Willow Apartment - Historic Tuscan Retreat Near Florence

Willow is a charming apartment situated within an ancient Tuscan property whose fascinating origins trace back to 970. This historic estate holds significant importance in regional history, as it was here in 1308 that officials from Florence, Pisa and Volterra gathered to formally define the borders between Volterra and San Gimignano. Throughout the centuries, the property endured periods of ransacking and reconstruction under various owners before being acquired by the distinguished Marquis Capponi. The estate became a favoured resting place for the Grand Duke of Tuscany during his travels through the region.

Perched majestically on a hilltop, the property commands breathtaking views across the surrounding valleys, with vistas extending for tens of kilometres in every direction. The estate is enveloped by several acres of pristine forest featuring majestic oak trees and elegant cypresses, interspersed with golden wheat fields, productive vineyards and traditional olive groves that characterise the quintessential Tuscan landscape.

Following complete renovation, the property now comprises the original Mansion house alongside 14 independent apartments, each offering guests their own private outdoor dining area. A magnificent 20x10 metre swimming pool is available for all guests to enjoy, positioned in a beautifully sunny and panoramic location that maximises the spectacular countryside views. Conveniently located just 200 metres from the property, a typical Tuscan Trattoria offers authentic local dining, snacks and regional products, with takeaway service available for those preferring to dine at their apartment.
