Few estates carry their history in a single glance, but Villa Antinori di Monte Aguglioni wears five centuries lightly.
This 16th-century villa on the hills above Florence once belonged to the family of Francesco del Giocondo, whose wife, Lisa Gherardini, sat for Leonardo da Vinci and became the face of the ‘Mona Lisa’. It is said she may have posed for the master in one of the villa’s own rooms.
Later home to the Antinori wine dynasty, the estate lent its façade to a Chianti Classico label known across the world.
Today its 2,800-square-meter manor holds grand reception halls, a library, and a panoramic terrace over the Florentine plain, while the surrounding 27 hectares hold an Italian garden by Cecil Pinsent, a private chapel, vineyards, and olive groves.
