Description:
RECEPTIVE STRUCTURE. Set in the unmistakable scenery of the green Tuscan hills of the Val d'Arno, is Villa il Magnifico, a welcoming old manor house that was a hunting lodge at the time of the Seigniory of the Medici. The recent renovation, accurately carried out by the owners, has provided the villa with unique comfort for its guests, trying to respect the typicality of its history. Particular attention has been paid to the use of the characteristic materials of the period such as the wooden ceilings with terracotta tiles, the floors in handmade terracotta of Impruneta, the typical fireplace in pietra serena or the beautiful round arch that divides the living room. Large elegant rooms embellished with refined furnishings, spacious welcoming bedrooms, a brightly-lit and well-equipped kitchen and a beautiful garden with private swimming pool, make this property the perfect destination for family reunions or for hosting large groups of friends wishing to spend a relaxing stay in a peaceful setting. Close to the most beautiful cities in Tuscany, the villa is surrounded by borghi of unique flavour such as nearby Reggello with its typical historic town centre, or the area of the balze, a natural area crossed by paths that wind along the foot of the steep crags with their characteristic yellow ochre colour. The outdoor spaces of the villa extend in a triumph of coloured flowers and areas dedicated to aromatic herbs, all surrounded by multicoloured hedges where guests can spend unforgettable moments in complete relaxation in the various set-up areas. Furthermore, its location, just a few kilometres from the motorway exit, allows you to quickly reach the main art cities of Tuscany: Florence, Arezzo, Siena, Lucca, Pisa and the characteristic villages of Florentine Chianti for memorable days. This property is ideal for shoppers, in fact, just 2 kilometres away is the fashion valley with the renowned The Mall, a luxury outlet of the most prestigious Italian fashion brands (https://firenze.themall.it) . Please Note: when the property is rented in this solution no other guests will be present on site.
