For several centuries, Poggiofattore was the active centre of an olive-growing estate until its present owners fell in love with the views from the building’s hilltop position and acquired the property as a country retreat.

The farm is characterised by a series of stone terraces deliberately built to delimit the areas around the house and the swimming pool

Their recent restoration work has preserved much of the original structure, both inside and out, and the result is charming and impeccably maintained - a property that has never failed to please.

Clever landscaping, including pietra serena terracing around the house and the gated swimming pool, emphasises the breathtaking views of olive groves, rolling hills, mountains and distant villages.

Olive growing, picking and pressing are, in fact, the major activities in this area, second only to the consumption of the many local specialities in which olives are the key ingredients.

The villa lies at the end of a long, private road through a large estate, ensuring complete privacy.

The location of the farm is a perfect departure point to explore central Tuscany.

Location:

The Villa is located on the Chianti hills; the nearest town at only 6 km is Bucine. Bucine is a nice little town with pharmacy, grocery stores, lovely churche, restaurants, shops and train station.

Bucine medieval castle was built over 1.000 years ago to gain control over the Ambra valley and protect the strategically important trade route between Valdarno and Siena.

From the villa a beautiful road leads into Ambra Valley and bring to Siena.

Montevarchi is the neares big town; the history of Montevarchi dates back to circa 986, when pilgrims and travelers stopped here on their way to and from Rome.

Within 30/40 kms there are Florence, Arezzo and Siena (the first two comfortably reachable also by train from the station of Bucine that is less than 10 minutes by car).

This is a land where, more than any other place, tradition and daily life exist side by side in perfect harmony.

Montevarchi, situated in the midst of what is known as unspoiled “wine country” - with its vineyards, olive trees, castles, medieval hilltop villages and churches - is one of the more lively towns south of Florence.

Today the area is famous for its contribution to the international fashion industry and boasts the location of prestigious fashion outlets like Prada and "The Mall"
