Our Thoughts
Full of character and authentic rustic atmosphere, Antico Cipresso is perfect for a small family. Both the interior and the exterior have lots of space to lounge and roam, whether it’s in the comfy lounge, amongst the expansive olive groves or beside the pool. The terrace boasts fantastic views of the forest-covered hills. What’s more, the villa is well-placed for visits to Florence and Siena, which are just an hour’s drive away. Smaller historic towns such as the exquisite Greve in Chianti are even closer.
