VILLA BABETTE - SAN CASCIANO
6 Bedrooms
Location and Surrounding Area
Immersed in the peaceful Tuscan countryside and situated in the heart of Chianti, this exclusive property is ideally located to offer complete privacy to its guests and to explore the region’s cultural highlights and most spectacular natural wonders. Enjoying a privileged position between Florence and Siena, Villa Babette represents the ultimate location for day trips to the most beautiful towns in Tuscany and provides a unique opportunity to admire its iconic landscapes while soaking up the region’s incredibly rich historical and cultural heritage.
The villa is just a stone’s throw away from Florence, whose museums house the greatest artistic treasures in the world. The most important sites in Florence include the Duomo, the Baptistery, the Uffizi, and the Churches of Santa Maria Novella and Santa Croce. Wander the ancient streets of the city until you reach the Arno River, cross the Ponte Vecchio and experience the newest area of Florence, the Oltrarno. Where else can you stroll the same streets walked by Michelangelo, Leonardo and Botticelli, while savoring the world’s best gelato?
In just one hour by car, you can easily reach Siena, Italy’s loveliest medieval town, whose heart is represented by the magnificent Piazza del Campo, scene of the lively Palio horse race, which is held twice a year in July and August. The Campo is dominated by the Palazzo Pubblico and its Torre del Mangia, from which it is possible to admire the view of the town. Effectively a giant, open-air museum celebrating the Gothic, Siena boasts spiritual and secular monuments that have retained both their medieval forms and their exceptional art collections, providing plenty to marvel at.
The villa is also a one-hour drive from Lucca, also known as “the city of 100 churches”: hidden behind imposing Renaissance walls, its cobbled streets, delightful piazzas and shady promenades make it a perfect destination to explore on foot. In less than an hour and a half’s drive, you can also reach Pisa, exceptionally well-known for its famous Leaning Bell Tower. After having climbed all the steps up to the top of the tower to admire the breathtaking view of the town, continue your visit to other monuments in the marvelous Piazza dei Miracoli, such as the Cathedral, the Baptistery and the Monumental Cemetery.
Villa Babette is 35 km from Florence Amerigo Vespucci International Airport and 76 km from Pisa Galileo Galilei International Airport. Florence is 27 km from the villa, San Gimignano is 40 km, Siena is 59 km, Volterra is 63 km, Pisa is 81 km and Lucca is 92 km.
