Villa Le Sorti is located
on the fiorentine hills, recently and completely restored, it was built
about the XV century. In the course of ages it become at first a convent
and then a magnificent aristocratic "Villa", with a delicious
chapel available for wedding and ceremonies. The estate is surrounded
by 57 hectars with vineyards, olive groves and woods. .
The
first part of this complex on the doorstep of Florence was built at the
end of the XIV Sec.
Situated on a strategic position in the Florentine Chianti hills, upon
Lastra a Signa, this area is characterized by a formidable acoustics.
Because of this reason this area was infected by bandits, waiting for
the precious goods from and towards the city of Florence. The merchants
called this position “The Fates” because everyone, crossing
this locality, was subjected to good and bad fortune in order to preserve
the goods and to arrive uninjured..
Subsequently
the structure became a monastery, probably Jesuit. It was completed at
the end of the XV Sec., at the same time of the construction of the town
walls of Malmantile (where Castruccio Castracani’s vicissitudes
took place). During the restoration some
valuable architectural parts and a stone engraved with the latin maxim
“Deo iuvante prosperae sortes erunt” were found. The latin
maxim is engraved on the heraldic coat of arms of the property. Close to the Villa the apartment is furnished
