Surrounding Areakeyboard_double_arrow_up

Just 30 minutes north-east of Florence in a lesser known part of the Chianti area (Rufina), Villa Luciano is a comfortable 18th century country villa with a beautiful terraced garden and large swimming pool. It dominates the village of Londa, set on the hill and overlooking the valley. This location is really excellent for visiting Florence, the northern part of Tuscany and parts of Emilia Romagna. We are at the foot of the Mugello Hills in Valdisieve , the pre-Alpine area of Tuscany and Emilia. Here you can find traces of a history worthy of a great European capital and the small towns which have sprung up along the River Sieve, previously an important Etruscan region and then the site of Roman colonies

A stone staircase from the entry foyer leads to the main floor and a landing hall (first floor). At the top is a pleasant sunroom/verandah which opens to a small courtyard and a few steps up to the garden and pool. On this floor is the formal and very elegant dining room with fireplace and French doors to a furnished, terraced garden. Adjacent is an eat-in kitchen/breakfast room with a corner fireplace, ideal for grilling and barbecuing, large fridge and freezer, electric oven, four gas stove-top burners, dishwasher. The living rooms are very spacious, divided into three separate areas with a reading room/study and lounge, all furnished with sofas, armchairs, and a corner with card table. There is a second kitchen on this floor with wall oven, dishwasher, gas burners. In the oldest part of the villa is the original sitting room with a beautiful 300 year old stone fireplace and TV. This is furnished in a more casual manner and two French doors from this living room open to a foot balcony with steps leading to the formal gardens. There are lovely views from here. Small WC.
On the second floor are the bedrooms which are divided into two separate apartments. One offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms as follows: one queen bedroom with sitting room and ensuite bathroom with tub and hand-held shower, another queen bedroom with small dressing room, a bathroom with Jacuzzi and shower and one twin bedroom sharing this bathroom with the queen bedroom.
The other apartment, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, is comprised of a twin bedroom more suitable for children, corridor to a large bathroom with tub and hand-held shower, a second twin bedroom for children with built-in closets and crib, second bathroom and separate WC.
On the top (third floor) in the tower is the penthouse suite with parquet floors, offering one queen bedroom with exercise equipment, a pink marble bathroom with shower, and a single child’s bedroom. The villa is thus excellent accommodation for two families giving each family its own sleeping quarters and, if necessary, its own kitchen.
Furnishings are comfortable and elegant, offering spacious and excellent accommodation with a warm family atmosphere. Floors are in terracotta or tiles and beamed ceilings are visible in most rooms. The garden and pool areas are very enjoyable, with plenty of sunny and shady areas, and panorama on the surrounding hills and the village. Large terracotta pots and urns, full of colorful flowers, are scattered throughout the garden. The persimmon trees are a beautiful spectacle in autumn and offer a cool retreat with a book on a hot day. There is also a formal Italian garden with fountain and the vast estate offers the possibility of long walks through the surrounding woods.
