Description
Property Summary
Nestled among the verdant hills east of Florence, Villa Leonardo is an exceptional vacation rental set within a beautifully restored 18th-century manor house in Incisa In Val D'arno, Italy. This elegant residence captivates from the very first glance, distinguished by its high-quality materials and refined finishes, with interiors adorned with antique furniture, elaborate tapestries, and magnificent chandeliers. Spread across three floors, the property combines historic grandeur with modern comfort, making it an ideal retreat for large groups, family gatherings, and exclusive events or ceremonies. The villa benefits from a generous enclosed park of approximately 6,000 square metres, offering guests an immersive experience in the Tuscan countryside. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, ensuring guests remain connected during their stay. A dedicated parking area located immediately after the entrance gate accommodates up to 14 cars, and an EV charging station is available on site for guests travelling with electric vehicles. The surrounding yard, with its lush lawns, mature trees, and carefully maintained gardens, provides a serene and private setting that perfectly complements the architectural splendour of the villa itself.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Villa Leonardo are as impressive as the interior, offering a variety of settings in which to relax, dine, and entertain. The vast enclosed park extends over 2 terraced levels in front of the villa entrances on both the ground floor and the first floor, encompassing approximately 6,000 square metres, of which 4,000 are lawn featuring more than 1,300 plants and tall trees. A constant breeze flows through the garden, encouraging guests to unwind in the peaceful surroundings, while the rich vegetation discreetly screens the proximity of the nearby motorway, though in certain climatic conditions a distant sound of traffic may occasionally be heard. Directly adjacent to the villa entrances, a veranda provides a charming setting for outdoor dining, while a comfortable seating area invites guests to linger in the open air. In front of the annex and overlooking the pool, a portico furnished with sofas and tables offers the perfect vantage point for enjoying an aperitif at sunset. The south-facing pool area lies in a panoramic position just a few steps from the annex and approximately 20 metres from the main villa, reached via a paved path bordered by flowering shrubs. The rectangular pool measures 6 by 12 metres with a depth of 1.50 metres and is lined in PVC with salt treatment purification, internal lights, Roman steps, and a ladder for water access. The expansive stone-paved and lawn sunbathing area surrounding the pool is equipped with sunbeds, deckchairs, umbrellas, and tables.
