Il Borgo di Villa Bossi-Pucci, is located on the rolling hills south of Florence (24 km), nearby Montespertoli well known as the "city of the wine", in the heart of the fascinating Chianti region, surrounded by tall cypress trees and olive groves.
This beautiful village recalls the atmosphere of the old farmsteads so typical of Tuscany's countryside.
The materials used are local ones, as :
the pilloli, a large river pebble used to build walls, the cotto, Tuscan red bricks, the pietra serena, soft grey marble typically used in Tuscany, the mattonelle, locally produced tiles.
Il Borgo Residences is formed by six farm buildings built around the Piazza of the village.
Each building evokes its original use : Il Casale, where the farmers lived; Il Fienile, used for the storage of the harvest; La Torretta, used to dry fruits and tomatoes; La Tinaia, where the grapes were stored and fermented; La Cantina, where the wine was stored; Il Frantoio, where the olives were pressed.
Il Borgo consists in 25 Case (homes) : fully equipped residences, accommodating from two to five persons (depending on unit), with beautiful views and panoramas on the Montespertoli valley and the Castello of Poppiano, or on the olive and fruit gardens and the centuries-old park.
