Property 1605885733 - ARCETRI

4 Bedrooms

Location and Surrounding Area
Nestled in the tranquil Tuscan countryside, this magnificent recently restored property is perfectly positioned to explore the region's cultural highlights and stunning natural beauty. With its breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, Property 1605885733 is an ideal base for unforgettable day trips to Tuscany’s most picturesque towns. It offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the region’s rich historical and cultural heritage.

The villa is just a short distance from Florence, a treasure trove of art with a vibrant contemporary scene. Beyond its remarkable artistic legacy, Florence is best enjoyed by strolling along its riverside avenues at sunset or wandering through the bohemian Oltrarno and the narrow streets of San Niccolò, where it feels as if you have stepped back in time amid centuries-old walls.

The villa is also close to San Gimignano, one of Italy’s most well-preserved medieval towns. From a distance, San Gimignano resembles a Renaissance painting with its circle of 13th-century walls and tall, leaning towers. Its towers are iconic, but the town is also rich in art treasures. Despite its size, there’s enough art, architecture, and fine cuisine to explore over multiple days.

Additionally, the villa is near the medieval town of Siena, known for its ancient red brick buildings, the shell-shaped Piazza del Campo, and the Cathedral Square dominated by the striped Duomo. Siena is essentially an open-air museum celebrating Gothic architecture and exceptional art collections.

The villa is also just a few kilometres from Volterra, a dramatic hilltop town with fewer tourists compared to other Tuscan towns. Founded by the Etruscans and encircled by medieval walls, Volterra boasts a historic centre filled with Roman ruins, medieval buildings, and alabaster workshops.

In under two hours by car, you can reach Pisa, renowned for its Leaning Tower. Explore its alleys and riversides to discover architectural jewels such as Santa Maria della Spina, the Scuola Normale Superiore in Piazza dei Cavalieri, the exhibitions at Palazzo Blu, and the captivating Piazza dei Miracoli, home to the Cathedral, Baptistery, Camposanto Monumentale, and the Bell Tower.

Property 1605885733 is 11 km from Florence Amerigo Vespucci International Airport, 81 km from Pisa Galileo Galilei International Airport, 110 km from Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport, and 308 km from Rome Leonardo da Vinci International Airport. Florence is just 3 km away, San Gimignano is 51 km, Siena is 70 km, Volterra is 73 km, Pisa is 85 km, Lucca is 85 km, Livorno is 91 km, Viareggio is 106 km, and Forte dei Marmi is 117 km.
