Overview
A stunning 17th century villa within very easy reach of San Gimignano and Siena with Florence about 45 minutes away. Offering magnificent views with a private park laced with secular cypress tress, pond, fountains and terraces, all enclosed within the walls surrounding the property. Once owned by the Countess Theo Zorzi, married to Count Franchini Stappo of Florence, who painted the various frescoes through the villa in the 1920’s creating its own personality. Such does the façade with various marble antique objets d’arte and a window dating from the 14th century from a convent making Il Cardinale a truly unique villa. The present owner has endeavoured to preserve the many beautiful aspects which lead to its charm and history. Once the stable: the very functional and well equipped kitchen with an oval wooden bar and dining table is a prefect setting to entertain guests with aperitifs beneath vaulted ceilings. The sitting rooms on the ground floor one with a 17th century Fortepiano. French doors lead out onto the loggia with barbecue, ideal for al fresco dining. The private swimming pool is set on a lower terrace with a summer kitchen, changing room and WC. The extensive grounds offer stunning views including Castellina in Chianti. |
