  Descriptions:

Villa Michelangelo is a sumptuously magnificent 14th century neoclassical Italy villa. Immersed in a green valley and surrounded by woodlands, this amazing example of a grand Italian villa is your dream vacation rental in Italy. Located in the heart of Tuscany where the famous wine Chianti Classico Gallo Nero is produced, Villa Michelangelo is perfect for wine lovers.

The villa s original features have been almost completely preserved, rare for an Italian villa of this age.
The facade is graced with elegant windows, adorned with small volutes. A grand two 2-storey inner staircase provides direct access to the noble floor.
In front of this grand Italian villa is a beautiful Chianti wine vineyard, as well as an olive grove. A ring-shaped swimming-pool (11 mts. & 80 cm. deep) is located on the large green lawn (approx. half a hectare). The pool is fully-equipped with wooden sun-beds, wrought iron tables and chairs, where villa rental guests can relax in complete peace and privacy.
Adjacent to the villa is the family chapel with an ancient baptismal font. It was built in the 17th century and has an elegant neoclassical cupola frescoed with the theological virtues. If requested, this small church can be reserved for ceremonies such as marriages and baptisms.
