Introduction

A truly exceptional luxury villa in Tuscany, this 13th century house has been beautifully refurbished to the very highest standards. A wonderful wade-in pool and private tennis court, gym and air-conditioning are among the modern additions.

Villa Montefiori

Resident staff, cook service, huge rooms and formal rose gardens all contribute to the sense of grandeur at this historic country house. And yet the villa exudes an irresistible air of welcome, an easy tempo of relaxation, and a comfortable combination of old world charm and contemporary facilities. Almost equidistant between Florence and Siena, Montefiori stands amid five acres of vineyards and olive groves, its gardens encompassing a bocce (petanque) ground, astroturf tennis court, and the swimming pool, backed by a bank of herbs and overlooked by a tree-shaded sitting area. Beside the house, a covered terrace is furnished for al fresco dining, looking out to tranquil views and leading into the effortlessly elegant sitting room, enchanting country style dining room, and ancient vaulted billiard room. The villa has just been extensively refurbished including but not limited to new contemporary sofas and linens, new kitchen, new bath and shower rooms. And the house is a stroll away from a noted local restaurant La Cantinetta di Rignana and 8km from shops.

Guests can enjoy superb local cooking and finest wines at the restaurants in Greve just 8km away and there are further excellent restaurants at Panzano and other informal restaurants nestling in the countryside. The speciality food shops both here and in other local villages have a superb selection of these fine wines and other local specialities. The villa is within easy reach of some of the best wine producing estates in Chianti and guests can enjoy tastings at local wineries. The house is 33km from the sights of glorious Siena. A magnificent property to enjoy this beautiful region.
