Villa Poggio di Gaville is a wonderful 18th century Villa set in idyllic surroundings of trees, vineyards and olive groves in the hills of Florence, close to Chianti. The farmhouse was restored to its original splendour in 2004 and is furnished with charming Tuscan style furniture and exotic world pieces from 48 different countries in the world, a reflection of the owner's intercultural spirit. ​
