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 while providing easy access to the region’s cultural highlights and spectacular natural wonders. Enjoying a privileged position between Florence and Siena, Villa Babette is the ultimate location for day trips to Tuscany’s most beautiful towns and offers a unique opportunity to admire its iconic landscapes while soaking up the region’s rich historical and cultural heritage.
The villa is just a stone’s throw from Florence, home to some of the world’s greatest artistic treasures. Key sites in Florence include the Duomo, the Baptistery, the Uffizi Gallery, 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 explore the vibrant Oltrarno district. Here, you can stroll the same streets walked by Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Botticelli, while enjoying some of the world’s best gelato.
In just an hour by car, you can reach Siena, one of Italy’s most charming medieval towns. The heart of Siena is the magnificent Piazza del Campo, famous for the lively Palio horse race held twice a year in July and August. The Campo is dominated by the Palazzo Pubblico and its Torre del Mangia, from which you can enjoy panoramic views of the town. Siena is effectively an open-air museum celebrating the Gothic, boasting both spiritual and secular monuments that retain their medieval forms and exceptional art collections.
The villa is also an hour’s drive from Lucca, known as “the city of 100 churches.” Hidden behind imposing Renaissance walls, its cobbled streets, delightful piazzas, and shady promenades make it an ideal destination for exploring on foot. In less than an hour and a half’s drive, you can also visit Pisa, renowned for its iconic Leaning Tower. After climbing the steps to admire the breathtaking views, continue your visit to other marvels in the Piazza dei Miracoli, including 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.
