Villa I Cedri, only ten minutes from the enchanting city of Florence, is a Renaissance villa originally commissioned in the fifteenth century by the Marquess Niccolò Antinori. Its layout, centred around the paved courtyard, surrounded by formal gardens, and set in a productive agricultural landscape, is the typical design of aristocratic estates from this era. Nestled in the splendour of the Tuscan hills, this estate promises days of indulgence and romance in classical Renaissance style. The property, a dream villa, surrounded by luxury and hospitality, blends beautifully with its natural surroundings. The traditional cypress path leads up the hill to the villa and its spectacular gardens, with the charming pool and the outdoor seating area with a lovely gazebo. The delightfully fragrant roses, olive groves, cypresses, citrus trees, lavender, and a 200-year-old Lebanese cedar comprise this magnificent thirteen-acre traditional Tuscan park within which this phenomenal villa is immersed. While seemingly secluded, the villa is only 10 minutes from the marvellous city of Florence. Over the centuries, the villa has undergone numerous improvements and renovations that have transformed the villa into the extraordinary estate that it is today. The property features an elegant ballroom, a beautiful blue living room, a charming sitting room which faces the garden, a studio, and a formal and tastefully decorated dining room. The property can welcome up to twelve guests, featuring six elegant bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. In addition, it offers a double bedroom for staff. All the rooms boast beautiful frescos. The subtle attention to details provides a sumptuous and luxurious atmosphere. This historic villa is a dream waiting to be realized: a Renaissance villa with all modern luxuries that overlooks the hills surrounding Florence. It is a luxurious Tuscan escape indeed.

The Watermill is located in Sambuca Val di Pesa, a small village between Siena and Florence. The property consists of a central building and two barns surrounded by lush and colorful vegetation, filled with fragrances, and sounds that make it a truly unique place to connect with nature. The rustling of leaves blends and the sound of the Pesa River are both soothing and refreshing. On the ground floor of the Villa, a spacious living room leads to a grand dining room with a fireplace and a bread oven followed by a modern kitchen restored and equipped with all the modern conveniences, a bathroom with laundry facilities, and finally the main suite with a large and luxurious private bathroom with travertine shower. On the first floor, a bright living room dominates the scene with its central truss and a fireplace that makes the atmosphere even more special. From here, you have access to two suites, both with private bathrooms and travertine showers. One of these suites features a freestanding bathtub with a panoramic view of the Villa's garden. Another suite, located on the garden floor with direct access to an exclusive patio, has been entirely carved out of the ancient mill's manger used as a horse rest stop and for grain storage, still visible in the suite's private bathroom. What makes this room even more special is its proximity to the mill room where the ancient millstones are still present. Located on the left side of the main building in one of the barns, another suite (the biggest annex) extends over two levels: on the ground floor there is a double bedroom with a bathroom and access to a front patio and a lateral loggia used as a dining area, while on the upper floor, there is a loft with two single beds overlooking the villa's pool. Formerly an ancient sawmill (the small barn annex), is located opposite the main body of the villa and overlooks the park directly through a paved patio. The dependance comprises a living room with a fireplace, a kitchen with a historical marble sink, and a double bedroom with an open shower. The pool is surrounded by lush vegetation, the scent of cypresses, the sound of the river nearby, and the Tuscan hills serve as a background, creating a magical and relaxing atmosphere. The verandas are located on the back part of the villa. These lodges are also accompanied by a round table around an ancient olive tree where a wood-fired oven and a relaxation area are situated. Finally, the riverside beach is a true oasis where you can reconcile with nature and let yourself be lulled by the sound of flowing water and the rustle of leaves that surround it. It can be accessed directly from the villa and features a relaxation area, dining table, and sun loungers.

As for the restoration of the vineyards, also in the reconstruction of the villa the approach was that of a conservative recovery, restoring value to the architectural building aspects dormant over time: the external fixtures and windows have been recovered as well as the internal doors, the load-bearing beams have been replaced and reused for the construction of the oak and chestnut wood flooring in the bedrooms, suites and bathrooms. The avenue of olive trees leading to the entrance, the colorful and fragrant lemon garden and the slopes of shrubs and flowers positioned as if to frame small glimpses of the vineyards and the Tuscan hills create a link between the estate and the surrounding landscape. Villa Panzano has been transformed into a work of art: alive, with different interpretations and, behind it, a glorious story to be told with pride and respect, while keeping an eye towards the future.

The building was constructed in the early 1900s, in the central part of Florence, during the decades immediately following the unification of Italy (1860), with the work of urban architect Giuseppe Poggi who gave a new face to the city by creating the Viali and the Piazzale Michelangelo. During those years, Florence was briefly the designated capital of the Kingdom of Italy (1863-1871). The 5-story building, characterized by architectural windows with mullions on the main floors, was constructed in stone, solid bricks, and mortar in just five years around 1920, with finishes of remarkable quality. A curiosity: some of the stones used for the construction of the houses in the area came from the demolition of the ancient walls of Florence and old houses demolished to create the new ring roads. 2024 WEEKLY PRICES: Low season: €4,500.00 High season (15/03-31/10 and 20/12-10/01): €8,500.00
