Tuscan Villas and Chianti tours

In the winter  Francesca, Olivia and I, usually do our homework  that consists of  strolling  through the Tuscany countryside to try new places, wineries and restaurants  to include in our special list

  

Today we went to a gorgeous Villa, a few steps from Florence,  which belonged to the Medici family, and formerly it was an 11th century royal hunting lodge; in the 17th Francesco Maria dè i Medici purchased the property and then  transformed  into a farm in  1836 by the actual owner

The villa is very beautiful, and from the terrace you can see  even the  Brunelleschi's Dome , the hill top town of Fiesole,  the countryside , the cypress  trees,  the vineyards,  the olives trees.

The villa owns 70 hectares of vineyards and 8000 olive trees .... are you curious to know more ...?
