Timeless Elegance In The Heart Of Chianti Classico Close To Florence

Nestled in the heart of the iconic Chianti Classico region, just 30 minutes from the historic center of Florence, this distinguished Tuscan Leopoldina villa offers a rare blend of privacy, beauty, and accessibility. A short stroll from the medieval village of Barberino Val d’Elsa, the estate is perfectly positioned to enjoy both the tranquility of the countryside and the charm of local life.

Set within 14 hectares (34.5 acres) of rolling hills, vineyards, olive groves, and woodland, the property encompasses 920 square meters (9,902 sq ft) of living space across a main villa and two outbuildings. With 11 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms, it is an expansive and elegant retreat with stunning views and unforgettable sunsets.

The main villa, dating to the 19th century, spans 600 square meters (6,458 sq ft) over two levels and showcases the classic Tuscan style with its distinctive central turret and generous windows that bathe the interiors in natural light. The ground floor features a triple living room, a formal dining area, and a cozy lounge with a fireplace. A fully equipped kitchen preserves its authentic charm, while a bedroom with en-suite bath, laundry area, and a private internal courtyard complete the layout.

Upstairs, five bright bedrooms—each with a fireplace and panoramic views—offer serene comfort. Traditional beamed ceilings and terracotta floors evoke the villa’s rich heritage while ensuring modern livability. Outside, a shaded veranda and a spectacular sunset-facing swimming pool with motorized cover create the perfect setting for outdoor gatherings.

Adjacent to the main residence, a beautifully renovated 19th-century barn provides additional accommodation, including a living area, a rustic farmhouse kitchen, and four en-suite bedrooms. A covered patio overlooks the estate’s breathtaking landscape.

The estate’s infinity pool is elegantly designed to blend seamlessly into the horizon, creating a serene space for unwinding while taking in the sweeping views. Nearby, a beautifully finished annex with wooden floors offers a cozy lounge with fireplace, a fully equipped gym, and a Finnish sauna—creating a private wellness retreat nestled in the heart of the estate.

Situated halfway between Florence and Siena amid fertile hills covered with vines and olives, the municipality of BARBERINO VAL D’ELSA is set in a lush and splendid landscape. The ancient walls, which have retained two turreted towers, still surround the center of the community and testify to its past as an important Florentine outpost, beginning in 1054. Surrounded by small villages, antique churches, medieval castles, each of which tells a story, Barberino Val d’Elsa is not only an authentic town but it’s also very well organized for all the vacationers who can visit the nearby farms, wineries that offer wine tasting tours, and the typical local restaurants and trattorie.
