Greve in Chianti. In the heart of Chianti, just few Km from Florence, palatial property set in 25 ha of property land. The poder dates back to the 12th century and is located in enchanting, panoramic position with fabulous views over the surrounding countryside.
Origins: This ancient property was built round a walled castle of the XII century set in one of the most strategically important points at that time for the control over the Florence and Siena's main transport ways. In 1629 the castle was partially destroyed by the Ghibellini party of Siena during a battle against the Gualfi's party of Florence.
The restoration has focused on keeping unchanged the original house’s style and layout and just high-end and handmade materials were used. All the rooms boast wonderful, old stone walls obtained from the ancient fortress, thus creating a magic atmosphere.
Currently the property is used as holiday accommodation with 9 apartments for a total of 14 bathrooms and 13 bedrooms. Each apartment provides one kitchen, dining room and independent air conditioner. The building enjoys a wonderful scenery. In the garden is a nice swimming pool (12x6 m. and max depth 1,5 m.).
Furthermore the property includes a two-level detached cottage with two master bedrooms, air conditioner and private pool 6,10x3,80.
Additional land house in need of restoration with fenced land and horse stables.
