Overview
Villa Dimora Castello is in a beautiful position in the Chianti hills near San Gimignano, just 30 km from Florence, built on the ancient Via Francigena, that connected France to Rome during the middle age. The origins of Villa Dimora Castello dates to the early 13th century. It was the residence of the Alberti Contes until the end of the 17th century after which it was transformed into a "signorile" villa. Traces of the original 13th century fortified castle are still discernible in the square brick tower and the defensive walls alongside the villa. The recent restoration of the villa has brought back to life the ancient splendour of this residence without altering its architectural characteristics but enriching it with all the modern comforts.
Outside, you will find a big garden with a breathtaking view on the Tuscan countryside. A staircase leads down to the swimming pool with external shower, surrounded by a lawn and an arcaded loggia. A “limonaia” (former lemon conservatory) has been converted into a sitting room, with six arched windows offering sweeping views of surrounding countryside and it is situated next to a consecrated chapel of the 13th century. Beneath, there is a little wine cellar and included in the price there is domestic help 3 hours/day for cleaning of the bedrooms, continental breakfast, baby bed.
