Villa San Lorenzo in brief:

The estate consists of 10 hectares of land including 3 hectares of woodland, mainly oaks and Turkey oaks, a 1500 square metre pond as well as 6,5 hectares of lawn making the property an ideal site for vineyards and olive-trees. Its ideal location and its excellent exposure to the sun make the land suitable for the production of Tuscan wine and olive-oil. The villa is surrounded by a 5000 square metre garden. The estate may be intended for residential purposes or to house a relais or a beauty farm. The same area was chosen by the Antinori family to build a huge wine bottling plant and the construction of an eighteen-hole golf course to be included in the main international tours is envisaged in the near future.
