PoggioTorselli

Villa Poggio Torselli, Estate of the Day

Now as far as I know Angelina and Brad aren't rumored to buy this Italian villa and winery, but if they are in the market for a European villa and winery as has been reported before, Villa Poggio Torselli should be on their list. This property in the area of the San Casciano Hills near Florence has it all: beauty, expanse and quite the pedigree, it has been the property of some of the most famous patrician families in Tuscany including Macchiavelli, Corsini, Strozzi and Orlandini,who owned the villa until 1722. No wonder this is a national monument. The landscape is planted with olive groves, vineyards and cypresses. The estate is also a functioning agricultural business producing several types of wine, olive oil and honey.

The villa itself features frescoed decorations of the seasons echoing the gifts of the seasons shown in the elaborate ornamental gardens surrounding the villa. It's one of the more expensive properties we have seen but I'd take this over some of the more monumental homes in the States any day. It is listed at $86,846,000 by the Katzen Group. After the jump, your most extravagant Tuscan fantasy come to life.
