VILLA IN CHIANTI

Accomodation for Holiday in Tuscany, apartments in Chianti with garden and swimming pool and gourmet lesson

This Villa in Chianti stands near Greve in chianti. Past the main gate, on the right, a charming and picturesque statue of a hunter and his hound catches the eye, above a bed of boxwood and flowers. The path of villa in Chianti follows the winding stream that flows over a ramp of mossy stones before disappearing underground. Then comes a noble alley bordered with high hedges of bay trees and delightful statues placed at regular intervals. The alley opens onto a large irregularly-shaped fishpond with spurting water, ringed by a balustrade enlivened with potted red geraniums and eight large statues of antique gods and goddesses. Farther along, a small, almost-hidden ornamental pool and a strange artificial grotto emerge from a wooded grove; the rocaille arches of this villa in Chianti provide a remarkable backdrop for the exquisite figure of the goddess Apollo. At the beginning of the 18th century, the gardens were replaced by an open field in the Italian-landscape style. This space, bordered by a broad canopy of trees, costitutes a pleasant preamble to the villa in Chianti. The majestic silhouette of the house in Greve in chianti, with its gradation of blue-grays stands out noticeably against the greens of the lawn and of the pine and fir trees all around, and blends harmoniously with the blue-gray of the hills in the background. The villa in Chianti has a raised main floor opens onto a potico with three serlian arches framing graceful statues. The slightly lower wings are enchanced by the windows of the piano nobile, each adorned with engaged balconies and open segmental pediments, each crowned with a bust. A symmetrical double staircase guarded by stone dogs leads to the portico. The sumptuous salon is adorned with gilded decoration, frames, paintings and frescos from the neoclassic period. The ceiling depicts trompe-l'oeil mythological figures. The central hall leads to several other rooms decorated with frescos of grotesques.
