Although secluded, the villa’s position makes it perfect for exploring Tuscany. Back down the private road, and the Florence-Siena highway is just ten minutes’ drive, and there is a golf course 30km away. The city of Florence is just 20km distant (airport 22km). The home of Michaelangelo, Botticelli and the Medici, the hub of modern art and the centre of the Renaissance, Florence is an essential visit. If you don’t want to drive, park the car in Cerbaia, just 4km away, and in 30 minutes be in the centre of Florence by bus.
Both Siena and San Gimignano are just 50km away. Set within Siena’s mediaeval walls, pedestrianised streets wind maze-like towards the spectacular Piazza del Campo, venue for the annual spectacular, the Palio horse race. San Gimignano, meanwhile is probably the most famous small town in Italy – there are few places that evoke the atmosphere of mediaeval Tuscany so powerfully. Its 15 towers soar into the sky, making this little hilltop town a spectacular place to visit.
