In the heart of Chianti Classico, halfway between Florence and Siena, set on a hill about 370 m above sea level with a breathtaking view of the Castello del Nero, dotted with rows of cypresses, holm oaks, olive trees and vineyards that stretch as far as the eye can see, is Villa I Levrieri. This 17th century property, once part of the Castello del Nero, contained the furnace for producing the bricks for the construction of the entire estate. The owner has extracted from this the living room with central fireplace, leaving the structure unchanged. The interior is characterised by ceilings with exposed beams alternating with brick vaults while the floors are in original terracotta. The charm of the furnishings chosen personally by the owner lets you breathe a completely authentic atmosphere. The structure is divided into two apartments. On the first floor, a large kitchen, a living area with two sitting rooms and direct access to the external portico make this part of the villa extremely habitable and ideal for relaxing and dining. From the portico, an external staircase leads down to the ground floor apartment. The area in which the villa is located, certainly among the most renowned in Italy, is the ideal place from where to start exploring the cultural, historical and natural beauties that characterise Tuscany, such as Siena, Florence, Lucca, Pisa and the small towns of Chianti. Villa I Levrieri is located in a very quiet residential area about 2 km from the borgo of Tavarnelle Val di Pesa, conveniently served by bars, restaurants and shops.
