Tavernelle Val di Pesa

Stately San Bartolomeo Villa, dating back to 1580 and previously owned by the noble Naldini del Riccio family, is for sale overlooking the Chianti hills in a strategic location near to main services between Siena and Florence. In a style reminiscent of Florentine houses of the 1600s, the long Baroque façade of this twenty bedroom home is decorated with a clock and family crest completed in 1700. The impressive 2400 sq m / 25 833 sq ft villa is spread across four floors with a main kitchen and additional space to accommodate facilities for a luxury Spa and fitness area in the basement. The dignified rooms on the upper floors display charming trompe l’oeil frescoes, period furnishings, and an ancient coat of arms. Other unique features include a separate custodian’s apartment, grand, decorated halls, and a small chapel built in 1741. Ancient stables with a carriage house, Limonaia, and an oil mill may be found on the south side of the building, while cellars and warehouses occupy the north end next to a collection of Holm oaks. Surrounded by a well-kept garden with centuries-old trees and a cypress tree-lined avenue leading directly to the building’s front door, this noble villa is ideal for hosting out ceremonies, private events, and receptions.
