'Filigrano Nuovo' - A stunning house in a rural location

Description

It is here, that in summer of 1857, the Arch-Duke of Tuscany invited Pope Pius IX to enjoy the beauty of Tuscany and to savour it's fine wines and oil. It's a heavenly place to stay, perched on a hill surveying sloping vineyards and olive groves. This ancient estate crowns the top of a hill in the Chianti Classico region halfway between Florence and Siena.

Extensive outdoor areas provide enough variety: mountain bikes can be hired, there are hiking trails on the estate and you may stroll through the olive groves and vineyards surrounding the farm, there is a children's play area near to the pool, hard tennis court dating back to the early nineties, a barbecue and of course the large pool. The pool is a proud 16 x 8 meters of which a small area (4 x 2) is designed as a baby pool.

During the renovation of the stone house at Filigrano Nuovo, great care was taken to provide comfort and quality. The apartments are spacious - redecorated using top quality traditional materials - and the furnishings chic: the ceilings are supported by solid wooden beams, while pale pink hand-fired terracotta tiles decorate the floor. The walls are painted in warm Mediterranean colors and elegant materials have been chosen for the furniture, curtains and bedclothes. The modern kitchen cabinets are of dark wood, topped with pale marble work surfaces and are all equipped with dishwasher, oven and hob, fridge and freezer. The dining areas of each unit are large enough to seat 6 people.

The apartments for 4 people have two bedrooms and two pleasantly tiled bathrooms each, making those units just right for two couples travelling together. The Macine Grande unit has even three bedrooms. Each apartment has its own outdoor area in front of the apartment, with attractive cast iron furniture. The views from outside are wonderful - stretching over vineyards to forested hills along the horizon.

The nearest shops are 3 km away in San Donato - approx. a 10 minute's drive from the apartments. This pretty Medieval village offers grocery stores, a cappuccino bar, a bank, post office, gas station and two restaurants. There are many other small trattoria and specialty restaurants in the area - enough to try a different one every evening! We will provide you with tips for this region.

The little Chianti town of Castellina is only 13 km away and the famous Medieval town of San Gimignano a mere 25 km. Florence and Siena are both just 30 km from the apartments. The driving time from the airport is approx.: Florence 45 min, Pisa 1 hr 15 min, Bologna 1 hr 40 min. ... read more »hide »
