Overview
Set amidst the breathtaking landscape of Tuscany's Chianti region, this luxurious 6-bedroom villa offers an unforgettable retreat for up to 12 guests. Steeped in history, the 11th-century stone manor house exudes aristocratic charm, surrounded by three hectares of meticulously landscaped gardens, rolling hills, vineyards, and olive groves.
The villa's interior combines historic elegance with modern comforts. The spacious living area is perfect for gatherings, featuring plush sofas and a grand stonework fireplace that has been a centrepiece for generations. Next to the pool a brand new gym overlooking the vineyards has been recently added.
The villa boasts five beautifully appointed bedrooms in the main house, each with an ensuite bathroom. On the first floor, four double bedrooms offer both luxury and comfort, with one room featuring two twin beds and a charming mezzanine bathroom. The ground floor houses an additional double bedroom.
The separate granary guest house provides a peaceful retreat with a double-height beamed living area, a cosy kitchen, and a comfortable bathroom. The mezzanine level holds a double bedroom, making it an ideal space for a couple seeking privacy or for grandparents to relax.
Outside, the villa is a true paradise. The country garden offers serene, relaxing spots with shaded patios, lush lawns, and a tranquil wooded area providing refuge from the midday sun. The large private pool and sun terrace are set against the backdrop of the stunning Tuscan countryside, where the only sounds are the breeze in the cypress trees and the clinking of glasses.
Located near the charming town of Greve, this villa is perfectly positioned for exploring Tuscany's rich cultural heritage. Florence and Siena are just a short drive away. This enchanting villa offers an idyllic setting for family gatherings, special celebrations, or simply a peaceful escape into the beauty of Tuscany.

Beautiful villa
We stayed twice at Dimora Monnalisa – once for my dad’s 70th birthday and the second time for my 40th birthday. We enjoyed our stay very much, one of the reasons was the location close to Greve and overlooking Tuscany – also very nice view on Panzano. We enjoyed the beautiful villa which was very well kept. The staff on ground was always available if we needed help or advice. The children especially enjoyed the pool and we had wonderful evenings on the terrace outside. We would gladly stay again!

Fun-filled week
Dimora Monnalisa was everything we imagined for our holiday in the Chianti region of Tuscany. The villa itself offered comfortable and spacious accommodation with a detectable note of historical ambiance. The views on the grounds were captivating all around, particularly at sunset. The location was within an easy drive of many interesting towns, famous wineries and other must-see attractions such as Firenze. It was a glorious, fun-filled week. We enjoyed it so much we returned for a second stay a few years later and a third time last year!
