The glorious Villa Chigi Saracini in Castelnuovo Berardenga was completely rebuilt and designed in the early 19th century by its wealthy owner, Galgano Lucherini Saracini. He envisioned a large grand house for his family to happily live in for years to come. It is rectangular in shape with three grand floors. Parts of the original castle walls which stood here were actually torn down to allow for the villa’s design to be completed in the vision of its stylish owner.

Villa Chigi is surrounded by a vast and picturesque parkland that is designed in the most romantic way! Perfectly manicured lawns spread around the property in beautiful geometric patterns, framed by deep green hedges and dotted with winding paths, tranquil fish filled ponds and gushing fountains.
A stunning square in the Villa Chigi grounds is embellished with an impressive column monument in the centre dedicated to the Renaissance Master Painter and Sculptor, Michelangelo Buonarroti!
Many other sculptures and statues in the grounds are representative of great musicians and artisans from all the Italian arts so a walk around them all could be quite the lesson in history and culture too.

In front of the villa is a beautiful small circular lake surrounded by an Italian style garden. Sadly a villa of this magnitude requires a serious amount of maintenance and unfortunately due to lack of funds, it has fallen into some disrepair.
But with the proper renovations this stunning villa could once again shine like a beacon in this charming part of Tuscany! In 2014 this property is among some of the top places people are voting for to be restored in an incentive called ‘I Luoghi del Cuore’.
