Villa Donato is set in the hills just 15 km from Florence, in a delightful and peaceful context with a magnificent 360-degree view of the Tuscan countryside with its olive groves, vines and rows of cypress trees. It has been recently and carefully renovated, conserving the original features, in perfect harmony with the furnishings which consist of elegant period pieces of excellent quality. At the same time, it offers all modern comforts and is very well-equipped, with air conditioning in all the bedrooms, broadband internet connections, satellite TV, dishwasher and laundry with washing machine. The villa is surrounded by a well-tended Italian garden, while in front of the main entrance is a large patio paved in stone with a characteristic alcove furnished for reading and relaxation. Opening at the rear is the large panoramic garden, with private swimming pool and sun terrace and leisure areas comprising table-tennis facilities and barbecue. The kitchen area and the garden both give access to the terrace furnished for dining in the open air
About 2 km away is a small village with food shops, while 10 km away is the town of Rignano where guests can find all necessary services. The property is located to the south of Florence, about 20 minutes away by car, in a natural landscape of outstanding beauty, where in the past various aristocratic families chose to build their country residences, which are still preserved intact, and where the culture of Tuscan food and wine has always been glorified.
