1,000 years. Maintained to high standards to retain the charm and authenticity of its time, the refined family home boasts a wealth of beautifully preserved original architectural features, such as antique terracotta floors, pietra serena stairs and door surrounds, and imposing fireplaces. Tastefully presented throughout, with well-proportioned rooms, the immensely impressive manor house offers 470m2 of l uxury. A highly liveable floor plan provides a balance between openness and privacy, in a gracious, yet comfortable scale. The reception rooms on the ground floor flow from one to another, boasting vaulted ceilings and arches with French windows that open onto the front lawn. 326 There are four bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms around a library/study on the first floor. Breathtaking views across the Arno Valley can be enjoyed from all the rooms to the front of the Tuscan manor, as well as from the sweeping gardens. In the basement, there are extensive cellars currently used for storage, but offering the possibility to create additional rooms for such pleasures as wine tasting and games.
