Casa Lionardo, Vinci, Florence and Chianti

There’s a story behind the name of this villa on the edge of Vinci in Tuscany – it’s next to the house where Leonardo da Vinci was born.



Set on the edge of the town after which Tuscany’s most famous son was named, Casa Lionardo isn’t just well positioned for appreciating the landscape the great Renaissance polymath called home, it’s handy for the fantastic local museum dedicated to him. There you can find out more about the man, his art and the flights of fancy he had more than 500 years ago that we now recognise as the airplane, submarine and more.



That’s day one ticked off, where next Well, there’s world-class sightseeing in Florence, wine tasting at the vineyards to the south, you could even head to the beach at Viareggio. And at the end of these exciting days out, you’ll be pleased to return to this comfortable villa for four.

It has a welcoming open-plan living room and dining area, decorated with a tasteful mix of antique and modern furnishings and served by a smart modern kitchen. Upstairs there are two generous-sized bedrooms, a double and a twin, both with large en-suite bathrooms. It’s a Tuscan treasure with traditional touches such as double-height, vaulted ceilings and terracotta tile floors.



There's a small garden, too, commanding gorgeous views across the Tuscan hills from the shaded outdoor terrace, private pool and sundeck. It’s just the place to relax – and plan where next to roam.
