VILLA IL MAGNIFICO 10

Toscana - Firenze - REGGELLO

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) .

Park:

Villa il Magnifico is surrounded by a beautiful garden, embellished with large lawn areas and bordered by hedges to protect your privacy, all surrounded by vast expanses of cultivated meadows and olive groves that will frame your unforgettable holidays. In the large garden you will be greeted by an explosion of colourful flowers, lemons typical of the area and a corner dedicated to herbs that you can use to create the typical dishes of Tuscan cuisine. Under the portico next to the kitchen, with a view of the castle of Sammezzano, is a large table for outdoor dining next to a well-equipped BBQ. In the area in front of the entrance is a shady living area equipped with comfortable seating with a panoramic view over the green Tuscan hills. The laundry is near the kitchen, with access from outside. Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.

Swimming Pool:

The swimming pool, located in the upper part of the property, is fenced with hedges of Photinia to guarantee your privacy. It is about 30 metres from the house and can be reached via a flight of steps starting from the courtyard in front of the main entrance. The rectangular pool, measuring 5 x 10 m with a constant depth of 1.40 m, is lined in light cream-coloured PVC and has Roman steps for access to the water and both internal and external lighting.

TO DO

Location and distances


Villa Il Magnifico is located in a perfect geographical position, thanks to which connections to numerous places of interest, historical, artistic and gastronomic, are ensured by an excellent road and motorway network. The villa is easily reachable from the airports of the region, that of Florence is about 52 km away and that of Pisa 116 km away, and is also well connected to the railway station of Figline Valdarno, on the Rome-Florence line. The A1 motorway with the Incisa-Reggello exit is just 5 km away. Within a couple of kilometres are small towns, as a reference point for shopping. The largest is Figline e Incisa Valdarno, about 11 km away, located in the eastern part of the province of Florence, which is about 35 km away. The town extends over an area that skims the Arno valley and then continues up the slopes of the Pratomagno ridge. Beyond the valley crossed by the river Arno are the Chianti hills that separate the Valdarno area from the province of Siena. Below, the renowned balze (rocky erosions formed after the drying up of a large lake that covered the Arno valley) flank cultivated areas with little towns. The hilly strip, cultivated in terraces, is crossed by the Setteponti road, the old road between Arezzo and Vallombrosa, along which wind numerous CAI paths, allowing you to explore the whole area of the balze on foot or by mountain bike, studded with many rural buildings and Romanesque churches. The area is particularly rich in nature reserves, including the Protected Natural Area of local interest, the Forest of Sant'Antonio, a green lung of particular importance for the variety of botanical species and native fauna and the famous Vallombrosa Forest (with relative Abbey), a biogenetic nature reserve, rich in conifer woods, with an experimental arboretum made up of 3200 specimens of 1200 different species from all over the world. The park is full of streams and springs and numerous hiking trails and marked naturalistic itineraries, which can be travelled by mountain bike or on foot. Finally, the famous designer outlet The Mall is located just two kilometres from the property, while the Prada outlet can be reached in less than half an hour.
