Villa Danica
A beautifully designed Tuscan estate above the Castelfalfi golf course, with a 13.5-metre infinity pool and a dedicated playroom annex.
About This Villa
Villa Danica sits in the hills above Montaione, between Florence and the Tyrrhenian coast, on a property meticulously restored to balance the original Tuscan stone-and-brick structure with a soft, monochromatic palette and splashes of contemporary colour. The view from the infinity pool runs across the Castelfalfi golf course and the rolling forest beyond.
Five en-suite bedrooms accommodate ten guests across the main villa, with a separate annex that holds the playroom — pool table, table football, kitchenette, and a living area — a clubhouse away from the main house for the teenagers (or anyone who wants a quieter corner). Outside: a 5 × 13.5 m infinity pool, a loggia with a long gas BBQ and pizza oven, a bocce court, and olive trees through the garden. Florence is one hour ten, San Gimignano thirty-five minutes, and Versilia's beaches are within easy reach for a day trip.
