The sublime "Tenuta il Trebbio," just 25 km from Florence, represents an exquisite agricultural estate and family vacation residence, nestled among vineyards and olive groves, far from the noise of the streets, offering a panoramic view of the surrounding valleys.

In the basement, there are cellars, the pottery storage area (used for oil storage), a large area used for grape drying with a Vinsantaia, and various warehouses. There is also a large, ancient barn with original terracotta floors and majestic exposed beams. Additionally, a second 190 sqm apartment on two levels has been renovated in the farmhouse, preserving the original spaces to maintain the spirit and nature of the house and its history. Spacious and ample, this apartment is currently used to accommodate large families or small groups of friends. The original barn, located in the large courtyard in front of the farmhouse, has been renovated, and within it, three apartments have been created, two of 45/50 sqm and one of 60 sqCertainly!

The sublime "Tenuta il Trebbio," located just 25 km from Florence, is a magnificent agricultural estate and a family vacation residence. Nestled amidst vineyards and olive groves, it offers a serene escape from the bustling city streets, providing breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding valleys.

Encompassing 15 hectares of privately-owned, fully enclosed land, the estate features two prominent structures, the ancient farmhouse and a recently renovated barn, facing each other. The farmhouse has been in the possession of the Congregation of Vallombrosan Monks since the early 11th century. Over time, they expanded their holdings to encompass the entire Paterno estate. The monks retained ownership until the early 19th century, and remnants of their presence can still be observed in the oldest section of the farmhouse. These include the cellar, a grand wood-fired oven, the room presently used as a communal space, and a small niche housing a statue of the Madonna.

The main residence is situated in the oldest part of the farmhouse, boasting a kitchen/living room adorned with majestic exposed beams, three bedrooms, a lounge, two bathrooms, and a small storage area. The basement houses the cellars, an oil storage room, a spacious area for grape drying accompanied by a wine-making facility, and various storage spaces. Additionally, a large and ancient barn, featuring original terracotta floors and magnificent exposed beams, adds to the allure of the property. Furthermore, a second two-level apartment, covering 190 square meters, has been meticulously restored within the farmhouse, preserving the original layout to retain the house's spirit and history. This expansive apartment currently serves as accommodation for large families or small groups of friends. The original barn, located in the grand courtyard in front of the farmhouse, has been transformed into three separate apartments, two measuring approximately 45/50 square meters and one measuring 60 square meters. Each apartment has its independent entrance on the ground floor. Additionally, a separate bedroom with an en-suite bathroom has been designed to accommodate individuals with reduced mobility.

A breathtaking swimming pool, offering stunning views of the valley, graces the property, along with a children's playground, two wood-fired ovens, and three barbecue areas.

Throughout the years, the renovations have carefully preserved the distinctive features of Tuscan farmhouses, such as the terracotta floors, wooden beam ceilings, and magnificent stone walls. This property is an ideal retreat for those seeking a tranquil lifestyle away from the city's hustle and bustle or for those interested in developing a hospitality business targeting both Italian and international clientele in search of nature-filled, relaxing, and art-inspired vacations. Presently, the estate offers guided walks across the agricultural land, providing guests with the opportunity to witness farming activities and explore the wine cellar, wine-making facilities, and olive oil storage area. Guests can also enjoy a spacious communal room with ancient arches and a fireplace, located within the farmhouse, where they can gather and savor the estate's products.

Situated in the province of Florence, between the Apennine foothills, the Pratomagno mountain range, and the Valdisieve valley, the property enjoys a strategic location with convenient road and rail connections to Casentino, Mugello, the Upper Valdarno, Florence, and their surroundings.
