The Villa
The ‘Castellare de’ Sernigi’ lies amongst the Chianti Hills, on a ridge that looks down on a valley rich in history.
An ancient house originally belonging to the noble family of Sernigi, who were rich merchants and patrons of the great artists of the 1400’s, it later passed into the hands of the family Naldini del Riccio when, during the 18th century, it was left to degenerate into an ordinary farmhouse.
At the end of the 1950’s the house was bought by the Corti Family who restored it to is original splendour.
The villa lies in the 1,000 year old hamlet of Palazzuolo and is surrounded by a park with olive trees, roses and Mediterranean plants.
It has a large swimming pool and courtyards which are ideal for relaxing outside in fine weather.
Just a few 100 metres from the villa there are tennis courts and horse riding stables.
for golf players we have 7 marvelous golf clubs in the area from 9 to 18 holes.
Mountain bikes are available at the villa and it is tempting to take them on an excursion or to go trekking as the landscape is so very beautiful.
The Swimming Pool
The swimming pool area is next to the villa; it is completely enclosed with a gate which can be locked.
The large pool(15m x 7m)has a depth of 1.20m to 1.40m so it possible to always touch the bottom.
It is in a private position thanks to the climbing roses which surround it which are in turn surrounded by an olive grove and 2 hectars of grass and yellow flowering broom.
There is a changing room at the pool which has a fridge for keeping drinks cool.
On the lawn next to the pool there is a shady gazebo furnished with table and chairs.
The sun beds are made of wood and canvas.
The Garden
The villa has a large garden with lawn, roses and olive trees and there are armchairs and table by the swimming pool.
There is an antique paved patio hedged with laurel and furnished with comfortable armchairs and a gazebo covered by ornamental vines housing a table which is 4 metres long and ideal for alfresco dining.
At the edge of the garden there is a little wood where you can relax on hammocks under the shade of the trees.
The area is illuminated and there is a large marble table and a little kitchen where you can prepare food.
