There is half a millennium of history attached to Villa Leonessa, whose spacious and stylish interiors are the result of a thorough restoration undertaken just three years ago, bringing the mod.cons into the 21st century while retaining as much of the 15th century character and features as possible.

The Villa is built into a hillside, and functions on different levels with private sitting areas and entrances.
Living Room: a huge light room, very simple, with a pale light-reflective floor, a great butch fireplace for winter cosiness, and furniture that is the apotheosis of wit and comfort.
Kitchen: Rugged simplicity in a professional kitchen with everything you could possibly want for crowd catering, a traditional open brazier, a double oven, freezer, dishwasher plus a good, big, solid wooden dining table and comfortable seating. Cookery courses take place here, for those who desire.
Studio: An indoors/outdoors space, with a sheltered terrace outside with an old open oven, where you can lounge or dine.
Each of the apartments is airy, open plan and themed for colour, and each has its own TV, wall-safe and wi-fi internet.

Studio 1: With colour reference of Caribbean seas, and dedicated to the moon, this apartment has a soothing view of woodland and its own secluded garden corner. There is a small but efficient kitchen area, and the studio is furnished with a sofa that can convert into a second double bed. It has a bathroom with a shower.

Studio 2: Spruce green is the colour that identifies this heavily beamed apartment, named after this planet, in which there is a neat kitchen area, double bed, and a sofa that converts to a double bed. It has a large bathroom complete with an antique carved stone basin.

Studio 3: Named after the stars, the dominating colour here is the lavender of the distant hills as the stars begin to show. Furnished like the previous two with a double bed, a sofa that converts to another double bed, a kitchen area, and a large bathroom equipped with a shower and an antique stone basin. It has two sets of doors that open straight into peaceful wooded countryside.

Studio 4: Appropriate glowing orange characterises this apartment named for the sun. It has two rooms, one whose barrel vaulted ceiling dates back to the 15th century. As before the suite has a cooking area, a double bed and a sofa bed - in this instance in separate rooms - and a spacious bathroom containing an antique basin. It has its own garden.
Studio 5: Heavenly blue walls give this single person separate building a peaceful ambience, making it a perfect refuge for the solitary traveller. It has a private garden, and within there is a single bed, a desk at which to write your masterpiece - or postcards home - a wardrobe, fridge, and a large bathroom.
