Villa Nobile: Ensconced in a quintessential Tuscan landscape of cascading hills

The aptly named and lovingly restored, Villa Nobile, sleeping 10, can be found ensconced in what is a truly quintessential Tuscan landscape of cascading hills, umbrella pine, girasole, olive groves and vineyards. Tucked away in the Chianti hills, the recently renovated romantic hideaway is idyllic and a short, scenic drive from Florence, Lucca, Pisa, San Gimignano and Siena, making it an ideal place from which to venture out in the morning and be back for lunch and a swim in the afternoon. The estate is a study in effortless good taste, with relaxed yet refined interiors that mix heirloom antiques and finds from exotic far reaching travels, thus making Villa Nobile the perfect choice for multi-generational families or Globe-trotting groups.

The layout of this stately space has been designed to perfection: an impressive front terrace leads up to the grand double doored entrance which opens-up to a spacious light filled hall and original stone staircase. The ground floor and principal living area seems to be made up of never-ending rooms which intuitively flow from one space to the next: an impressive aristocratic sitting room with an open fireplace leads to a separate dining room and magnificent kitchen with travertine benches and a second casual dining area, perfect for indoor entertaining.

The Villa has five splendid double bedroom suites each with its own respective marble bathroom and built in wardrobes. For those looking to escape the midday heat there is a wonderful library room, a and walk in pantry to keep you nourished in body and mind. Fully ducted air conditioning completes the property along with security, a double drive entrance and a full laundry.

And that was just the interior! Villa Nobile sits in an impressive privately owned and tended Olive grove of some 120 olive trees. Additionally, the entire indoor space has a series of handsome French doors, all of which open-up onto a large paved outdoor area perfect for long overdue catch ups that spill out late into the night.

Not to mention the piece de la resistance being the large, inviting, grey stone saltwater infinity pool (16 x 5 m) with sweeping panoramic views over the picture postcard scenery below.
