Magistra
Europe / Italy / Tuscany
Nestled among woods and vineyards, this 19th century luxury villa majestically rises nearby a picturesque medieval village in the heart of a private estate.
Overview
Villa Magistra itself portrays a stately elegance with considerable amenities being distributed over its five floors. Each room is furnished with original period pieces and the attention is given to the smallest of details. The villa has a glorious past as well as an exciting present; in fact, it has been the residence of some of Europe’s noblest families, and now it belongs to one of the greatest names of the Italian fashion dynasties. The villa is centrally located, with all the attractions and towns for which Tuscany is famous being within easy reach.
Once settled, guests may choose from several activities offered by the estate, or just do nothing and recharge the batteries in the privacy of their villa. For those who want to venture beyond the estate, there is the entire Tuscan art scene; all of the major cities are within easy day trip distances. And those who want to explore the extraordinary architectural and artistic jewels scattered throughout the area need only follow the many well-placed signs. The delight of these discoveries will be equaled only by the pleasure of a vacation at Villa Magistra
