Villa Sleeps7Bedrooms4Bathrooms4Minimum Stay2 nightsVilla Napoleone is the main house of a Tuscan estate consisting of two villas nestled in 10 hectares of private protected parkland in the outskirts of Florence and 1 mile from country hamlet San Donato in Collina. Villa Napoleone dates back to the 11th century and was built as Guard Tower, hence the stunning panoramic position. It was bought by current family in 1988 and turned into the comfortable most elegant family home it is today.
Villa Napoleone is arranged over two levels and is surrounded by olive groves, lemon trees, flowers and beautiful gardens created by famous Italian landscape gardener Pietro Porcinai, a ‘labour of love’ who took 5 years to complete!
The villa is truly unique: it has been sympathetically renovated by current owner Anna, a skilled interior designer, who mixed antique original pieces with modern designs (and comforts) while fully preserving the original character of the house. The result is a sophisticated and welcoming home, true to its heritage. You’ll have the impression of living in a little Chateau!
Villa Napoleone can accommoate up to 7 people on a self-catering basis, in three beautiful bright double bedrooms and a lovely single, all on first floor. There are 4 bathrooms: 2 luxurious en-suites and a detatched full bathroom on first floor and delightful powder room with toilet and basin on ground floor. Spreading on 500 sqm (approx 5500 sqfeet) plus the outdoor area, the villa is perfect for family reunions and for entertaining friends: there are a stunning living room/drawing room with fireplace, two dining rooms, the largest of which has a second fireplace and direct access, through large glass doors, to a truly gorgeous terrace with unbelievable views (ideal for sipping cocktails while enjoying the beautiful sunset and for al fresco dining), a fully equipped kitchen and a large stone paved patio area at the front, perfect for breakfast. Breathtaking uninterrupted views of the Tuscan countryside can be enjoyed from every room of the house.
Every room is individually decorated to extremely high standard: original Biedermaier pieces of furniture, rare empire paintings, magnificent mirrors, handmade linen curtains, large comfy white sofas create a bright sophisticated atmosphere throughout. A magnificent stone built gothic arch dating back to the year 1100 create movement and defines the different living areas. Sand stone floors, two lovely antique fireplaces and walls finished with Venetian plaster in pastel hues ooze italian craftsmanship and complete the truly unique decorating scheme. The bedrooms are all individually styled and furnished with very comfortable beds. The bathrooms are finished in marble and a Jacuzzi tub and walk-in shower are in the master bathroom. All Frette linen is of the highest quality and all owned by us – we wash and iron everything ourselves, in house, and this makes a big diference!
The villa is equipped with everything needed for a comfortable enjoyable stay: central heating, air conditioning, satellite TV, DVD player, iPod dock, wi-fi internet access and a fully equipped kitchen withhob, oven, american fridge/frezer, ice maker, coffee machine, microwave, dishwaher, washing machine, dryer and an abundance of crockery and pans. Hair dryers are provided in every bathroom. Secure car parking is of course available on-site.
The outdoor area is just as beautiful as the interior. Villa Napoleone sits in 10 hectares of private parkland with olive groves, flowering shrubs and landscaped gardens and enjoys uninterrupted panoramic views over the Tuscan hills.
The Villa has also a private salt water swimming pool measuring 14 m x 8 m and private panoramic garden decorated with flowers and precious large terracotta vases. All outdoor areas are furnished with elegant outdoor furniture (comfortable loungers with white cushions and white umbrellas are in the pool area, BBQ and dining tables and chairs are on the terrace and patio).
Villa Napoleone offers a most secluded rural retreat in the heart of the tuscan hills, yet is only 15 km away (20 min drive) from the Renaissance jewels and buzz of Florence and is the perfect base to explore the Chianti region and to experience the best that Tuscany has to offer. Siena, San Gimignano and Volterra are all within easy reach and lovely country villages, antique churches and wine farms are scattered all around, waiting to be discovered. Fine eating, golfing and horse riding are available nearby and the area is a paradise for cyclists and ramblers alike! Alternatively, you can just relax, sip a Prosecco in the garden, enjoy a swim or sit with a book and a glass of Chianti wine in front of the fireplace and soak the peaceful atmosphere in!
And if your own private pool is not enough or if you decide you need a break from the country scenery, Villa Napoleone is only about 130 km (80 miles) from the coast: the beaches, shops and night life of Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi are about 1,5 hrs drive away (don’t forget to visit Pisa on your way there!) Fashionistas will no doubt appreciate the bargains to be had at The Mall, the famous outlet shopping village located in Leccio, less than 15 min away. And Anna will always be on hand to help with advice and organisation of cookery classes, wine tasting tours, cultural tours and lots more!
