Description

Nestled in the rolling hills and sweeping valleys between Chianti and Siena is Casa Leopold. Built by the Grand Duke of Tuscany in the 1700\'s, this large Italian villa has been completely renovated and decorated with simple Tuscan antiques to maintain its original style. One is reminded of the Renaissance masters as you look out at the noble cypress trees, vineyards, olive groves, forests of oak trees and fields of bright sunflowers. The traditional stone architecture includes arches, open wood beams, a tower, and sunny interior colors. The private pool is surrounded with garden furniture and a large built-in barbecue. The covered terrace attached to the house has a marble and iron table for outdoor dining. The main house sleeps 16 with a smaller side house that sleeps 5.
