Sycamore Apartment

Sycamore Apartment: Historic Tuscan Retreat Near Florence

Sycamore Apartment is situated on an ancient estate whose remarkable history dates back to 970 AD. In 1308, this very property witnessed the official definition of borders between Volterra and San Gimignano, in the presence of officials from Florence, Pisa and Volterra. Throughout the centuries, the estate endured periods of ransacking and reconstruction under various owners before being acquired by Marquis Capponi. The Grand Duke of Tuscany frequently chose this property as his residence during his travels throughout Tuscany.

Perched on a hilltop, the estate commands breathtaking views across the surrounding valleys, with panoramas extending for tens of kilometres in every direction. The countryside encompasses several acres of forest featuring magnificent oak trees and cypresses, interspersed with traditional wheat fields, vineyards and olive groves. This completely renovated property comprises the main Mansion house and 14 independent apartments, each with private outdoor dining areas.

Guests enjoy access to a stunning 20x10 metre swimming pool, perfectly positioned to capture the sun and spectacular panoramic views. Located just 200 metres from the property, a typical Tuscan trattoria offers delicious local cuisine, products and convenient takeaway service.
