The square and massive structure, the small tower with the dove loft, the courtyard with the stone annex. And around it, the Tuscan countryside with its fields and hills. These are the distinctive features of the so-called Leopoldine villas, country residences built in the 1700s by the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Pietro Leopoldo di Lorena, which have become a symbol of a charming and elegant rural style. Inspired by this unique model, La Leopoldina is a country residence built in 2009, reflecting the architectural styles of ancient farms of the time while using contemporary materials and technologies. A short stretch of white road lined with cypress trees leads you into a dreamlike atmosphere: a garden with an English lawn of almost 5000 square meters frames the house, the small annex with a wood oven and porch, and the beautiful swimming pool with a terracotta solarium where you can wait for the sun to set behind the hill, coloring the water with its flaming sunset. You enter the large living area on the ground floor, which features a living room with a monumental fireplace and a huge chandelier hanging from the 7-meter high ceiling. Connected to the living room and overlooking the garden, there is a large dining room, perfect for hosting a lunch for about ten people, from which you access the country-style masonry kitchen. The ground floor also includes a master bedroom with a French door leading to the garden and an en-suite bathroom. A staircase with a minimalist and elegant wrought iron handrail connects to the upper floor, which houses three bedrooms, all equipped with bathrooms and fireplaces, perfect for creating a magical atmosphere in the winter and especially during the holidays. Climbing a spiral staircase, you finally reach the windowed tower: the Colombaia, a small lounge at the highest point of the house where you can spend moments of relaxation in total privacy. Outside, in the garden, the tool shed serves as a storage room, while the porch features a barbecue with an oven where you can prepare a grill for your guests and serve it in the shade of the patio. The garden furniture is rich in elements that allow for perfect outdoor enjoyment: tables, chairs, and wrought iron sofas under the pergola against the wall create a dining and lounge area usable from dawn to dusk; the sun loungers, deck chairs, and gazebo by the pool make sunbathing an all-inclusive pleasure. Coordinated with everything, there is also a shaded parking area with three parking spaces, made of wood. Every finish of this villa is meticulously cared for, from the oval shape of the first-floor windows to the wrought iron details of the stairs and chandelier, but its elegance never fails to amaze: in a corner of the garden, a small hill with sunshade sails has been created, where you can enjoy a moment of ”escape” surrounded by greenery, alone or in company. Scattered in strategic or panoramic points, the rural villas, designed for a more rational management of agricultural activities, are now oases of peace and beauty, where you can spend memorable summers or settle down with your family permanently. With the city reachable in about an hour, they allow you to experience both a bucolic and urban dimension, without losing the tranquility of one and the dynamism of the other. For this reason, they are ideal for a vacation home for your family, but also for being destined for hospitality activities, as is already happening for this villa with excellent results: from here, you can set out to visit art cities during the day and then return in the evening to your paradise ”with a view.”
