On the lower floor, located at the level of the Italian garden, there are two rooms used as cellars, the laundry room with a service bathroom, and the spacious garage (128 sqm) which opens onto the gravel yard connected to the driveway.

The master apartment (467 sqm, 3 bedrooms, and 5 bathrooms) occupies most of the ground floor and the entire first floor.

The living area, in addition to the dining room, includes a TV area, a large kitchen with a fireplace and a tea room. Beyond the TV room is the first bedroom with a private bathroom. From the entrance, a door leads to a small apartment used as staff accommodation (45 sqm, 1 bedroom, and 1 bathroom) consisting of a bedroom, living area, and bathroom.
The first floor is reached from the monumental external staircase, from the staircase in the entrance on the ground floor or via the condominium staircase (lift included). In all cases, the doors open onto a comfortable entrance. From here you pass to the reception room with a fireplace and exit to the panoramic terrace (45 sqm). At the corner of the building, next to the staircase, there is a private office. Continuing beyond the living room you arrive at the sleeping area, consisting of two spacious bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. On the opposite side of the living room, with access from both the entrance and the corridor of the sleeping area, there is a spacious billiard room, very suitable for creating a large master bedroom with its own private bathroom.

On the second floor, accessible both via the condominium staircase and via the elevator that opens onto the villa’s central hallway, there are two guest apartments that share a beautiful panoramic loggia (25 sqm).
• Apartment A has a surface area of 158 sqm with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and consists of a large living room with dining area, a kitchen with an exit to the loggia, and two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms (one of which is in the mezzanine).

Downstream from the villa, among the olive trees and vineyards, there is an annex (106 sqm, 1 bathroom) which, in addition to the warehouses and the shed for agricultural vehicles, houses a gym with fitness area and changing rooms, the tasting room for farm products and a guest bathroom. The building could also, if wanted, be converted into a winemaking cellar.

The villa can be traced back, at least initially, to a watchtower that was part of an extensive fortification system guarding the roads that connected Florence and Siena. The actual villa was built in the 15th century and then immediately remodeled in the 16th century in the Renaissance style. The historian Carocci in his writings mentions the various families who have owned the villa over the years: among these are the Del Buono, the Bonaccorsi and the Marsili da Siena. In the second half of the seventeenth century, the villa was included in the possessions of the Buontalenti (descendants of the famous architect).
At the beginning of the twentieth century, the villa was the subject of restoration work that led to the demolition of the tower and the restoration of its sixteenth-century appearance. All using original materials and faithful reproductions made by skilled workers.
The south facade, overlooking the beautiful Italian garden, still shows the sixteenth-century sundial bearing the words Horas Tibi Serenas (Let the hours be serene).

The property covers a total area of ​​4.1 hectares, arranged along the gentle slope that descends from the villa. The building, located in a very convenient position, is surrounded by about 4,000 square metres of park that host the Italian garden immediately below the main terrace and a beautiful swimming pool area with a 14 × 7 m pool surrounded by a grass solarium shaded by palm trees. and plants typical of the area. From the main gate, a slightly uphill avenue leads to the villa passing through the olive trees and vineyards and ending in a comfortable square where you can easily park several cars. The villa is also equipped with advanced security systems with internal/external video surveillance and internal/external motion sensors.

As for agricultural land, the property focuses exclusively on oil and grapes. The olive grove (2.2 ha) has about 900 plants and allows the production of up to 10 quintals of extra virgin olive oil in the best years.

The vineyard (1.5 ha) falls within the Chianti Classico production area, but the company does not produce wine on its own, instead selling the harvested grapes. In terms of quantity, we are talking about 31 quintals of Chianti Classico DOCG and about 78 quintals of Toscana IGT.

The villa in its present guise was partly intended for the reception of guests, dividing the second floor into two apartments with independent access from the condominium staircase or elevator. The presence, however, of internal connecting stairs between the various floors, would allow the entire building to be brought together into a large, prestigious private residence. Agricultural production is currently managed by third parties but the annex downstream could be converted into a winemaking cellar with rooms for processing grapes and bottling the products.
