Summary

Terrubino is an elegant private villa that is part of a large 250 acre wine making estate that also makes olive oil, honey and rents a 12 room agriturismo.   The estate is surrounded by vineyards which produce a number of wines, from Chianti Classico, as well as Super Tuscans, made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah.  The river Arbia, mentioned in Dante’s Divine Comedy borders the property for 3kms and is great spot for a picnic during the summer.

Terrubino is the personal home of the owners of this large estate, and enjoys an idyllic, private hilltop position with sweeping views.  Terrubino, the original structure dating back to the 13^th century, has a long private drive with an electric gated entrance lined with cypress trees.   For the interior, the owners have chosen beautiful fabrics throughout to compliment the elegant furnishings in addition to travertine marble floors, and soft colored parquet floors in the main living areas upstairs incorporated into the main bedrooms throughout.
