Saint-Nicolas à Olmeto - Tour et église du XIIIe siècle

Welcome to Tenuta San Niccolò, a truly unique historical estate perched atop a panoramic hill in Incisa Valdarno, just 15 km from Florence. This enchanting place includes a perfectly preserved medieval tower, a restored 13th-century church, and several independent living units, all immersed in a private park of over 14 hectares featuring meadows, olive groves, vineyards, and woods.

✨ An experience of history and beauty
Originally a church and rectory, Tenuta San Niccolò is a journey through time. Every corner tells a story: stone walls, exposed beam ceilings, 19th-century stuccos, and loggias with elliptical arches create an authentic and evocative atmosphere. The central tower, built with massive blocks of rough stone, forms the heart of the residence and rises over three floors with breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.
