Astra 5BDR

TUSCANY

Villa Astra dates back to the 15th century and it was recently restored and transformed into an exquisite independent villa. This beautiful three-story property is nestled in an exclusive estate boasting an impeccable manicured park (5000 sqf) which includes other villas as well. It can be rented alone or together with its annex to accommodate large parties or special reunions. While the villa is irresistibly cozy, it is also unmistakably Tuscan and this quality alone coupled with its sought-after location near Florence – only 25 minutes by car or 30 minutes by train – makes Villa Astra a picture-postcard escape.

Famous for its art and architecture, Florence is an obligatory destination for the first-timer visitor of Italy. However, while exploring the historical center is something that cannot be missed, the pristine studded landscapes and the enchanted medieval villages set on the famous Tuscan rolling hills surrounding Florence are well worth a visit.
The most famous area to explore is the Chianti, a blessed land that covers a rather large wine-producing region of Tuscany, reaching from Florence to Siena, and all the way out to Pisa. Chianti's must see sights are the wine villages of Castellina, Radda and Gaiole. Along the road visit the Badia di Coltibuono and/or Castello di Brolio and do not forget to pick up some wine to enjoy at the villa!
