The farmhouse/monastery
The structural parts have undergone a conservative renovation:
- “ventilated roof” for effective heat/cold insulation
- Resin waterproofing of the Tuscan Pietra Serena façades
Outdoor areas
The property is situated on a hill 470 m above sea level, which ensures a pleasant microclimate. The large terrace adjoining the farmhouse offers an incomparable view of the Valdarno valley and the small villages scattered in the typical Tuscan countryside. The southern exposure and the northern protection of the Pratomagno mountains ensure a dry and mild climate in winter and a cool climate in summer, usually with a gentle breeze.

A little bit of history…
A modest farmhouse, where wheat was threshed and bread was baked in a large oven for families from all over the region, became the hunting lodge of a noble Florentine family over the course of time. Later, the house became a convent, a place of prayer for the Sisters of Nevers. Traces of the convent chapel can still be seen today in one of the rooms. In addition to lush nature with sunsets and fairytale landscapes and inspiring tranquillity, you can also breathe in the centuries-old history of the place.
Logistics
The villa is located in a privileged geographical position. It is located on the famous Setteponti road, which was built in the Medici era to connect Florence with the southern areas of Tuscany towards Rome. The location is strategic for visiting Florence, which is only 25 km away, the Chianti area and the entire region. Services and transportation are very efficient. The area is easily accessible by car, just a few kilometers from the A1 freeway, where there are all the main services, stores, bus stops and the train station.
