Colline San Biagio
This beautiful and ancient villa, originally a 13th-Century monastery, is located in the tiny medieval town of Bacchereto, in the captivating hills surrounding of Florence.
The villa has been thoroughly restored, maintaining its original Tuscan style. With its tastefully decorated interiors and comfortable atmosphere, one can enjoy modern comforts together with the traditional Tuscan way of life.
The villa lies amidst the splendid Tuscan countryside, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. For anyone seeing it for the first time, it appears as a formidable stone building, with large windows, robust ancient wooden doors, visible wooden ceiling beams and other original characteristics adding to its splendor. Among the trees populating and shading the garden, one can relax and take in the wonderful view, extending from the fields to the hills, with Florence off in the distance.
The spacious front porch hosts a large table and chairs where guests can comfortable enjoy outdoor meals, sampling all the wonderful Tuscan culinary specialties this region has to offer. The panoramic swimming pool lies nearby, where one can cool off, enjoy the view, and feel perfectly in harmony with nature. Circling the pool are series of umbrellas, lounge chairs and tables to enhance your unforgettable moments of peace and relaxation.
Scattered about the garden are large terracotta orci containing bright flowers which add their summer cheer to the rarefied atmosphere and panorama. At the center of the garden stands an old well which is testimony to the ancient origins of the building and which embodies the history and traditions of this rich and generous land.
Climbing a spiral stone stairway guests can reach the gazebo furnished with small tables and arm chairs, which provides a breathtaking view of Florence – the perfect spot for enjoying one of the spectacular sunsets with cocktails or simply a fine glass of wine.
The villa is part of a farming enterprise using ancient methods to produce their own wine, extra virgin olive oil, San Biagio vinegar and natural jams made from the best fruits gathered here in the heart of Tuscany.
