Villa Canto Alla Moraia 18

With its imposing appearance, Villa Canto alla Moraia can be seen at the end of a tree-lined drive, set in a large, peaceful park and framed by the gentle hilly landscape surrounded by vineyards and woods. Born as a military watchtower and transformed, over time, into a typical farmhouse, it is now an elegant country house available to guests looking for a luxurious residence with an ancient flavour and modern accessories. The refined renovation has preserved some of the elements that characterised the original construction, such as the doors and windows, the handmade terracotta floors, the exposed stone walls built according to the fortress style, the high ceilings with exposed beams and terracotta tiles and the barrel vault ceiling in the dining room. The interior furnishings, with period furniture and magnificent chandeliers, blend harmoniously with the architectural style of the rooms, enriched by numerous works of art. The property, surrounded by an extensive park and with a swimming pool for exclusive use that ensures privacy and discretion for the guests, is an excellent location for organising events and celebrations. The large prestigious farm estate in which the villa is set, of organic vocation, produces an exquisite wine which can be tasted directly at the fascinating cellar of the estate, together with other extraordinary products such as vin santo, grappa and extra virgin olive oil, made according to tradition and with respect for the environment. Located about 2 km from the borgo of Castiglion Fibocchi in the upper Valdarno, in a hilly area of great naturalistic importance on the outskirts of Chianti, Villa Canto alla Moraia will be an ideal starting point for visiting the beautiful Parco delle Foreste Casentinesi , the Pratomagno, the area of the balze (crags) and the numerous art localities in the surroundings, including the cities of Siena, Florence and Arezzo, the latter about 15 km away. The Emma Villas' Concierge Team can be reached for any emergencies, or further information you may require during your stay. All useful telephone numbers will be sent together with your booking documents.
Interior:

In the completely-fenced, 10-hectare park of Villa Canto alla Moraia are a vast vineyard, woods and a rich garden planted mainly with lawn with numerous relaxation areas embellished with well-kept vegetation. In the immediate vicinity of the two residential units (outside the main kitchen) is the dining area with a long table protected by umbrellas. A few steps away, near the swimming pool area, is an outdoor kitchen with barbecue, wood oven and sink; next to it is the pergola providing shade to a rustic table with benches. On one side of the pool is the large portico which can be set up for events and celebrations. In the property, equipped with an automatic access gate, is a large parking area.
Swimming Pool:

Lying in a beautiful panoramic position with an open view over the hilly landscape, the swimming pool can be reached from the villa (which is about 60 m away) across the garden (on a slightly downhill path) or down a spectacular flight of steps. The rectangular pool, measuring 8 x 15 m with a constant depth of 1.40 m, is lined in PVC and has salt purification, internal lights and steps for access to the water. Along the edge is the secluded lawn sunbathing area, equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas. In an adjacent annex, a beautiful stone structure with a vine-covered pergola, is a relaxation area, a fridge and two bathrooms with shower. The pool is open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October.
