Property Description
The allure of Tuscany lies in its rich tapestry of art, culture, and history, where every corner seems to be touched by a thousand years of fascinating stories. Among its many storied properties, the Vignamaggio estate stands out as one of the most intriguing. This historic estate was once the family home of the noble Gherardini family—immortalized in Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy, where they were placed in his Paradiso. But perhaps the most famous Gherardini of all was Lisa Gherardini, who, thanks to Leonardo da Vinci, became known as the Mona Lisa. The Gherardini family, who cultivated this land from 1404 left an indelible mark on Vignamaggio, making it a true gem of Tuscany.
But the allure of Vignamaggio doesn’t stop at the Renaissance. Who can forget the property as the breathtaking backdrop for Kenneth Branagh’s 1993 film adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing? Fans of the film will recognize the sun-drenched courtyards, verdant gardens, and romantic vistas that brought Shakespeare’s comedy to life. Imagine walking in the footsteps of Keanu Reeves and Denzel Washington, or perhaps hosting your own private screening in the stunning Tuscan countryside.
As a guest of Casolese di Vignamaggio, one of the estate’s beautifully restored farmhouses, you’ll enjoy a harmonious mix of rustic charm and modern elegance. This luxury villa rental in Greve in Chianti is designed to accommodate large groups, offers expansive spaces and clean, modern interiors that contrast beautifully with the building’s traditional Tuscan architecture. Here, multi-generational families and groups of friends can gather to create unforgettable memories.
Casolese di Vignamaggio is set in a marvellous location as well, nestled within lavish woodlands, olive groves, and vineyards, providing the perfect country escape. Situated between Greve and Panzano in Chianti—each just a 10-minute drive away—this splendid farmhouse is ideally positioned for those wishing to explore Tuscany and all it has to offer. The panoramic terrace, shaded by ancient olive and mulberry trees, is an idyllic spot for enjoying an aperitivo or a leisurely lunch.
Take in the sweeping views of Vignamaggio’s vineyards, explore the estate’s gardens, or relax by your private pool as you sip a full-bodied Chianti, “Il Castello di Monna Lisa.” With the property just a 20-minute drive from Florence along the picturesque Chiantigiana road—considered one of the most beautiful in Europe—your Tuscan adventure is as accessible as it is enchanting.
Whether you’re a lover of history, a fan of the performing arts, or simply in search of a luxurious retreat, Casolese di Vignamaggio promises a blend of historic grandeur and contemporary luxury.
