Historic Wine Estate In The Chianti Classico Area Close To Florence

An ancient estate with a 12th century villa in the splendid Florentine Chianti, with its breathtaking views as a backdrop.
For decades, a popular destination for wine and food tourism, this place presents a unique opportunity for the development of luxury hospitality, which seems to be developing with continuity and success in this area of high vocation. Just to cite The London Times: “In a post-Covid world, experts expect demand for secret hamlets in Italy would increase as a result of the slow pace, fresh air, happy locals and unmatched beauty.”
Just 16 km south of the capital Florence, in the prestigious Chianti Classico area, easily accessible from the main roads, this traditional Villa Fattoria is situated in a hilly area with large areas of vineyards and olive groves.
The ancient villa is reached through an avenue of cypress trees and is spread over three levels (1,700 sqm). In front of the villa are the buildings that served as cellars, stables, the wine cellar and the oil mill, for a total of 3,125 square meters, including the old castle with its characteristic rhomboid tower. The large above-ground cellar, built in the 1970s, is used for the ageing of all the winery’s production. Adjacent to the winery is a farmhouse with an annex of well 820 square meters. This farmhouse and outbuilding are also of high architectural quality.
The surrounding land covers 13 hectares, 5 ha of which are vineyards of Chianti Classico and 5.5 ha of which are specialized olive groves.

This authentic property has the potential to be converted into a luxury hotel or a private residence club as the farm buildings could be easily split into two story apartments with private gardens and a club house with a possible wellness area.
