Casa Guardia Italy

At Casa Guardia, a holiday villa in the heart of Tuscany, you can enjoy a private garden and a gazebo perfect for al fresco dining, as well as the estate’s large swimming pool, grass tennis court, organic vegetable garden and mountain bikes. The property, once in the Medici family, includes an incredible wine cellar; book a guided tour and a wine tasting.
This 17th century villa sleeps six in three double bedrooms (all en-suite!) over two floors. The warmly coloured tile floors and beamed ceiling feel like a traditional Tuscan villa, but you’ll appreciate the fireplace, Satellite TV and free Wi-Fi in the living room. The fully equipped modern kitchen includes a dishwasher, oven and microwave for easy cooking and cleaning.
Though there’s plenty to do on the grounds, outdoor enthusiasts will find horse riding, polo and golf nearby. Relax in refreshing thermal baths, and see the beautiful pastures and vineyards of the Val d’Ambra via mountain bike. The charming hilltop village of Montebenichi (3 km) features beautiful medieval architecture and has a splendid osteria if you’d like to try traditional Tuscan fare.
Casa Guardia sits between Siena (35 km), Arezzo (40 km) and Florence (80 km). Casa Guardia lies nestled among the pastures and vineyards of Montebenichi, which borders the Chianti Classico region. It is a stunning location that showcases the beauty of the Tuscan countryside. The sun setting behind the Chianti hills is an unforgettable sight.
Pietro Leopoldo de’ Medici, the grand duke of Tuscany, loved the Val d’Ambra because it is a beautiful valley, full of agriculture and traditional Italian farmhouses. Rural farming estates continue to be an integral part of the Val d’Ambra landscape.
The property is an ancient abode of the Medici family that has been completely restored and is surrounded by beautiful scenery. Located between Siena, Arezzo and Florence, it is understandable why the Medici family considered it one of their most prestigious properties. Today, in addition to the production of wine, the estate offers luxury accommodation and a beautiful setting for rest and relaxation.
