View residential complex "IL PALAGIO"

IL PALAGIO - Beautiful fortified farmhouse structure dating back to the year 400. It was modified in the course of the centuries and has finally been completely restored by the current owner with great care taken to utilize original materials and to maintain the structure’s character intact. Mentioned in many of the official documents of the past ages, Il Palagio is surrounded by a small farming estate that produces wine and olive oil. The views from the farmhouse are fantastic and space over the underlying vineyards, olive groves and cypress trees both in direction of Panzano in Chianti and in direction of San Gimignano. All shops and facilities are in Panzano at 1 km. Greve in Chianti is a short drive away, while Firenze and Siena are both at about 30 kms. Access to the structure is though a magnificent portal that opens into an internal paved courtyard with beautiful artesian well and lemon trees. The farmhouse offers 6 apartments, 4 of which are accessed from the courtyard. Melograno occupies one wing of the farmhouse and has its own separate access and Palchi is a restored barn attached to the main structure. Central gas heating and firewood are payable on consumption and there is a baby cot and safes in each apartment. Maid service is provided and payable in loco. The apartments cannot be rented without the maid. The gardens surrounding the structure are immaculately kept and impeccably furnished. There is a beautiful 7 X 14 meter swimming pool for shared use and in the rear garden is a large gazebo with wooden tables, barbecue and wood burning oven for baking bread and pizza. There is also a children’s playground.
