Description

PODERE SICELLE - BARBERINO TAVARNELLE

7 Bedrooms

Location and Surrounding Area
Nestled in the tranquil Tuscan countryside, this magnificent seven-bedroom property is ideally positioned to explore the region’s cultural highlights and spectacular natural wonders. Offering stunning views of the surrounding greenery, this exclusive villa provides a perfect base for unforgettable day trips to Tuscany’s most beautiful towns, while allowing you to immerse yourself in the region’s rich historical and cultural heritage.

The villa is just a short distance from San Gimignano, one of Italy’s best-preserved medieval towns. From afar, San Gimignano resembles a town from a Renaissance painting: a circle of 13th-century walls encircling tall, teetering stone towers. Its towers are instantly recognisable, but the art treasures within are equally remarkable. Despite its small size, the town offers enough art, architecture, and fine food to keep you engaged for more than one day.

The villa is also a few kilometres from Florence, a treasure trove of art with a remarkable contemporary vibe. Beyond its extraordinary artistic heritage, Florence’s centuries of civilisation are best enjoyed by strolling along the riverside avenues at sunset or wandering through the myriad alleyways of the bohemian Oltrarno or the narrow streets of San Niccolò, where you feel transported back in time among its centuries-old walls.

A few kilometres from the villa lies the medieval town of Siena. Its ancient red brick buildings, the scallop-shaped main square Piazza del Campo, and the Cathedral Square, dominated by the zebra-striped Duomo, make it an absolute must-visit. Siena, effectively an open-air museum celebrating Gothic architecture, boasts secular monuments that have preserved their medieval forms and exceptional art collections.

Within an hour’s drive, you can reach Volterra, one of Tuscany’s most dramatic hilltop towns. Despite its numerous attractions, Volterra sees fewer tourists than other Tuscan towns, allowing you to explore its winding stone streets and ancient sites without the crowds. Founded by the Etruscans and surrounded by medieval walls, Volterra’s historic centre is filled with fascinating Roman ruins, medieval buildings, and alabaster workshops.

Podere Sicelle is 43 km from Florence Amerigo Vespucci International Airport, 94 km from Pisa Galileo Galilei International Airport, 136 km from Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport, and 309 km from Rome Leonardo da Vinci International Airport. Panzano is 8 km from the villa, San Gimignano is 31 km, Florence is 41 km, Siena is 50 km, Volterra is 53 km, Arezzo is 101 km, Pienza is 101 km, Montepulciano is 109 km, Pisa is 121 km, and Perugia is 153 km.

The Property
Built in the 15th century and once a fortress used by the Florentines to protect against the marauding Sienese, Podere Sicelle is unique in Renaissance history and offers an oasis of tranquillity just a stone’s throw from Florence. With breathtaking views over the green Tuscan hills, the property is an ideal setting for a holiday with family and friends. Set on a gentle hill, this magnificent villa has been masterfully restored. Offering an elegant atmosphere, Podere Sicelle can accommodate fourteen guests in seven double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, spread across the main villa and the guest house.

Surrounded by a generous garden designed by Italy’s leading sustainable gardener, the property boasts an exclusive infinity pool and a spacious paved poolside area with comfortable sun loungers. The poolside area provides an idyllic spot for basking in the sun while enjoying the stunning views of the countryside. Outdoors, you will also find a barbecue area complete with a pizza oven and a fire pit, perfect for socialising while enjoying the panorama. The property also features a tennis court and a gym serviced by adjoining bathrooms and washrooms in a separate tennis pavilion.

With a blend of period charm and modern comfort, this splendid private estate comprises a main villa and a guest house that have been carefully restored with travertine and terracotta floors, bespoke kitchens with European appliances, and Carrara marble bathrooms. The main villa features a kitchen and butler’s pantry with Gaggenau appliances, two dishwashers, and multiple fridges and cooktops, ideal for preparing Tuscan feasts with the help of your own personal chef. Meals can be enjoyed in the dining room or in the adjoining loggia, which offers spectacular sunset views.

Filled with fabulous modern furniture and exposed wooden beams, the main villa includes areas designed for leisure time with your guests. It features four double bedrooms with air conditioning and en-suite bathrooms with showers – one of which also has a free-standing bathtub. The villa includes three bedrooms upstairs and one downstairs, a formal lounge room, a living room with TV, and a winter garden. One of the upstairs bedrooms features a freestanding bathtub and a shower in the bathroom.

The guest house has three double bedrooms with air conditioning and en-suite bathrooms with showers, a living room, a dining room, and a kitchen. It also features a full-size snooker room and a wellness area with a steam room and a Jacuzzi for six people. Air conditioning is available in every bedroom, the gym, and the billiard room. The main villa has underfloor heating throughout, the guest house has radiator heating in all rooms, and the wellness area has radiator heating while the gym has reverse cycle heating.
