The villa is set in a rather small Tuscan hamlet where a few family and elder people live, and the only facility you find is a cafe. Only 4 km away you reach the town of Pratovecchio, where you find shops, restaurants, basic facilities and public transportation (bus and train) that leads directly to Florence and Arezzo, the two closest major cities. A car is recommended to make day trips around local wineries, like the areas of Rufina and Chianti, to visit the Casentino National Park, or the golf course or the shopping outlet centres nearby.
The second floor is the villa's mansard, featured by its beautiful wooden ceilings which are lower than the other floors, and covered with the original fired bricks. This floor floor opens to a large comfortable living room and there are located 4 double bedrooms (with the possibility to add 4 single beds) and 4 complete bathrooms, each one equipped with WC, sink, bidet, shower or bathtub. Here there is an extra bathroom.

In the whole villa the original floors covered with those red fired bricks also known as “cotto fiorentino” have been preserved. This kind of handicraft is very typical and reflects the architecture style of most Tuscan villas.
Each bedroom has its own charm, decorated with painted walls and ceilings, wrought iron or wooden beds, antiques and some family objects. In all bedrooms you can admire the original wooden beamed ceilings, and most of them are also hand painted in Florentine style, reflecting the noble origins of the family who built the villa at least two centuries ago.
Palazzo Nobile is a typical Tuscan manor house of a large estate that extends for 1300 square meters, only 4 km away from Pratovecchio, a lovely Tuscan village at the base of Casentino mountains which offers all basic facilities and public transportation to the most important cities like Florence and Arezzo.
The division of the villa is very useful for large groups composed of more family units travelling together, as each one has its own privacy.
The villa is set in a residential village and offers complete privacy as its own private garden is totally fenced in. The swimming pool, set on the villa's background, is immersed in the large garden, on a higher level, surrounded by a wooden solarium which is furnished with many sun loungers and umbrellas. Below there is a green meadow with table and chairs and some shady spots provided by the century old trees.
The large garden area is fully equipped for outdoor meals and has a fixed barbecue structure, many garden tables and chairs for everyone and a children playground. The garden is rich of local plants, herbs, flowers and trees. The views from the pool and garden goes over the lovely Tuscan hamlet to the green mountains behind it.
Upon request (Extra): A large common area (250 m²), composed of a charming living room, 2 service bathrooms with WC and sinks, wardrobe and a large gourmet kitchen located in a huge dining area (basement). This place is ideal for family reunions, parties and celebrations, with enough seats for 40 persons.
