Villa with garden and terraceVinci (Italy)
Charming 16th-century villa, fully restored, part of a small medieval hamlet dating back to 1152. Perched in a panoramic position, it overlooks the splendid vineyards that dot the hills in the heart of the homeland of Leonardo da Vinci, halfway between Florence and Lucca.
Description of the establishment: The historic residence, covering a total area of 2000 square meters, is a unique place that has always been the residence of the most illustrious Florentine noble families. It was a hunting lodge belonging to the noble Uguccioni family, Priori delle Arti during the Medici era, and since 1988, it has been owned by Cantine Leonardo da Vinci, a winery that has been at the top of both Italian and international oenology for years. Today, it is a luxury villa that dominates the Tuscan hills of Leonardo da Vinci. The hamlet is also characterized by two restored farms as well as a Catholic chapel where sacraments are still celebrated today. The main villa rises over three levels and constitutes the heart of the hamlet. The ground floor houses the dining rooms and reception rooms currently used for events. The first floor contains traditional rooms such as the kitchen, dining room, and armory. The second floor features the sleeping area consisting of 8 bedrooms, including 2 suites and 2 accessible rooms, all with private bathrooms and independent access. The charming chapel, a typical example of a still-consecrated mansion church, is adorned with a painting attributed to Antonio Mini, a student and assistant of Michelangelo.
Outdoor spaces: A place of peace and tranquility where silence and the relaxing atmosphere of the Tuscan countryside prevail. The location of the hamlet is exclusive, with a 360° view over an enchanting landscape and is among the most renowned for the production of quality Tuscan wines. The gardens surrounding the hamlet extend over 2 hectares and allow for organizing multiple events while enjoying the surrounding untouched nature. The surrounding vineyards are considered among the best in terms of exposure, soil type, and care in viticulture. It is possible to acquire up to 70 hectares of land.
Condition and finishes: The interiors of the villa hold great historical and cultural importance, such as the elegant hall with vaulted ceilings, the armory, the cellar, and the crossways in the basement. The second farm is currently being restored to its raw state, while the third has been recently restored.
Usage possibilities: An enchanting place of peace, tranquility, and great charm, ideal for relaxing stays, business meetings, social events, and lavish weddings. The splendid hamlet offers excellent expansion opportunities due to the unfinished farms that could be converted into accommodation structures.
Location: The location of the hamlet is strategic, easily accessible by car via the A11 and the FI-PI-LI highway. Vinci is only 6 km away, Florence 44 km away, Pisa 60 km away, and Siena 80 km away.
