Villa OLD OAK TREE is a beautiful, private 30-acre estate hidden away in Chianti, the heart      of Tuscany, mid way between Florence and Siena which are both just over half an hour away by car.

The ultimate in privacy and independence, both the exterior and interiors of this fine old farmhouse have been immaculately restored to a very high standard by its interior design owner. Every detail of the restoration has been carried out with total respect for nature and to preserve its Tuscan heritage.

The house is beautifully decorated throughout with terracotta floors, whitewashed walls and beamed ceilings.

The bedrooms are attractively furnished with four poster beds and enjoy beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.

Each of the six bedrooms has its own private bathroom graciously decorated with very old gilted mirror frames and antique lamps. The upper bedrooms all have air-conditioning, combining charm and tradition with contemporary comfort.

The living areas are colourful and furnished with high-quality fabrics, antiques, fine custom linens and table ware.

The large state-of-the-art kitchen leads onto a terrace, where a large pergola overlooking the garden and the swimming pool keeps it cool in summer and provides shade for outside dining and al fresco meals. The modern amenities include a fully equipped kitchen, washing and drying machines, satellite television, remote-controlled gate entrance, phone, fax and HP computer colour printer.

The house is accessed along  700 meters of a private dirt track road and surrounded by an extensive and well-tended garden that rolls gently downward from the house towards the swimming pool, which is situated among sloping green lawns and fruit trees.

Near the swimming pool (12 x 6 m) and around the garden and terraces, there is an abundance of outdoor furniture, teak pool furniture, wrought iron and rattan settees, benches and chairs, marble tables and sun umbrellas for shade.

The property enjoys a spectacular view over a 10th century castle and a panorama of typical Chianti countryside with rolling hills, vineyards, olive groves, cypresses and distant farmland.

The estate itself comprises 350 olive trees, over 100 walnut trees, a small river delineating its southern boundaries and several hectares of forest providing fantastic shade in the summer.

Villa the Old oak tree is a refined and elegant estate, ideal for an extended family or a group of friends looking for spacious accommodation, comfort, privacy and fabulous views.

Even when occupied by 12 people, the house feels spacious yet cosy by blending.
