Casa Riseccoli, Greve in Chianti - Florence

Immersed within a landscape of expansive Tuscan utopia, Casa Riseccoli is an exceptionally comfortable villa with an ideal balance of modern convenience and authentic farmhouse styles. The gardens surrounding the house have paths leading down to the pool, all lined with fragrant herbs and shrubs, and with exceptional views across the hills and valleys from all sides. A spacious sheltered terrace is set in a cool area lined with stone walls and terracotta ceilings with exposed beams. Here you’ll also find a dining table with 8 chairs, a pair of comfortable sofas and a stone pizza oven.

Inside, you’ll find a villa decorated with exquisite taste. The furniture has an air of unmistakable sophistication, with plush blue sofas and sturdy wooden tables, all with a country-style design. Striking renaissance art hangs on the walls of the reception areas, and the elegant decorative fireplace also houses a long cushion for extra seating. Meanwhile, the bedrooms have a welcoming and cosy atmosphere, equipped with either a cushioned headboard, or four-poster gossamer curtains.

Our Thoughts
A sleek villa with distinct pastoral charm and classy designs. It’s hard to say what we were particularly impressed by, because it’s a delightful place from top to bottom. Nonetheless, the location is certainly worth praising in its own right, with gorgeous views all around, and bountiful decorative plant-life. The terrace is another stunning feature – a cool and exceptionally comfortable hideout with plenty of place to lounge and dine, and with a pizza oven to the side. Meanwhile, the interiors are spacious and full of character. All this - combined with being just a short drive from Greve in Chianti – makes Casa Riseccoli a real winner.
