Castle in Green Florence, Tuscany

Property Description

This traditional Italian farmhouse has been carefully restored to create a beautiful villa. Set on the edge of the small village of Tavarnelle in the hills surrounding Florence, there’s definitely a touch of old school romance to this home. Wisteria winds its way around the pergolas, and the honeyed stonework of the farmhouse is draped in vines from its terracotta roof tiles down to the sun-drenched terraces surrounding it. Inside, the spaces are on a grand scale, with vaulted ceilings in the kitchen and lounge area that makes you feel like you’re residing in a medieval castle. There’s a long table for feasting, a huge stone archway and fireplace, and heavy velvet drapes strung across the outside doors. Four-poster beds, cavernous bathrooms and a Turkish bath only add to the effect. This is a character-packed home, ideal for a big group of family and friends to come and spend time together. With its large grounds, swimming pool, sun terraces and ample indoor areas, there’s more than enough space for everyone to socialise together or spread out and do their own thing as desired.
