Tenuta Sant'Ilario is situated on 62 hectares of woods, olive orchards and vineyards. It is built on the same site as an ancient tower, the Tower of Cabbialla, which was built in 1200 to defend Florence from the attacks by a neighbouring Province, Volterra. The unique atmosphere of the properties comes from centuries of tradition combined with modern features such as pools, benches, gardens, stunning vistas and lovely buildings styled on ancient architecture with all the modern conveniences that 21st century people expect. On the estate it is possible to find the most characteristic of Tuscan scenery: olive groves and vineyards surround our villas and apartments and it is also possible to enjoy magnificent walks in the ancient oak and holm oak woods leading down to the lake where roe deer and fallow deer love to linger. If one walks into the floor of the valley there are creeks and small waterfalls formed by the streams that feed into the property. Inside the estate there are three separate villas, five self-contained apartments and the possibility of stopping in one of six junior suites which are located in the main villa and are all facing onto the courtyard of the former convent. In the main villa, a former convent dating from the twelfth century, there is a breakfast room where pre-booked breakfasts are served based on milk, coffee, cappuccino, fruit juice, cheese and sliced cold meats, brioches, pastries and other cakes. If the guests prefer, breakfast can also be served directly to their room, where they can enjoy perfect privacy. Possibility of connecting to the Internet at the reception.

Optional Extra's: Villa's/apartments.

* Breakfast (pre-ordered) served in either the breakfast room (€13 per person) or in
   the guests rooms/apartments at €15 per person.
* Delivery of fresh fruit, vegetables, bread etc.
