| Farmhouses | Chianti near Florence | San Casciano Val Di Pesa |
This historic estate located in the Chianti Classico region and owned by Principe Corsini since the 1400's offers the opportunity to visit its historical winery and renaissance villa which was built in the 1600's. The estate has 100acres of vineyards and 13,000 olive trees spanning over its 600acre property.
Le Gugliaie, one of the farm houses at the "Fattoria Le Corti", was completely restored preserving its original structure and characteristics. The focal point of the house is the large kitchen with fireplace and the old wood burning oven where bread was baked. Every room has an en-suite bathroom and the master bedroom has a small ‘loggia' or balcony that overlooks the Villa. The garden layout, designed by Oliva di Collobiano, begins at the swimming pool and tapers off into the olive grove, almost as if it had no sense of continuity.
Lo Sperone, the other farmhouse, emerges on one side of the estate builing complex, near the entrance to the cellars.
Its name derives from the arrangement of its interior, which develops around a triangular shaped room. A private garden, equipped with all of the amenities for a pleasant outdoor breakfast, is accessed by a small exterior staircase. As in the previous description, the focal point of the house is the kitchen with fireplace, which was transformed into a living room and kitchenette. The bedrooms are situated on the second floor which is accessed by a steep stone staircase.
