Property 10607 - VALDARNO

8 Bedrooms

Location and Surrounding Area
Immersed in the peaceful Tuscan countryside, this carefully restored farmhouse is ideally located to explore the region’s cultural highlights and spectacular natural wonders. With breathtaking views over the surrounding countryside, this five-bedroom property is perfect for unforgettable day trips to Tuscany's most beautiful towns and offers a unique opportunity to admire its splendid landscapes while soaking up the region’s rich historical and cultural heritage.

In less than one hour by car, you can reach Florence, a treasure trove of art with an astonishing contemporary vibe. Beyond its extraordinary artistic heritage and centuries of civilisation, the best way to enjoy Florence is to stroll along the riverside avenues at sunset or to get lost among the city’s myriad alleyways in the bohemian Oltrarno or the narrow streets of San Niccolò, where it feels like you’ve stepped back in time along its centuries-old walls.

In one hour by car, you can reach the walled town of San Gimignano, one of Italy’s best-preserved mediaeval villages. As you crest the nearby hills, the fourteen towers of the town rise like mediaeval Manhattan. Today, not even the plague would deter the swarms of summer day-trippers, lured by a palpable sense of history and the enchanting rural setting. The historic centre was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and strolling through the streets will make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time.

The villa is also a few kilometres from the mediaeval town of Siena. Its ancient red brick buildings, the scallop-shaped Piazza del Campo, and the Cathedral Square, dominated by the zebra-striped Duomo, make it a must-visit for anyone travelling to Tuscany. An open-air museum celebrating Gothic architecture, Siena boasts secular monuments that have retained their mediaeval forms and exceptional art collections, offering plenty to marvel at.

The villa is a few kilometres from Volterra, one of Tuscany’s most dramatic hilltop towns. Despite its many attractions, Volterra sees fewer tourists than other Tuscan towns, so you can explore its winding stone streets with locals and visit its ancient sites without the crowds. Founded by the Etruscans and surrounded by mediaeval walls, Volterra has a notable historic centre filled with fascinating Roman ruins, mediaeval buildings, and alabaster workshops.
