If you are looking for a well appointed, comfortable place to call home during your stay in Tuscany, this is it! With 10 bedrooms and 9 baths, there is room for everyone and plenty of privacy too. The villa is located midway between Rome and Florence, 10 minutes from Chiusi and the entrance to the A1 Autostrada. It is also just 10 minutes from the train station, one of only 3 stops made by the Eurostar (fast train) between Rome and Florence.
The villa has six separate apartments; one three bedroom/two bath, two two bedroom/two bath, and three one bedroom/one bath. Each apartment has been newly renovated and is fully furnished with local antiques. The floors are terra cotta and the ceilings are brick and wood beamed and this authentic Tuscan Villa has been completely updated with modern ceramic baths and new kitchens.
The apartments are quite large, each featuring a living room (with fireplace) and full kitchen with dining area in addition to the bedroom(s) and bath(s). And there is a beautiful pool panoramically situated on a bluff overlooking the countryside. A unique feature, this villa offers a separate large salon with a great fireplace, dining area (approximately 40 feet by 50 feet) with a dining table and service for 20, separate bathrooms, and a restaurant-style kitchen great for cooking together, organizing a cooking lesson or just getting together in the evenings to talk over the day. Everything is here to create a spectacular vacation home!
In addition to renting out the villa, we also plan one or two Organized Vacation weeks, which include the following:
* Seven nights in your own apartment in our beautiful villa * A welcome wine and cheese reception * A Tuscan cooking and pasta making lesson (hosted by a local chef) * A local wine tasting and tour (in the fall, when possible, we help pick the grapes during the grape harvest!) * A wine tasting and tour of an historic winery in Montalcino (famous for their Brunello wines) * A tour of a well-known (hand-made) ceramics producer in Deruta * A visit to a local fortified village (castle) * On-site assistance with other itineraries including Florence, Rome, Siena, Assisi, Chianti, Arezzo, Cortona (home of Under the Tuscan Sun), Perugia, Orvieto, Spoletto, all within an hour or so from the villa. Nearby, there is also a newly renovated spa that specializes in thermal water treatments - there, they have the most fabulous thermal pool complete with waterfall and water jets!
The next trip will be September 27 - October 4, 2008. It is not too early to book as this trip fills up well in advance. If you are interested, please let us know.
Here is what our guests have to say about their experience at our villa:
"This has been one of the best experiences of my life" - Gail J.
"The best vacation ever! It wouldn’t have been so without all of your relationships and special touches. Tuscany is beautiful, but you make it awesome!" - Stacey N.
"This has been a non-stop peace of mind vacation" - Pete T. "This trip has far surpassed my expectations and I will never forget it"
"You exceeded our expectations, every day and we thank you, we love you and your villa, our home away from home!" - Tom S
"I can't begin to thank you for making our Tuscan adventure so memorable. Your relationship with the local people and knowledge of the area offered us opportunities we'd never experience on our own"
"What a beautiful week to be here (in Tuscany) and have a standoff on the hill with a tractor pulling a cart full of freshly harvested grapes and to see the shepherd herding the sheep down the road, to see the beautiful sunsets and storms in the valley. Thank you for your great advice, directions, wine, cheese and friendship." Patsy J.
"We all have a meaning in life and yours is giving people like us a journey worth travelling." Jennifer P.
"This trip has made me realize that we, as Americans, hurry up to relax whereas Italians relax no matter what they're doing. Thank you for letting us live this instead of tour it. The experience has been invaluable and unforgetable. I can't wait to come back. Its true, its easy to fall in love here." Leslie
"Thanks again, another wonderful trip! We could probably solo by now, but its so much fun to be with you and the groups that your network brings together. We look forward to a three-peat!" Mike M.
The villa is available for rent at all times of the year for groups up to 25. This property is an excellent choice for friends travelling together, families, reunions, corporate events, weddings (we have hosted two thusfar), and more - all will find this a wonderful and relaxing place to call home in a beautiful, well situated, not-so-touristy area of Tuscany. Please let us know if we can answer any questions. |
