The main house has a living surface of about 500 sqm and revolves around a characteristic paved courtyard with a loggia and oven, and features several separate entrances from various places of the garden. From a side door one enters to the large and luminous living room on the ground floors, a cozy sitting room with a fireplace and a studio, a dining room which is connected to the kitchen by a hallway with guest toilette and the staircase to the upper floor.
From the kitchen one can exit to the loggia, next to the kitchen is the laundry room while a staircase descends underground into the old cellar, featuring a stunning vaulted stone ceiling. The finishing touches are very characteristic, with a beautiful handmade terracotta floor, internal doors made from the old wine vats and ceilings with exposed beams and rafters. The upper floor can be accessed either from outside, via a stone staircase from the courtyard, or via the internal staircase between the kitchen and the dining room. The sleeping area includes a spacious master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom with Jacuzzi. The room is very bright thanks to the presence of five windows and enjoys direct access to the inner courtyard. On the other wing there are four more bedrooms and two bathrooms. Just a few steps from the country house are the remains of an old barn that could be rebuilt into a guesthouse or a wine cellar.The property is surrounded by 17,7 ha of land with a 2.500 sqm garden with trees and flowers and the rounded pool (average size of 15 × 5 m) with a paved sunbathing area overlooking the vineyards and the surrounding Chianti hills.
