Description
Property Summary
Nestled in the enchanting Tuscan countryside between the Era valley and the rolling hills of Florentine Chianti, Villa Ginestraio stands as a truly exceptional vacation rental that seamlessly blends centuries of history with refined contemporary comfort. Located approximately 4 kilometres from the historic borgo of Castelfalfi, in the municipality of Peccioli, in the heart of Italy, this magnificent two-storey villa is the result of a meticulous renovation that has transformed an ancient 13th-century Pisan watchtower into an exclusive sanctuary of relaxation and well-being. Finely restructured using quality materials rooted in Tuscan tradition, the property rises proudly on a hilltop, commanding breathtaking views over the surrounding landscape. The villa is set within an expansive yard of approximately 7,000 square metres, encompassing manicured lawns, ancient trees, and lush Mediterranean vegetation that create a serene and private natural retreat. Guests benefit from a dedicated parking area conveniently situated near the villa, reached via a charming cypress-lined driveway from the entrance gate. Wireless internet connectivity is available throughout the property, ensuring that guests remain connected should they wish, while the surrounding natural environment invites complete disconnection and tranquillity.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Villa Ginestraio are nothing short of extraordinary, offering a rich variety of environments designed for leisure, dining, and contemplation. Approximately 2,000 square metres of immaculately maintained lawn surround the villa, framed by holm oaks, pines, and ancient larches that cast generous shade during the warm summer months. The grounds are further adorned with shrubs of medicinal plants, roses, and geraniums that lend vibrant colour to this peaceful green oasis. A beautiful portico, accessed directly from the kitchen through French windows, is furnished with a table and chairs and serves as an ideal setting for leisurely breakfasts, alfresco lunches, and candlelit dinners. A large stone barbecue is available for guests who wish to prepare grilled specialities accompanied by a fine glass of Tuscan red wine. Beyond the fenced lawn, the remaining 5,000 square metres of parkland adapt naturally to the hilly terrain, merging into a vast wooded estate where olive trees, fruit trees, pines, willows, and larches alternate in a verdant landscape occasionally visited by fallow deer, roe deer, wild boar, and squirrels. An external stone staircase leads up to the old watchtower, where a small porticoed terrace offers a charming and intimate spot to enjoy a glass of wine while taking in the views. Please note that the garden photographs were taken in spring, and the appearance of the flowers and lawn may vary depending on the season of your arrival.
