Nestled in the heart of Tuscany's Chianti Classico wine region, Villa Realgrande offers a captivating blend of history, art, and modern luxury. Located just a stone's throw from Florence, this magnificent 15th-century villa, commissioned by the Machiavelli family and influenced by the renowned Michelangelo, boasts an unrivaled charm.
Encompassing a sprawling 600-acre estate adorned with thriving vineyards and olive groves, the villa has made a name for itself with its distinguished wines. Inside, a treasure trove of antiques and paintings creates an atmosphere akin to a noble castle, yet guests can revel in contemporary amenities like a spa, gym, indoor pool, and two outdoor pools. The interiors are opulent and spacious, adorned with a private collection of contemporary art, preserving the ambiance of a luxurious, private residence.
Ten uniquely designed rooms and suites offer breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside, lush gardens, or verdant vineyards. The main villa immerses guests in original Renaissance art, while the guest villa features private plunge pools.
The villa's spa is a haven of tranquility, where mind, body, and spirit find rejuvenation in three exquisitely decorated private treatment rooms. An elegantly designed indoor heated pool offers the perfect setting for relaxation or a leisurely swim, complemented by a state-of-the-art steam room and sauna. The use of holistic beauty products ensures a truly indulgent spa experience.
Immerse yourself in the heart and soul of Tuscany through the villa's culinary classes, where food, history, and culture come together in a delightful experience. These cooking lessons go beyond ingredients and techniques, emphasizing the joy of savoring food and wine from the very act of preparation.
With its classical beauty, rich history, and idyllic countryside setting near Florence, Villa Realgrande provides an enchanting backdrop for corporate events, family gatherings, and romantic weddings. This estate weaves together the essence of Tuscany, making it a place where memories are made and cherished.
