TENUTA DI PRATELLO 18 - Tuscany

RECEPTIVE STRUCTURE. Located in the centre of the Val d’Era, not far from many of the most beautiful gems of this corner of Tuscany, like Peccioli, Volterra and San Gimignano, Tenuta di Pratello is surrounded by the elegant colours of the countryside and surrounding hills. The villa is located within an old hunting estate dating back to the 17th century, with its own little church and framed by the whole complex of buildings that have kept their original features. The estate extends for about 320 hectares, characterised by faunistic scenarios of original beauty such as woods and olive trees. Surrounding the villa is a Renaissance garden that has undergone meticulous renovations aimed at enhancing and embellishing the original architectural lines. The villa has three floors covering an area of about 500 sq m which, with its white façade, stands out majestically on the green lawns of the park. You can still breathe the air of times past, you can imagine the ladies going from one hall to another with their hair up and wearing the long, simple dresses of the time. On the ground floor is a professionally-equipped kitchen, able to satisfy all the guests' demands and all modern needs, and a second kitchen which, instead, has maintained its original characteristics, with terracotta floor and a focarile (fireplace) which, just by looking at it, seems to have stopped time. Following on is the dining room, sitting room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. On the first floor is a large relaxation area consisting of a sitting room and a large, brightly-lit room with a frescoed, vaulted ceiling containing a billiard table, three bedrooms with bathroom and a suite with hydromassage tub. On the second floor are six, recently renovated bedrooms with private bathrooms, all well-lit with clean modern lines. The interior of the villa, although renovated, has maintained the integrity of the original 17th century features with the floors ranging from terracotta, to wood, to Florentine ceramics that are increasingly rare to find; very brightly-lit where each window has its own unique view. The exterior has been organised to allow guests to dine outdoors or just relax on the lawn, to stroll in the Italian garden that emanates scents of roses and lavender. The property offers the most demanding client all the amenities he needs, with the swimming pool of simple design, surrounded by a beautiful green lawn maintained with attention to every aspect, and the regular-sized tennis court, both located about 350 m from the villa; there is also the possibility of arriving at the property by private plane as about 1.5 km from the property, an airfield of about 1000 m, 30 m wide with a hangar has been built. Here privacy and confidentiality are guaranteed absolutely. Please Note: when the property is rented in this solution no other guests will be present on site.
