Elegantly Restored Renaissance Villa

This property is on the market with Knight Frank. Price is disclosed upon application. 

Known as the ‘Queen of Villas’, this luxury estate is set near the Tuscan town of San Casciano.

The renaissance villa won the Marchi Prize in 2002 as the best-restored villa in Tuscany, and features original paintings, tromp l’oeils and frescos by Baroque Italian painter Pier Dandini.

The villa has 9 reception rooms, 12 bedrooms and 18 bathrooms, as well as a winery, cellars, a chapel and a limonaia.

Located in San Casciano, a small Chianti town between Florence and Siena, the property was built in the 1600s but dates back to 1427. 

Visted by Popes and Tsars, the property has been owned by several important families throughout its history, including the Machiavelli, Antinori, Corsini, Strozzi, and Capponi.

The 100+ acre property exceeds expectations with its romantic and winding, cypress-lined driveway. The villa is surrounded by lavish formal italian gardens, complete with roses, lemon trees, and herb shrubs elegantly arranged on geometric terraces with fountains, hedges, and elegant pathways.

The estate covers just over 100 acres of rolling Tuscan landscape, with 41 acres of Chianti Classico vineyards and just under 10 acres of olive groves.
