Description:
PRIVATE STRUCTURE (lease only - CIR CODE: 04804LTN0021). Villa Barilli: an elegant house nestling in the beautiful setting of the green expanses of vineyards and olives of a prosperous estate in Florentine Chianti. Originally a farmhouse, surrounded by outbuildings used as barn and shelter for farm animals, it has been given new life after recent and accurate restoration. The rooms, where the old terracotta floors have been maintained, are furnished with particular sobriety and attention to detail and blend harmoniously with the extraordinary simplicity of the rural materials of the typical Tuscan buildings. From the windows of the house and from the pool area guests can admire the magnificent view stretching as far as the eye can see, from the garden to the rolling hills that surround the house, forming a harmonious symphony of shapes and colours. Guests can choose to just relax in this oasis of peace and natural well being or else to take advantage of the excellent geographical position to visit not only the main art cities of Tuscany, all within easy reach, such as Florence, Pisa, Siena and Lucca, but also the little medieval towns of San Gimignano, Certaldo and Vinci. The wine-producing vocation of this beautiful land allows guests to follow many naturalistic and artistic itineraries directly from the house and to explore the wine routes, dotted with old castles and villas, towards the area of the Florentine hills or southwards, to the area of Sienese Chianti

The garden around the house occupies an area of 5000 square meters, covered mainly by a manicured lawn and enriched with the typical vegetation of the Tuscan countryside: olive trees, the inevitable cypresses and oaks, creating natural areas of shade in the garden and alternating with herb borders, bushes of lavender and broom, and a large variety of flowers forming attractive patches of colour in a triumph of matchless scents. Cosy corners to sit and relax have been arranged in the garden as well as a shady porch with seating/dining area, just outside the kitchen. ideal for "al fresco" dinings.
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.
