Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1800
The farmhouse “Le Vigne” is situated on the outskirts of Reggello, only 25 Km south east of Florence, very close to most of the beautiful towns of Tuscany. At 350 meters above sea-level, it is set in unspoilt countryside with splendid landscapes, inside an important land estate, Farm “I Fali”, rich in olive groves and century old cypresses. The farmhouse was built in the nineteenth century according to the enlightened rules of Grand Duke Peter Leopold of Lorraine. Recently restored, the building has totally preserved its original characteristics: brick floors, stone pillars, stairs and thresholds; beamed ceilings, brick archways and vaulted loggias. Everything has remained authentic, to keep the original atmosphere. A long breathtaking cypress drive leads you to “Le Vigne”, this elegantly decorated and tastily furnished “agriturismo”.
Why the Owner Chose Reggello
A cattle herd grazes in the estate fields. It is also possible to have horse rides, as you can hire a horse in one of the several nearby riding schools. In the estate there is a rare and spectacular limestone formation, dominating the valley, called “i Calanchi di Corchi” . Staying at “Vigne” you can recreate and experience the suggestive atmosphere described by Virgil in the II book of The Georgics, praising country life: “At secura quies et nescia fallere vita, dives opum variarum, at latis otia fundis, speluncae vivique lacus et frigida Tempe mugitusque boum mollesque sub arbore somni non absunt” .
The Unique Benefits of this Farmhouse
On the "Le Vigne" estate, belonging to the Vanni Martelli family since generations, various kinds of valuable olive trees are grown. The "extra virgin" oil they issue is excellent and unadulterated, a very tasty dressing for any healthy food in your diet. The olives are hand picked and immediately grounded, after an attentive selection. The estate produced wine and olive oil are for sale.
