Della Nave Estate is the ideal place to rest and for nature lovers: the property is immersed in the luxurious and lush green of a 3-hectares botanical garden and located in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, not far from Arezzo, Florence, Siena and the Chianti area.
The botanical garden make this property UNIQUE. The Parco Della Nave is an "English" garden , which means a garden free in forms and arrangements, projected and created after the mid-Eighteenth Century by the botanic Ferdinando Della Nave. Various species of exotic plants from colonial domains were introduced into European florist markets in 18th and 19th Centuries: the Parco Della Nave is a typical demonstration of a private and very interesting Botanic Collection now part of the National patrimony.
The apartments of Della Nave Estate are divided into two buildings: the Villa della Nave and Podere Valcellino, the Villa was the residence of the noble family Della Nave, from Florence, and the Podere was the workers home and animals barns of the property, the ancient "casale" (old farmhouse), both fully restored according to the typical Tuscan style.
The units have a typical Tuscan style, all well equipped with kitchen and toilets.
Up next to the villa, a breathtaking view, a great place to sit and read a good book or have a glass of wine!
Outside the Podere, a panoramic swimming pool, barbecue area in the garden and views on the Tuscan rolling hills.
Walk in the beautiful botanical park, an occasion to discover the various hidden "pensatoi", stone tables and chairs that offer isolated and remote spot to be fully immersed in nature.
