The property of 'Poderi Val Verde' extends over 86.5 ha (approx. 300 acres) and is part of the natural resort of 'Oasis del Chianti,' the only no-hunting zone in the area with an amazing variety of fauna and flora. An island of absolute peace and privacy and the perfect starting point for short or long trekking and hiking tours on trails and 'white' roads through the world famous vineyards, forests and olive groves of the Chianti Classico region.

Its close location to the main highways makes it perfect for all kinds of day excursions to places like Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, Greve, Lucca, Pisa and even for extended day trips to Rome (3 hrs. drive) or Venice (3 hrs.). The house is surrounded by a large, well-maintained garden with hundreds of flower pots, ornamental trees (pomegranite, olive, fig, etc.) and citrus fruit trees. Within the neighboring 'Poderi Val Verde' compound there is also a playground with a soccer pitch, basketball hoop, volleyball and badminton area, as well as a ping -pong table. Eleven cats, two friendly male dogs, plus assorted chickens, geese, ducks, sheep, and a pair of peacocks help create the tranquil atmosphere of a typical Tuscan farm.
