Tuscany: Sting's Lush Farm and Tuscan Estate, Villa Palacio

The facade of the couple's Tuscan estate.

I am completely in love with this gorgeous Villa Palacio from singer Sting and his wife Trudi Styler in Tuscany. What a fantastic place to be and what a fabulous estate! The terrace offers views of the couple's biodynamic vineyards and the Chianti hills beyond; the landscape design is by Arabella Lennox-Boyd. Be Inspired ........

An ancient cedar of Lebanon overlooks the parterre, formally known as Il Giardino dei Limoni, or garden of the lemon trees.

The musician and his wife bought the property in 1997.

Chinese wisteria cloaks the 118-foot-long oak pergola.

The pool, installed by a previous owner, overlooks the Valdarno Superiore valley.

 

Lunch is often served on a gravel terrace in the shade of an oak tree.

Sting came up with the idea for the oversize chessboard.

Clipped boxwood frames beds of lavender, santolina, and white oleander.

Thank you for reading this blogpost.
