Description
The property was originally home to the local landowner, and there have been various dwellings on this site since the eleventh century. In the twelfth century the ruling landlords of the whole location, the Mazzalombardi family, fell out of favour with Frederico 1st who confiscated their property and gave it to the Ricasoli family who also owned the Castello di Brolio near Gaiole in Chianti, which is well worth a visit. Nowadays things are much quieter, and the Villa San Michele is a great place to stay, ideal for large family groups, looking for space, in a good location for visiting the local historical sights.
The large swimming pool is located down a short flight of steps from the villa surrounded by mature trees and shrubs. The paved area around the pool has large planted terracotta urns, a shower and plenty of sun loungers. Due to the elevated position of the property the pool has panoramic views over the Tuscan hills and countryside.
Villa San Michele is a large villa set in its own private grounds near to the villages of Lecchi in Chianti and San Sano. Both villages have grocery stores and San Sano has a well known restaurant 'La Grotta della rana'. It is possible to walk to both the villages and the restaurant is approximately 1km from the villa. The larger town of Gaiole in Chianti 8km away has a supermarket, bank, post office, pharmacy and restaurants.
Outside the mature well stocked gardens wrap around the house. There is a covered loggia next to the external stairs which has table and chairs for dining ‘al fresco’.
