The property is made up prevalently of buildings dating back to the 19th century, fully and finely restored to preserve those characteristics typical to Tuscan countryside structures. External stone walls, brought back to their original beauty, clashes with plastered and painted internal walls granting brightness to the interiors. Other classy details include the beautiful wooden beams sustaining the roofs and the high-quality terracotta floors arranged in fishbone style. The villa has light-toned parquet floors, with plastered and white-painted walls. Roofs are sustained by wooden beams which have been painted white. Many of the apartments have masonry or stone fireplaces, perfectly restored and working. The cellar is a spartan building, without too much luxury finishes and organized to provide a functional place for grapes processing and wine making. The barriques cellar is, instead, very refined with ample sections of exposed stone and finely preserved visible wooden beams. The small church in the property (dating back to the 17th century) is still consecrated and boasts door and window frames carved in the pietra serena typical to the Florence area. On the inside, the altar is enriched by sculpted angels while the floors are covered in ancient terracotta tiles.
