  • Description


    Welcome to Il Colto, a charming 6-bedroom villa located in Tuscany, Italy.

    Il Colto is a stunning villa located atop a picturesque hill with a rich history dating back to prehistoric times. This hill, once part of an ancient marshland, was known during Roman times as the site of a prestigious patrician residence along the road to Le Ville. The villa itself has evolved from a lookout tower for a nearby castle to a family home, and was once owned by the illustrious Medici family from Florence.

    This charming villa spans three floors and features 6 bedrooms—3 doubles and 3 twins (one of the twins can be converted to a double)—and 5 bathrooms, offering ample space for large groups. The villa is nestled in the countryside, just outside a small town, making it an ideal base for exploring the renowned destinations of Florence (50 mins), Chianti, Arezzo (30 mins), and Siena (1 hour).

    Set within a beautiful 2-hectare garden, Il Colto offers sweeping views of the surrounding countryside and the nearby town. The garden includes rare botanicals, such as Lebanese lime trees, ancient cypress trees, and a variety of fruit trees, thanks to the expertise of a previous owner. An outdoor pool (8 x 4 meters) is located near the house on a sun-drenched terrace, accessible from the living/dining area through glass doors. A BBQ area by the pool is perfect for al fresco dining.

    The villa is equipped with all the amenities needed for a memorable stay and features large grounds that slope down into serene olive groves and orchards. A local town with shops, a supermarket, restaurants, and bars is just 1 km away, providing easy access to everyday conveniences. For added privacy, one of the owners resides in an adjacent barn, ensuring guests enjoy a peaceful and well-cared-for experience.
