Agusta

This Medici hunting mansion in the Tuscan countryside was built in the 16th century as one of the twelve grand hunting residences of the Grand Duke Ferdinando I de’ Medici, grandson of the famous Lorenzo II Magnifico (Lorenzo the Magnificent). In its past the villa has been the dwelling of many illustrious guests, among them Paolina Bonaparte, sister of Napoleon and the Grand Duchess of Tuscany.Tucked into a serene hillside of olive trees and vineyards, rolling valleys stretch wide between Florence and Lucca in the near distance. Careful restoration has been attended to by the present owner, a prince whose family purchased the property over two hundred years ago. Nearby thermal resorts, pristine forests, valleys, hills, castles and ancient Medieval villages all come together to envelop the estate deep in the heart of Tuscany.

The sumptious property offers 1,200 square meters/ 13,000 sq. ft. of living space in the main villa, as well as a consecrated chapel, private park, staff quarters, pool and pool house with a shower room, service bathroom, towel storage and electricity and carport for at least four cars.

All rooms of the villa are impeccably decorated with luxurious furnishing and finishes housing a remarkable art collection. The building retains its original architectural structure with its floors, vaulted ceilings, fireplaces and staircases. The villa features opulent heirloom pieces such as oil paintings and antiques, Venetian glass chandeliers, murals, rich tapestry and Persian rugs, all creating a sense of history that the guests will enjoy in every room.

This atmosphere of rich decoration, oil paintings and antique furnishings all come together to transport guests back to a timeless era, yet modern comforts offer the conveniences expected today.

Four double bedrooms offer en-suite bathrooms and are decorated with fine linens, antiques and lovely murals, paintings and carpets. The master royal suite is spacious and grand, with a king size bed, en-suite bathroom and antique furnishes and paintings. Two twin rooms each boast en-suite bathrooms and equally lovely furnishings and are perfect for children or staff members. With two spacious living rooms, ten bathrooms, a massive dining room, large gourmet kitchen and study this sumptuous vacation villa is the perfect Tuscan escape.
