"I Grandi Di Toscana" is a traditional Tuscan
farm estate set amongst olive groves and vineyards in the
heart of the Val di Chiana. Recently restored into a luxury retreat,
the estate offers beautifully restored holiday apartments and master
suites as well as a large swimming pool, health spa, 2-hole golf course
"pitch and put" and private country walking trails.
The property is set in the most beautiful and relaxing
position with stunning panoramic views across the rolling countryside
to Cortona in the distance and the low mountains rising up behind Arezzo.
The 62 hectare property, owned by the “ Grifoni “ family since
1850, was originally a working farm producing wines and olive oil.
Today, not only have the main farm buildings been meticulously
restored, by the well known Architect Giovanni Rupi, but the main “
Fattoria” has also been re-built and brought back to life, producing
its own high quality DOCG wine and oil once more.The presence of the
Grifoni name is evident as you enter the impressive wrought iron gates,
where a bronze griffin is perched on each side, leading you up the
cypress lined driveway.
The property is a walk’s distance away from Ciggiano,
a small village named in documents dating back to the eleventh century.
Here one can find basic services, as well as a bar and restaurant.
There is a grape, wine and oil festival, held in September
that presents a variety of local products from the area, which is
famous for these products.
The beautiful medieval villages of Monte San Savino
and Civitella in Val di Chiana are a few kilometres
away by car and offer a good selection of shops, restaurants, bars and
local handicrafts; these villages feature a lively community and active
cultural scene, with theatrical performances, concerts and festivals
all year round.
The property can also offer excellent connections to railways
and motorways, all within 10 to 15 minutes distance,
with easy access to Florence, Rome
and the other main historical and cultural centres of central Italy.
