Parco del Principe, Tuscany

Description

The fabulously restored neo-gothic Parco del Principe is the epitome of Tuscan country-house grandeur. Set in 60 acres of stunning grounds, with a tree-lined drive and its very own olive grove, you’ll be hard pressed to find a more impressive luxury villa.

With stunning painted ceilings, ornate marble fireplaces, lavish upholstery and eclectic objets d’art throughout, the attention to detail is simply breath-taking, all lovingly overseen by the villa’s renowned interior designer-owner, Astrid Schiller Wirth.

In the extensive 60-acre grounds of this luxury villa you’ll find a turquoise swimming pool, set amidst ancient olive trees and tall cedars, and dotted all around are gazebos, sofas and recliners on which to laze away the sunny days. Beside the pool there’s outdoor dining for 12 people and a well-stocked bar to keep your party refreshed. Each evening, the daybeds are transformed into magical candle-lit hideaways, with the intoxicating scent of bay, laurel, lemon and pomegranate trees in the air. Memories are made of this.

Within the estate you’ll also find La Foresteria – the perfect additional get-away for up to four people. It’s reminiscent of a small hunting lodge on the outside, yet beautifully appointed on the inside – with two gorgeous bedrooms, a cosy lounge with fireplace, and an eat-in kitchen leading on to its own private terrace. Simply perfect for those seeking a bit more privacy on your luxury holiday.

The main villa’s six bedrooms (one of which is a sumptuous honeymoon suite) are all uniquely designed and furnished. You’ll find antique lace and divine tapestries contrasting with crisp white linen, and huge windows providing outstanding views of the immaculate grounds.

The enchanting Parco del Principe is a unique luxury villa retreat for friends and families alike, whilst also being the perfect romantic setting for wedding parties.
