The whole complex, which hosts a chapel still consacrated, has been recently restored according to the new "green" philosphy that provided it with a photovoltaic system designed to guarantee the independence from the energetic point of view. Building materials, pieces of furniture and accessories in contemporary style make this villa a modern and elegant place: welcoming and comfortable, yet maintaining the authentic "taste" of the beautiful and majestic structure, untouched by time. The stone farmhouse: Il Granducato The ground floor boasts a spacious and elegant living room with stone fireplace and sitting area with sofas and satellite TV; magnificent dining room with large table; adjacent modern kitchen equipped with central island and up-to-date cooking devices. The floor is completed by a double bedroom with private bathroom and laundry area. The first floor, used as sleeping area just like in the past, is accessible by both inner and outer staircase, the latter covered by a loggia. It is composed of two double bedrooms with private bathroom and two additional bedrooms, a double and a triple one, sharing a full bathroom with shower. In the Torre colombaia (the very top part of the house), which is another distinguishing feature of the Granduca Leopoldo architecture, there is a romantic double bedroom with private bathroom. Finally a triple bedroom with bathroom is located in the lovely stone annex. Garden and Pool: Inside the wide garden, guests can find the BBQ area, equipped with oven and grills; a gazebo where to enjoy al fresco meals overwhelmed by the smell of jasmine bushes and experience romantic sunsets in this part of countryside. The pool, equipped with solarium area and sunbeds can be reached both through the lovely staircase and the grassy ramp. Under the outer loggia it is possible to find a shadowed area with sofas and table where to eat open-air and an additional covered area equipped with fully equipped kitchen, fridge, sofas, TV, bathroom and dressing room. Villa Il Granducato is the perfect place for those who are looking for a relaxing though high quality holiday. The city centre is located just 10km away: there one can find services, museums, churches, monuments that worth a visit. Upon arrival, guests will be welcomed with a welcome basket with breakfast products. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the villa: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 7 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 6 bathrooms - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - One pet total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping mall ### Things to do - Ecotours nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 3,122 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32400000/32393100/32393078/ef2b16a1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful Tuscan farmhouse in the countryside with swimming pool Mercatale - Pool - Pet-friendly - Tennis court - Breakfast available 10 Exceptional 7 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-16&endDate=2025-11-17&selected=32393078&PinnedHotelID=32393078&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95400000/95397000/95396998/d35e2fe2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Country House / Farm House in Cortona with 7 bedrooms sleeps 14 Cegliolo - Pool - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi - Parking available [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-16&endDate=2025-11-17&selected=95396998&PinnedHotelID=95396998&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/23000000/22030000/22024600/22024566/w2041h1302x3y0-7458d57b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy home in Castiglion F.

Oct 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Entspannter geht es kaum Es war alles perfekt. Gabriella und Enrico halten das Haus sehr sauber. Uns hat vorallem die super ausgestattete Küche gefallen, sie hat eingeladen zusammen zu kochen und zu kommunizieren. Der Pool- und der Aussenbereich waren eine tolle Abwechslung. Die Schlafzimmer waren ruhig und ebenfalls sehr sauber und schön eingerichtet. Für einen entspannten und ruhigen Urlaub, abseits vom lauten alltäglichen Stadtleben sehr zu empfehlen. ##### Matthias G.
