Villa Mangiacane - San Casciano. Un luogo magico tra storia e leggenda.

Villa Mangiacane - San Casciano

Difficile trovare un modo migliore per descrivere Villa Mangiacane, residenza d'epoca del XVI secolo situata nel cuore della Toscana e del Chianti Classico, appena fuori la città di Firenze. Proprio la leggenda vuole che Michelangelo abbia partecipato al progetto della Villa realizzata per il Cardinale Francesco Maria Machiavelli, zio del celebre Niccolò Macchiavelli. La villa fu acquistata dal Marchese Mazzei e rimase proprietà di questa famiglia fino alla metà del XX secolo. In questo periodo un imprenditore Sudafricano acquistò la dimora e la trasformò in un lussuoso hotel arricchito da mostre di arte contemporanea, pareti affrescate e romantici letti a baldacchino. Oggi Villa Mangiacane accoglie i suoi ospiti in raffinate camere e suite, tra cui l'esclusiva Royal Suite, che affacciano sul giardino e sulle vigne della residenza dove si producono vini come il Chianti Classico D.O.C.G e l'Aleah I.G.T. e il Shamiso.
