid independent guest or staff annexe.

The villa is surrounded by a well-kept 7,300 sqm park, which has recently undergone careful landscaping to optimise the green areas and open up even more impressive panoramic views. The garden is embellished with cypresses and tall trees that create natural shade and lend it that typical Tuscan atmosphere. Strategically positioned lounge areas offer relaxation corners with uninterrupted views of the Chianti hills. On the north side of the estate, there are 1.8 hectares of productive olive groves consisting of 300 centuries-old olive trees, which allow for the production of excellent extra virgin olive oil, also offering the opportunity to start a complementary agricultural business.

The big panoramic swimming pool with a solarium area is the pride of the outdoor spaces, perfect for moments of relaxation during the summer season, immersed in the silence of the countryside. A new outdoor lighting system enhances the architectural features of the property in the evening hours, creating enchanting atmospheres, while a modern water filtration system ensures maximum quality throughout the property.

Thanks to recent improvements, the villa is in excellent condition, with particular attention to detail: from the conservative restoration of the original terracotta floors in every room to the renovation of the three kitchens with modern appliances, from the updating of the bathroom furnishings to the restoration of the terracotta tile roofs, every element has been carefully considered to ensure the perfect balance between historical charm and contemporary comfort.

This historic villa for sale in the heart of Chianti is perfect for those who want to experience the tranquillity and authenticity of the Tuscan countryside with breathtaking views, without sacrificing the amenities and proximity to Florence and the most charming villages of Chianti. The property is perfect both as a prestigious residence for families seeking generous spaces and quality of life, and as a high-end accommodation facility for those wishing to invest in luxury tourism in one of the most sought-after areas of Tuscany.
