Discreetly commanding the undulating hills of the Cabbiavoli agritourism estate, this unique castello — with its medieval tower, 12th-century chapel, spacious villa, conservatory and swimming pool — is an absolute charmer. A distinctly aristocratic air pervades this historical gem that is decked top-to-toe with valuable artworks, antique furniture and fascinating family heirlooms – including an authentic full suit of armour!

The home has been renovated for comfort and fully primed to receive and pamper the most discerning guests – from celebrities to dignitaries to Fortune 500 CEOs. Hollywood actress Julia Roberts is, perhaps, one of the most high-profile guests to have graced its suites and enjoyed its total privacy.

You’ll note a fabulous balance of rustic Italian charm, aristocratic elegance and modern practicality which will make you feel right at home. There is a liveliness about this villa that goes beyond its stately aspect and speaks of all the good times experienced here over the centuries. The games room in the summer house is a case in point.

As you might expect from a villa of such grandeur, there are plenty of distinct living areas. 

Inside, imposing fireplaces and grand living rooms remind us what family life was like in centuries gone by. An impressive entrance lodge is also home to a TV area which houses a collection of DVDs. A small library offers a place for quiet reflection and a space to write a diary entry or two. 

The old-school kitchen with adjacent breakfast room is a fabulous setting for cooking classes. From here, doors open to the outside where guests can have breakfast in the back garden. A more formal dining room is also available inside to host at least 12 people – though most groups prefer to enjoy meals outside. 

Behind the chapel, a delightful conservatory is home to the games room, which has billiards and a football table as well as sofas and board games. Outside is a well-furnished area for dining and relaxing beneath the shade. 

Frescoes, oil paintings, gilded frames, antique furniture, ornate mirrors and decorative cornices give the bedrooms a distinct “boudoir” tenor while brand-new mattresses ensure a good night’s sleep. 

More or less equal in terms of size, style and quality, these double bedrooms can accommodate up to 12 adults comfortably. 

There are four bedrooms upstairs in the main villa and one ground floor en-suite bedroom that is ideal for guests with limited mobility. The suite in the medieval tower – accompanied by a separate living room with a grand fireplace plus a fabulous rooftop terrace with amazing 360-degree views of the surrounding Chianti countryside – offers additional privacy. 

Each bedroom has either a private bathroom across the hallway or is en-suite. Some of the bathrooms feature lovely clawfoot bathtubs and vintage washbasins and all have walk-in showers. Two bathrooms have jetted bathtubs.

Furthermore, if you want to explore the Tuscan hills on your doorstep, it is a great location for cycle rides and walks, while the town of Castelfiorentino is only a 10-minute drive away.
