Only 7,5 miles from Florence (15 minutes by car). Villa Cafaggiolo is an ancient stone built farmhouse situated at the top of a panoramic Chianti hill, and surrounded by open farm-land cultivated with olive groves and vineyards. It is a large free-standing country estate, constructed in the late 1700s; the property has a charming country feel to it, while providing at the same time many modern features. The Villa have been recently restored using traditional materials and conserving the original terracotta floors and beamed ceilings. It is divided into 3 luxury apartments, each having its own private entrance and separate garden. They are tastefully furnished with antique furniture and chandeliers and decorated with paintings and ceramics. The grounds surrounding the Villa are made up of 2.5 acres of land completely fenced, terraced, and planted with a variety of mature trees, hedges, and flowers. There is also a lovely rose garden and a swimming pool with a spacious deck. The medieval town of Pontassieve, less than 2 miles away from Villa Cafaggiolo, has all the modern amenities: shops, banks, excellent restaurants, tennis courts and the railway station with frequent trains into the centre of Florence. The Villa is a short distance from the most famous towns of Tuscany; besides fashion-conscious bargain hunters will find the outlets of Gucci, Ferragamo, Armani, Valentino, Prada, Ysl, Dolce & Gabbana, in the town of Leccio, just 7 miles away.
