Villa Mangiacane, Renaissance villa in San Casciano in Val di Pesa, Italy

Villa Mangiacane is a 15th-century estate at Sant'Andrea in Percussina, 12 km south of Florence, in the Chianti Classico zone between San Casciano in Val di Pesa and Greve in Chianti. Its Florence-facing side has a three-arch loggia with rusticated stonework and an architraved loggia above. The Machiavelli coat of arms sits on the keystone of the central ground-floor arch, and a combined Machiavelli-Strozzi crest marks the mid-16th-century additions.

The estate dates to the 15th century and preserves the architectural principles of the Renaissance with craftsmanship from that period. Its design reflects how wealthy families of that time lived and managed their property.

Wine production continues on the estate using traditional Tuscan methods, and visitors can observe the process and taste local varieties made here. This working craft tradition shapes daily life at the property and connects it to the region's agricultural heritage.

The property is best visited during warmer months, as it closes seasonally in winter. A shuttle service connects the estate to Florence, making day trips to the city convenient.

Each bedroom includes a jetted bathtub and opens to views of the surrounding Tuscan landscape and farmland. This feature creates a private retreat with direct views of the countryside from every room.
