LA QUERCIA ESTATE, QUINTESSENTIAL ITALIAN EXPERIENCE

Located only 12 km (8 miles) south of Florence, on a 20 acres private estate, this two-story shingled traditional Tuscan villa dates back to 17th century. After a complete renovation, this luxurious property provides now a great space, modern comfort and privacy, while still reflecting the quintessential ideal of the Tuscan country house. The exquisite décor of the interiors exudes an understated elegance. The preserved original fine details and materials, such as old terracotta bricks, the stone façade, the big open-hearth fireplace and wood beamed ceilings, welcome the guests in a timeless, serene and magical retreat.
