About the Property.
The property has been in the family since five generations. As a result of various successions it belonged to the Bardi´s a feudal and noble family of bankers relatives of the Medici´s, to then return to the Vespucci´s - descendant of the great Amerigo until 1820.
Since then, the historic estate has preserved its original wonderful characteristics and authentic Tuscan charm, whilst undergoing a complete renovation and careful restoration phase considering all modern comforts and facilities. Each room has been tastefully furnished and decorated with the finest local materials handmade by Florentine artisans.
The extensive secluded grounds ensure privacy and feature walking paths across roses and olive groves, from which excellent Olive Oil is produced every year (guests are welcome to taste it upon arrival). Perfectly kept at all times, the park offers multiple seating areas for al fresco dining and it is ideal for outdoor summer banquets.

The structure.
Spreading over a surface of about 7,500 square feet, with its 7 charmingly decorated bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, the property can comfortably accomodate up to 14 guests.
