Description

Located about 25 km south of Florence, this historic property is nestled in the Chianti hills in the Municipality of Figline Valdarno. In the XV century, this property first belonged to the great philosopher Marsilio Ficino, who was at the Court of Cosimo and Lorenzo de’ Medici, and the Pico della Mirandola’s tutor. Marsilio was the most important philosopher of the Renaissance for having been the first to introduce Greek language and philosophy into European culture.

For more than 40 years, the buildings have been restored in detail. This property, 14 bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, is energy independent and has two water wells that serve it. It has a large production of extra virgin olive oil of superior quality. Hundreds of olive trees, cypresses, and many other trees are located within the property. There is adequate space to plant a vineyard, which once existed.

Around the main manor house, in the center of the estate, there are several other old buildings, all restored and furnished after the old style, with an extraordinary view, a small lake, and swimming pool.

The property extends for 26 hectares. The view one enjoys from there, together with the silence and peace that reign, are breathtaking for the visitor.
