Paganello
is a large villa of the 16th Century not very far from Tavarnelle
Val di Pesa. It is situated on the crest of a classic Tuscan panorama,
surrounded by the hills of Chianti which cultivates vineyards and
olive groves, wherever one looks it becomes a beautiful view to be
admired and enjoyed. Paganello is mentioned in the book, “Le
Ville di Firenze” by Ovidio Guaita, Published by Newton &
Compton Editori: “The only stately character of the architecture
on the simple façade, is the portal, which is surrounded by
ashlar stones and flanked by two low windows. Passing through the
entrance there is a small vaulted lobby from which we reach the courtyard.
This is closed on three sides but the open side gives on excellent
view over the valley. Inside the villa stone jambs enrich the doors
and some of the rooms are vaulted. In front of the villa, on the other
side of the road there is chapel. Inside, the vaulted ceiling is decorated
in simple grotesque style with a painting of the Virgin Mary in the
centre.
Besides being a classic Tuscan agricultural farm in 1999 it became
an activity for farm holidays: the production of wine and olive oil
from its own vineyards and olive grove extends over an area of 68
acres.
Guests staying at Paganello can buy the genuine farm products: extra
virgin olive oil, wine, honey, Vin Santo and, use the mountain bikes
available to rent.
In a small part of the west side of the villa there is an exclusive
internal courtyard, which is at the disposition of the guests. There
are four very spacious apartments with individual heating, two with
open fire place available to rent.
The apartments, which are independent to the rest of the villa, offers
privacy, relaxation familiarity between the guests and eventual friends. |
