Overview

Located half way between Montespertoli and San Casciano Val di Pesa, the villa is 40 minutes away from Florence. The ultimate in privacy and independence, both the exterior and interiors of this fine old farmhouse have been restored to a very high standard by its owner. The house is beautifully decorated throughout with terracotta floors, whitewashed walls and beamed ceilings. Villa Leonardo is a refined and elegant estate, ideal for an extended family or a group of friends looking for spacious accommodations, comfort, privacy and stunning views. Even when occupied by 12 people, the house feels spacious yet cozy. It blends country charm with simple elegance.

The property enjoys a spectacular view of a 10th-century castle and a panorama of the Chianti countryside with its rolling hills, vineyards, olive groves, cypresses and distant farmland. The estate is comprised of 350 olive trees, over 100 walnut trees, a small river delineating its southern boundaries and several acres of forest providing wonderful shade in the summer.

LIVING SPACES

The living areas on the ground floor are colorful and furnished with high-quality fabrics, antiques, fine custom linens and tableware. An elegant dining room has direct access to the garden/porch. The living room has an open fireplace, ample sofas and large satellite TV. The study offers a quiet office or reading space and a library.

OUTDOOR FEATURES

The house is accessed by a private dirt road (half a mile) and surrounded by an extensive and well-tended garden that rolls gently downward from the house towards the swimming pool, which is situated among sloping green lawns and fruit trees. Near the swimming pool (12 x 6 meters) and around the garden and terraces, there is an abundance of outdoor furniture, teak pool furniture, wrought-iron and rattan lounges, benches and chairs, marble tables, and sun umbrellas for shade.

Reviews

Our family of 12 (including six children ages 1, 3, 3, 3, 7, and 9) stayed at Villa Leonardo over Thanksgiving holiday. We had an absolutely amazing week. Instrumental to the success of our stay was this amazing property, caretaker Margarita & her partner and our chef which made every evening effortless and delicious. The caretakers surprised us with fresh & tasty pastries, recommendations, light cleaning and even installed a baby gate for our big baby Alexander who they affectionately nicknamed Ale- a nickname he still responds to today.
I can’t wait to make this vacation a tradition. Highly recommend! - Vanessa B. G.

Our stay at Leonardo was the highlight of our trip. The caretakers, Margie and her husband were wonderful. - Patty
