Description:Archipettoli is a magnificent country estate, situated between Florence and Siena, with 14 acres of private landscaped gardens is uniquely located as if perched on top of the hill in the middle of the typical Tuscan countryside with its rows of vineyards and groves of olive trees. From its location the villa enjoys a breathtaking, panoramic view, extending on one side to the Appenines towards the Adriatic and on the other side in the direction of the Thyrrenian coast. r nArchipettolis oldest part dates back to the 13 century. It belonged to the noble Florentine families of Cavalcanti and Filippo Strozzi the Younger. Confiscated by the 1st Duke of Florence, Alessandro de` Medici, in 1599 was sold to the Spedale di Santa Maria Nuova in Florence, which held it for several centuries before returning as a property to the Strozzi family. r nArchipettoli is an ideal base for exploring the cultural heritage of Tuscany. It lies just a few minutes from the town of San Casciano Val di Pesa, made important by its proximity to the Via Cassia (road still bearing the name of the principle Roman route), along which one can admire sites of both historic and artistic importance and 30 minutes south of Florence. r n r nThe villa has been cleverly restored to offer a comfortable, very well equipped family home. r n r nArchipettoli consists of a ground floor and two upper floors.

Located between Siena and Florence and known above all for its good wine, Chianti is dotted with pretty hill top towns and villages, green hills, undulating rows of vines, olive groves and swathes of pine and ancient oak. A perfect base for sightseeing, countryside pursuits and shopping trips. r n r nFlorence, the capital of Tuscany, certainly ranks among the architecturally most important cities of the world. Founded in 59 ac, the city has been a thriving cultural center of Europe for hundreds of years. The marks of this era can still be seen everywhere. Some of the major sights are the cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore form the 13th century, Ponte Vecchio, the eldest bridge in town, which is bordered by medieval buildings, and Piazza della Signoria, where a copy of Michelangelo's David has been put up. The Uffizi Gallery, one of the most famous galleries in the world, shows numerous important works of art. A walk out of the city centre and up on a hill to the Piazzale Michelangelo is recommendable. From there, one can enjoy stunning views of the Old Town, the cupola of the cathedral, the river Arno and Ponte Vecchio. r n r nSiena is high on the list of day trips in Tuscany as it is brimming with beauty, culture, Renaissance art and architecture. Highly recommended is a visit to the central piazza or 'Campo', the location of the famous Palio horse race, it's colourful cathedral, pretty shops and excellent restaurants.
