Villa With Pool And Olive Grove In Florentine Chianti

In the hills of the Florentine Chianti, in the rural setting of Certaldo, this magnificent, perfectly renovated period estate overlooks a panorama extending to the iconic medieval towers of San Gimignano. The property offers 1000 sqm of interior space across the three levels of the main villa and its ancillary buildings, including an annexe with a staff apartment, for a total of four buildings embraced by a vast agricultural estate of 3 hectares, divided into 20000 square metres of garden and 10000 square metres of productive olive grove. The interior layout offers a total of nine bedrooms, eight bathrooms, several reception halls enhanced by original stone fireplaces, a spacious cellar, an evocative deconsecrated church and a large swimming pool with a fully equipped veranda.

The main structure is the result of an evolution rooted in the thirteenth century and completed in 1616, giving the residence its noble character typical of Tuscan aristocratic homes. The main entrance on the ground floor leads into a large living room featuring authentic Tuscan terracotta floors, ceilings with exposed beams and direct access to the garden. Beside the living area is a characteristic rustic dining room, dominated by a majestic historic fireplace in pietra serena stone. The kitchen is spacious and fully equipped. The ground floor also offers an intimate sitting room with a hearth for winter evenings, a comfortable air-conditioned double bedroom and a full bathroom with shower. Completing this level is a refined games room, featuring, among other amenities, a billiard table and library corner.

On the first floor, a second, bright principal living room enhanced by a decorative fireplace serves as a hallway to the sleeping area. This level, fully air-conditioned and finished with wooden and natural terracotta floors, has been arranged to ensure impeccable independence and restorative rest for family and guests. The layout accommodates four double bedrooms, three of which have their own en-suite bathroom with shower, together with a delightful bedroom with a French bed and a twin bedroom with two single beds, also with its own bathroom, as well as an additional full bathroom serving the floor.

The upper level houses the attics, generous and multifunctional spaces providing access to the distinctive panoramic turret: a privileged and intimate vantage point suspended above expanses of vineyards, woodland and the scenic outline of the surrounding hills.

A short distance from the villa stands the independent annexe, a distinguished building housing a refined guest suite with an air-conditioned double bedroom and private bathroom, alongside an apartment dedicated to service staff with bedroom and bathroom, as well as a functional underground cellar. Enhancing the estate's historic value is an ancient deconsecrated chapel. Further enriching the outdoor amenities is a 12.5 by 6.5-metre swimming pool, surrounded by a stone solarium and green lawn, served by a splendid covered veranda with summer kitchen and built-in barbecue. Completing the estate is the olive grove of 10000 square metres, home to three hundred olive trees that guarantee quality production.
