Good morning everyone! I'm Ilaria Vigna from Lionel Luxury Real Estate and today I'll take you with me on a truly unique tour in Chianti, the heart of Tuscany, to visit a charming medieval castle reborn with the modern twist. Curious to know more? Venite con me! We are in Tuscany in one of its most beloved and authentic natural areas, The castle is situated in a quiet and high position surrounded by hills, vineyards, olive trees and woods. Walking along the tree-lined road that leads us to the property, it almost feels like stepping into a Tuscan postcard. Through the elegant gate we enter a charming garden, perfectly kept with blossom flowers, winding paths, aromatic shrubs and ancient trees. The property offers 700 square meters of interior space, including the main villa, the ancient tower and the wellness area with gym and spa. The castle is surrounded by 1.2 hectares of parkland, featuring a swimming pool, outdoor relaxation areas, olive groves, perfect for making your own olive oil, fruit trees and wooden area that make this place feel very quiet and private. This castle is just 30 minutes drive from Florence, ideal for those who love nature but still want to stay close to services and major connections. From here you can also easily visit Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra and many other popular destinations in Tuscany. Take a look around, the view is simply breathtaking. The castle we're about to visit has a history going back over a thousand years. It was originally built as a strategic fortress to guard the trade routes between Florence and Siena during the time of conflicts between Guelfi and Ghibellini. Over the centuries the defensive fortress was transformed into a noble residence, though it has preserved some of its original features such as the stone walls, arches and tower. Among the features linked to this place, Lapo Macchiavelli, ancestor of the renowned Niccolò Macchiavelli, writer and politician of the renaissance. The castle was also home to the family of Baldo da Guglione, a famous jurist and politician, even mentioned by Dante in the Divina Commedia. And now let me show you one of the coziest spot you could ever dream to have in your own property. This is a perfect space for gathering together and sharing stories late night. And now let's begin our tour of the property starting from one of the most breathtaking highlights. We are standing in front of a stunning infinity pool fully equipped with a hydromassage area surrounded by a sun-drenched terrace and outdoor showers. Just imagine yourself having a drink under the umbrella, completely immersed in the lush natural beauty just before diving into the refreshing water. I can hardly imagine a better way to enjoy Italian summer's day. Coming down this way we're gonna find a very special area entirely dedicated to wellness. This area covers a surface of 80 square meters and includes a lounge space, a Finnish sauna, a hot tub and a gym. The main villa spends a total amount of 400 square meters of interior space across two levels and it enjoys a magnificent panoramic terrace. You can immediately feel the warm welcoming atmosphere and an open invitation to share joyful moments with loved ones and friends in every season. And as the Italian tradition requests, there is also a lovely space for fresco dining, perfect to enjoy the Tuscan weather. And if it's not time for meals you can still relax outdoor, maybe reading a good book, thanks to this wide and super comfortable outdoor living area surrounded by an incredible peace. And now let's visit the inside. We are on the ground floor of the main villa in its spectacular living area. Spacious, bright and filled in with natural light. Here we can immediately notice the superb quality of the renovation. These spaces have been reimagined with elegance, maintaining the traditional details like wooden beam ceilings and stone walls, although painted white. White dominates, a perfect choice to amplify natural light and visually enlarge the rooms. And look at this fireplace, the perfect blend of historical tradition and modern aesthetic. Through these arches we reach the dining area, which can comfortably accommodate up to 10 people. The refined design elements fit perfectly in the contest and from furnitures to the lighting, nothing is left to chance. Favoloso! The kitchen is a true gem, entirely custom made and a paradise for food lovers, as it should be in an Italian home, right? It features a central island with a cooktop and a counter and it's equipped with high-end modern appliances. Have you ever seen a grill inside a kitchen? Just look at this massive hood, it's really impressive. And here we have a more intimate dining area, perfect to enjoy family breakfast. But there's more to discover, let's go to see what's hiding at the bottom of the staircase. A perfectly organized wine cellar with solid wood shelves, climate control and everything needed for the perfect wine tasting experience. Simply wow! On the first floor we find a super cozy lounge area and two luxurious suites. Every area of the house blends design, art and technology, featuring home automation system, underfloor heating, air conditioning and more, creating a perfect harmony between past, present and future. The first suite is truly unique, with warm, elegant and golden details. It also has an ensuite bathroom and a vintage bathtub placed right in front of the bed. And just right across the hall we find here a super modern walk-in closet, my dream come true. And here we arrive in the master bedroom, super spacious, super charming, it overlooks the garden and it's directly connected to an ensuite bathroom, a study and a private terrace. The terrace connects directly to the immense master bathroom, which is also accessible from the bedroom. This isn't just a bathroom, it's a true wellness fairytale, featuring double sinks, a huge mirror, double shower and an amazing bathtub. And now we're going to visit what I personally consider the most charming space of the entire property, the ancient medieval tower. I can't help but wonder what's inside. On the ground floor we find the entertainment area that also includes a bar. Those massive original stone walls really gives you the feeling of an ancient fortress. And those three wide windows really flood the space with natural light. Here the beam ceilings remain unpainted, saving its natural color. And this big modern fireplace waits for winter to bring a warm touch to this room. The bar is fully equipped, perfect for evenings at home with an atmosphere of the trendiest club, complete with a nice machine, fridge, professional dishwasher and even games for some fun family night. And now let's go upstairs. On the upper level we find two bedrooms with their own bathroom. This gives the tower the opportunity to be considered a perfect guest house, don't you think? Both bedrooms are bathed in light thanks to those amazing glass walls. From here you don't just enjoy the breathtaking views, you are part of the landscape. And it's no surprise that here we find the children's room, split in three levels. I'm sure every kid has dreamed of something like this. And look at this cute bunk bed, how funny. And even higher up we have a flexible space, perfect as a bedroom, study or a secret hideout. Every stone, every beam, every architectural detail of this property for sale has been carefully restored, transforming this medieval castle into a place ready to be lived in, whether as a private residence, a holiday retreat, or a charming hospitality project.
