Villa Giglio is a splendid 18th century villa. It is situated within a farm that produces wine and olive oil of an excellent quality. From the entrance of the farm, a little road lined with cypress trees passes by the different farmhouses and the tennis court and leads to a little square where the villa is situated. The villa forms the nucleus of the farm and is surrounded by the other buildings of the farm: the offices of the property, the wine cellars, and the farmhouses with several holiday apartments that are rented on a weekly basis. Therefore, although the villa is independent, it is not isolated. It shares the open spaces and the garden with the other guests of the farm and it is surrounded by the estate's agricultural activities. Villa Giglio is not suited for guests that prefer total isolation. But it is the ideal place for spending a holiday in an elegant villa with all comforts while being in contact with the rural reality of Tuscany.
