Via Montagliari, Panzano In Chianti, Florence, Italy

Nestled in the most authentic heart of the Chianti Classico countryside, Il Poderuzzo 1427 is a distinguished historic estate whose origins date back to the 15th century.

Over the centuries, the property has been owned by some of Tuscany’s most prominent noble families, including the Gherardini di Vignamaggio, the lineage traditionally associated with Mona Lisa, and the Gondi family. Throughout its history, the estate played an important role as a thriving agricultural holding within the traditional Tuscan sharecropping system. During the nineteenth century, the former farmhouse was transformed into an elegant private residence, carefully preserving its architectural heritage while adapting it to a refined residential use.

At the centre of the estate stands an exceptional historic villa arranged over three floors and distinguished by a wealth of architectural and artistic features. The property is now the subject of an advanced restoration, enhancement and expansion project, substantially approved and already partially implemented through structural consolidation works.

The proposed scheme envisages the creation of an exclusive hospitality retreat featuring three suites and seven guest rooms, together with elegant spaces designed for entertaining and private events, a wellness area with spa and swimming pool, and agricultural grounds including olive groves and kitchen gardens. The project has been conceived to meet the expectations of an international clientele seeking privacy, authenticity and contemporary comfort within a remarkable historic setting.

The estate also includes a beautifully restored former granary, currently arranged as an independent guest residence. The accommodation comprises a spacious living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a guest cloakroom and a storage room. A charming swimming pool has been seamlessly integrated into the surrounding landscape, enhancing the sense of tranquillity and seclusion.

A second guest house provides additional independent accommodation and includes an open-plan living area, bathroom and a private bedroom with en suite bathroom on the lower floor, offering comfort and complete privacy for family members and guests alike.

The estate extends to approximately 8 hectares and benefits from an existing building permit for the construction of a second outdoor swimming pool serving the main villa, further enhancing the potential of the property.
