This marvelous villa is situated in a panoramic position, in central Tuscany, just a few miles from San gimignano and Volterra, and less than an hour from Florence, Siena and the coast. It offers hospitality in a magnificent villa dating back to the 16th century, and in a number of apartments located in the converted farm houses surrounding the main house. The overall capacity is over 80 guests, in a weekly, Saturday to Saturday booking. The main villa reflects the simple and powerful style of Tuscan noble residences. Rented as a whole structure, with 8 double bedrooms, large reception rooms, a formal garden and private swimming pool. The remaining accommodation in the surrounding buildings is in a less formal style, in the converted school house, and farm buildings, all converted to an impeccable standard. The furnishings are in perfect harmony with the importance of the buildings. Great attention has been paid to details; reflecting the villas class and noble history. A stunning ground floor hall - originally used as a coach house, with beautiful arched brick ceiling - is available for the wedding reception, if weather does not allow an outside setting. The villa is surrounded by wonderful parkland, with two lakes, both ideal spots for picnics and relaxing strolls.
