San Casciano in Val di Pesa Vacation Rental chateau / country house

Archipettoli (di Sotto) is a magnificent country estate, situated between Florence and Siena, in the heart of Chianti, who’s oldest part dates back to the 13 century. It belonged to the Cavalcanti, and then became property of the Strozzi families, particularly of Filippo Strozzi. The country house stands alone on a lovely hill, in perfectly quite surroundings amongst olive groves, vineyards and a large garden with a magnificent view on the typical Tuscan countryside. Archipettoli has been cleverly restored to offer a very well equipped family home. It is extremely comfortable and an ideal base for exploring the cultural heritage of Tuscany. The 14 acres of private gardens slope gently down to a large swimming pool, nestling in the olive groves, set amidst extensive lawns bordered with flowers. The views to Apennines and Apuan Alps are spectacular. Special mention must be made of the outside covered terrace, ideal for admiring magnificent sunsets. Highly recommended for all year.
