Ricavoli
Six bedrooms spread across a Tuscan hillside estate, where Florence's artistic treasures lie just 15km away. Your private saltwater pool commands views across the hills to a tranquil lake below.
Countryside elegance above Florence
A Tuscan farmhouse with its own salt-water pool gazes out across the Florence hills and a small lake below. From this elevated position, just 15 kilometres from Florence's historic centre, you're perfectly placed for both cultural exploration and countryside retreat. The property sits on private grounds with carefully tended gardens, while the nearest shops lie 6.5 kilometres away and a local restaurant just 2.5 kilometres down the road.
Description
The house welcomes twelve guests across six thoughtfully arranged bedrooms. Five bedrooms occupy the first floor, where three come with en-suite bathrooms and two share a family bathroom. A sixth bedroom offers independent garden access with its own en-suite, providing extra privacy for those who prefer it. Inside, the spaces feel generous and light-filled, with a billiard room that becomes a natural gathering spot and a mezzanine level equipped with table tennis.
The salt-water swimming pool occupies the property's most scenic spot, positioned higher than the main house to capture those far-reaching views. A covered veranda fronts the villa, creating an ideal setting for long meals as the Tuscan light shifts across the landscape. The well-equipped kitchen handles everything from morning espresso to elaborate dinners, while barbecue facilities and the outdoor spaces invite you to embrace the Italian approach to dining.
Your days here might begin with a morning ride at the equestrian centre one kilometre away, or perhaps a round at Ugolino Golf Club, thirty minutes by car. Florence beckons with the Duomo, Uffizi Gallery and Palazzo Strozzi, while wine enthusiasts will appreciate the Antinori winery in nearby Bargino. Greve in Chianti lies forty minutes south through rolling vineyard country. For designer shopping, The Mall outlet is just ten minutes away, though the peaceful pool terrace might prove equally tempting.
