This classic Italian villa, just outside of Montaione, has been superbly renovated and enjoys a magnificent location on a beautiful country estate offering breathtaking vistas. As you walk through Villa Isabella's magnificent wrought iron and glass entrance, you'll know you are in a special house.
The ground level offers panoramic views on all sides from its airy reception rooms. Isabella's decor combines vibrant, luminous pastels; the finest quality furnishings and luxurious Italian fabrics. Relax in the spacious, sunny sitting room with master fireplace; or enjoy the view over the estate from the large, formal dining area. A smaller area, perfect for breakfast or lunch, leads into the fantastically equipped, glass-front kitchen overlooking the patio and veranda terrace. A full guest bathroom and utility/laundry room completes the ground level. Follow the old stone staircase up to five queen bedrooms and one twin bedroom (each with en suite bathroom) painted in two-tone pastels.
The spectacular infinity-edge pool runs the whole length of the house. Depending on your mood, you can enjoy the terracotta solarium, the spa bath, or simply walk down the mosaic-tiled roman steps into the water. The terracotta portico is ideal for relaxing poolside and informal dining. A large Tuscan loggia veranda offers beautiful dawn and twilight views, and is perfect for entertaining.
Villa Isabella is totally private, perched on the crest of a small hilltop, and surrounded by ancient Tuscan cypress trees. The Mediterranean terraces all around the house lead down into the fields and woodlands. The 18-hole international golf course at Castelfalfi is 20 minutes away; horseback riding and tennis are just a 10 minute drive. It is advisable to rent a car; the closest shops and restaurants are about 3.5 miles from the property. The villa is staffed and air-conditioned. Perfect for entertaining, Villa Isabella is a sophisticated venue for family reunions, celebrations, parties and professional events. Larger groups can rent the nearby Montaione, Cascina or Cerreto, also part of the same estate.

Atop one of the hills that dominate the Elsa Valley is the ancient medieval city of San Gimignano, which still preserves its roots and boasts beautiful works of art. Highlights which must be seen are the Collegiate Church and Museo Civico. The Collegiate Church, one of the most famous in the world, contains frescoes by Benozzo Gozzoli and Ghirlandaio, while the Museo Civico has a renowned collection of apothecary jars from the Spezieria di Santa Fina. Besides its famous Vernaccia wine, San Gimignano's many shops offer the products of typical Tuscan artisans, marked by the skill and tradition handed down from father to son. Here you can enjoy everything from boar sausages to cheeses, from terracotta to hand-made pottery to leather goods.
