Luxury villa near Florence
Being a large group of people (19 people!) we did not think we could find something in the countryside in Tuscany to fit us all. On www.yourtuscanvilla.com we were able to find Villa Chianti, a sixteenth century farmhouse completely restored to a be a wonderful private villa with pool. The pool was gorgeous! Immersed in an olive grove and surrounded by lush plants and blossoming flowers, it commanded views of the countryside around Florence. The house was just unbelievable. Full of all comforts, it did not even need air conditioning as these ancient Tuscan villas have very thick walls and they function perfectly as a thermic insulation. The peace level, the privacy, and the food (we got a private chef for the week!) were simply gorgeous.
Our daytrips to Florence, Siena and many other small towns in the area were a pleasure since we were so centrally located in Tuscany. One day we even went to Rome and were back in the late afternoon for a swim in the swimming pool of Villa Chianti.
The owner, a French performer, gave us all comforts, such as cable Internet and TV, WI FI connection, fax machine, photocopier, and a wonderful international library.
Even during the occasional rainy days it was a pleasure to be inside this homely Villa Chianti, which internal architecture reminds of an old castle, in bright summery colors.
In addition we went for wine tasting in the chianti region, which left me with a much better understanding of this superb wine.
Villa Chianti in Tuscany is a lovely experience to try!
