VILLA ANTICHE MACINE - FLORENCE AREA
Villa Antiche Macine is nestled in the heart of Tuscany, a region rich in history, culture and natural beauty. Following restoration work, the villa consists of a central building and two lodges. What makes the position where the villa is located even more unique is its proximity to the Antinori Winery. This architectural masterpiece has earned first place in the World’s Best Vineyards 2022 ranking as the ‘Most Beautiful Winery in the World’.
GROUND FLOOR
On the ground floor of the Villa, a spacious living room leads to a grand dining room with a fireplace, TV and a bread oven made even more extraordinary by the presence of a preserved kitchen dating back to IV century A.D., twin to that found in the Monumental Kitchen of Badia a Passignano. Then it follows with a modern kitchen restored and equipped with modern conveniences, a bathroom with laundry facilities, and finally, a suite with a double bedroom and a large and luxurious private bathroom with a travertine shower. A second suite is located on the garden floor with direct access to an exclusive patio, entirely carved out of the ancient mill’s manger, still visible in the suite’s private bathroom.
FIRST FLOOR
On the first floor, a bright living room dominates the scene with its central truss and fireplace, making the atmosphere even more special. From here, you have access to the two suites, both with double beds and ensuite bathrooms with showers.
ANNEX 1
On the left side of the main building, the biggest annex extends over two levels: on the ground floor there is a double bedroom with a bathroom, TV and access to a front patio and a lateral loggia used as a dining area. On the upper floor, there is a loft with two single beds overlooking the villa’s pool.
ANNEX 2
Formerly an ancient sawmill, the small annex, is located opposite the main body of the villa and overlooks the park directly through a paved patio. The dependence comprises a living room with a fireplace, a kitchen with a historical marble sink, and a double bedroom with an open shower and TV.
Outside the private pool (15x7mt – 1.60mt deep) is surrounded by lush vegetation, the scent of cypresses, the sound of the river nearby, and the Tuscan hills serve as a background, creating a magical and relaxing atmosphere. The lodges are also accompanied by a round table around an ancient olive tree where a wood-fired oven and a relaxation area are situated.
