This villa is a ‘noble and majestic’ villa set on a beautiful hill.
Nestled in the heart of the famed winemaking region of Chianti Classico, this Villa keeps its watchful eye over the haunting Arno Valley, framing within its arches the nearby Dome of the Cathedral and Giotto’s Bell Tower. And what is considered a tempestuous marriage of art and vine.
They say every land holds a story in its heart. This villa’s has waited five-hundred years to be told. It is set amongst acres of vineyard, olive grove and majestic Tuscan forest.
It is the story of the ancient and powerful Machiavelli family, how they courted power and distilled it into their home.
It is said that even Michelangelo participated in designing the Villa. The Villa was built by Cardinal Francesco Maria Machiavelli, uncle of Niccolò Machiavelli, thanks to the substantial commissions given him by Pope Urban VIII, who was a relative.
