Discretely positioned halfway between Montespertoli and San Casciano Val di Pesa, this villa is a tranquil sanctuary just 40 minutes away from the vibrant city of Florence.

Accessed via a private half-mile dirt road, Villa Leonardo is enveloped by meticulously landscaped gardens that gently slope downward from the main house toward a splendid swimming pool. This oasis amidst sloping green lawns and fruit-laden trees beckons guests to unwind and savor the Tuscan sun. The outdoor spaces abound with various furnishings, including teak poolside recliners, wrought-iron and rattan lounges, benches, chairs, marble tables, and sun umbrellas for those seeking respite in the shade.

The estate commands a breathtaking panorama, capturing the 10th-century castle in its gaze. At the same time, the Chianti countryside unfolds in all its glory—rolling hills, vineyards, olive groves, majestic cypresses, and distant farmland. The grounds are graced by 350 olive trees, over 100 walnut trees, a meandering river marking the southern boundary, and acres of woodland, offering cool respite during the balmy summer months.
