Contact usRelaxing stay in a farmhouse in Tuscany
In addition to being a dynamic winery, Villa Le Corti in San Casciano in Val di Pesa is an oasis of charm, peace, and tranquility in the heart of the Chianti Classico area. Thanks to the recent renovation of two farmhouses within the estate, Gugliaie, and Sperone, Principe Corsini offers its guests a unique stay in an elegant farmhouse in Tuscany.
In the greenery of Villa Le Corti, you will experience a stay in direct contact with nature, full of the ancient charm of the typical country residences, just a few kilometers from Florence.
The ancient sharecropping estate of Villa Le Corti
Since the Middle Ages, the sharecropping system has been the dominant type of land tenure in the Florentine countryside. Merchants and bankers invested their profits in the countryside, buying land and dividing it into production units called farms (“poderi” in Italian).
Each farm included a farmhouse, which was occupied by the sharecropper’s family. Documents and maps preserved in the Corsini family archive reveal that Le Corti had 32 farms, each with its own farmhouse.
Gugliaie: holiday home in Chianti
Gugliaie is a farmhouse on the Villa Le Corti estate. The restoration works have preserved its original structure. Even now, it is possible to use the large wood-burning oven in the fully equipped traditional kitchen. The large and comfortable rooms, tastefully decorated, let in lots of natural light, are air-conditioned and equipped with modern private bathrooms.
Overlooking the Gugliaie vineyard, the stone farmhouse of the same name has maintained its original facade, terracotta floors, and ceilings. At the back, there is a shaded courtyard, ideal for outdoor dining. The private swimming pool is located on a terrace and has its own relaxation area. The view over the Tuscan vineyards and olive groves that hug the hills is sensational.

The structure is perfect for those who wish to spend a relaxing holiday in Tuscany, discovering the scents of nature, the flavors of good food, and the wines of the Principe Corsini estate. The name “Sperone” derives from the particular shape of the building, which develops on an unusual triangular plan.
The location combines ancient and modern comforts to ensure a unique experience in the green of the Tuscan hills. On the first floor of the apartment is the living area, consisting of a kitchenette and a dining room with a fireplace. The sleeping area develops on the second floor: a double bedroom, a twin bedroom, and a bathroom.
