DESCRIPTION :         
The Villa was built in 1600 by the senatorial Rinuccini family of Florence, both to live in during the warmer months of the year and for the administration of the estates they had acquired. Currently the main building, with an adjoining secondary body, houses 4 units for a surface of about 1,600 square meters located in a panoramic position that frames the small rural village that surrounds it. The rooms respect the style of the Tuscan aristocratic residences, spacious and bright living rooms with original terracotta floors and coffered or vaulted ceilings. The villa is internally divided as follows: Ground floor: 2 living rooms, 1 dining room, 1 kitchen, 1 bathroom and other services available. 1st floor : 8 double bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. 2nd Floor : Attic used as storage room. Basement: Reception hall with cross vaults and 2 bathrooms. Outdoor spaces: Garden, secular park and private swimming pool (10 x 6 m). Inside the Borgo there are another 15 flats arranged in 5 farmhouses with typical Tuscan architecture, a reception room with technical rooms and a shed in support of the natural hunting reserve overlooking the hills of Volterra. The property is completed by three swimming pools serving the Villa and the farmhouses and two lakes, the largest of about 8,000 sqm and the other of about 1,000 sqm with beautiful water lilies.
San Gimignano, a historical town in Tuscany, has its origins in 63 B.C. when two young Roman patricians, fleeing from Rome, built the castle of Silvia in Val D'Elsa, around which the town developed.
The town experienced its most flourishing period in the Middle Ages, thanks to the fact that it was crossed by the Via Francigena, one of the main communication routes of the time. In fact, San Gimignano soon became a point of reference for numerous traders, travellers and pilgrims. Involved, then, in the struggles between the Guelphs and Ghibellines, the town resisted every kind of adversity, managing to become considerably richer and seeing in 1200 the year of its greatest economic development. With a historical centre characterised by medieval architecture, San Gimignano is famous above all for the seventy towers built by the richest families of the time, of which fourteen still exist and which characterise the town centre, standing out against the suggestive panorama of the endless green Tuscan hills dotted with vineyards and olive groves. A small pearl of the Sienese province, this village, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1990, offers, in addition to its history and culture expressed by its monuments, excellent local products such as saffron and Vernaccia di San Gimignano, an excellent local white wine.
