Two charming new houses in Tuscany:
Villa Il Conte is literally 20km from Florence: on a clear day you can see Brunelleschi’s Dome from the garden. Restaurants and shops are an easy walk. It is a modern and comfortable house but with a real history:it was a hunting lodge of the Medici family and the neighbouring park was the hunting ground. Now it is a beautifully restored villa with a nice pool set 
in a large garden cypress and olive trees. Location is important in Tuscany: this house has it as well as everything else.
Villa Le Noci is close to San Gimignano in Chianti, set in 24 acres of beautiful grounds with sensational views from all of the bedrooms.
The historic Castle of Montalto lies in one of the loveliest and most unspoiled parts of the Chianti area of Tuscany, not far from Siena. It is very centrally located for art touring, an excellent home base for sight-seeing, winery visits and exploring hill towns and back roads.
Part of the castle and the houses surrounding it are offered directly by the owner as self-catering vacation rental accommodations. The estate has a swimming pool, a tennis court, an ample library, laundry facilities, private gardens and extensive woods for pleasant walks and jogging. There are beautiful vistas over the farmed fields in the valley.
Silence and peace provide a restful environment, and a part-time concierge assists our guests. You will enjoy independence and privacy but not be isolated. (read more)
Large or small, all are tastefully and individually furnished and well equipped. Many houses have fireplaces, washing machines, and terraces or private gardens.
Montalto Castle, having various separate houses of different size, common gathering spaces and a lovely chapel, is the ideal location for weddings, seminars, family reunions, workshops, meetings and cerimonies.
