What a beautiful property! Outstanding!! The pictures just don't do it justice. The remote location could possibly be a detraction to some, but we all loved it! Remote, bucolic, in the middle of vineyards and olive groves, the occasional sheep herd wandering by - who could ask for better from Tuscany? It is close enough to a town (Vinci) for all the necessities - good restaurants, wineries, groceries (like the locals, not a supermarket!) and the Vinci museum was certainly a destination stop. Empoli is close enough as well, with more shopping opportunities and variety. Best of both worlds!
Plenty of room for 3 - 5 couples, with opportunities for even bigger crowds (or receptions) with HUGE common spaces: kitchen and dining table and 2 living areas.
The new infinity pool - not pictured on the listing yet, was breath-taking - a total surprise. Though still not finished, it was functional, and when landscaping and lighting are completed, will be an outstanding feature of this property, only excelled by, yet complimenting the views.
The winery on site (by owner) is a must see as well - also a surprise!
The kitchen itself was in keeping with the age of the property - a little dated and under-served, adequate for our needs, but could sue some modernization. in the absence of an espresso machine, a new American-style coffee pot would go a long way.
