The stately 750 sqm /
8070 sqft Villa Petrolo is the crown jewel of the Fattoria Petrolo estate located within walking distance of the town of Mercatale Valdarno.
Villa Petrolo was built by renowned architect Massimiliano Soldani as his own residence, between 1700 and 1750.
The Villa has a vast private garden of over 1 hectar, a 6 x 12 meter private swimming pool and a tennis court for the exclusive use of the villa's guests and surrounded by centuries-old cypresses.
The interior of this Petrolo is primarily furnished with beautiful Tuscan antiques, and both old school masterpieces and modern paintings grace its walls.
Villa Petrolo is perfect for family reunions and weddings.
Dominating the countryside and landmark of this large estate, is the Tower of Galatrona the foundations of which date back to the Etruscans and Romans.
The Tower itself lends its name to Petrolo’s outstanding wines, the "Torrione" (meaning "big tower): and the "Galatrona".
Petrolo’s manor house, The Villa, overlooks the ancient Romanesque Pieve (parish church) of Galatrona, which houses precious works by Giovanni della Robbia. |
Petrolo is famous for its production of wines, extra virgin olive oil and honey; a visit to the wine cellars and traditional olive-mill are a must !
