    Lovely Four Bedrooms, Three Baths, All Comforts, Wooded Garden

    Villa La Pace is a beautifully furnished, inviting and comfortable home nestled into a wooded garden setting. It is located in a 14th c. town, a ten minute walk on foot, which has a general store, a grocery and wine store, a post office, a restaurant, an English speaking travel agency, three coffee bars and two churches. The home is on an acre of wooded park which provides shade in summer. Unlike much of Italy the home and its surrounding area are quiet and peaceful. At night one can stargaze as there is no ambient light. The beautiful city of Siena is visible from the balcony. The style of the home is classic Tuscan, furnished with country antiques found and restored locally. The bedrooms are spacious and well furnished. All are decorated in Tuscan antiques with armadio. (Armoire). All have large shuttered windows. The home has been updated to accommodate American standards, so the kitchen has every amenity such as a Whirlpool refrigerator, dishwasher, blender, toaster, microwave, oven, stovetop, and ample granite counter space. Recently we added a gas grill on the balcony which makes outdoor cooking a breeze.

    On the ground floor is another apartment, sometimes used as an artist's atelier, with a sofa bed and fireplace. There is also a washing machine and half bath. It is accessible by a central interior staircase.

    Villa la Pace has an elegant, spacious feel to it, which induces a peaceful vacation. That's why we named it "peace palace"; Villa la Pace.

    Why Carol chose Casciano

    Villa la Pace (Peace Palace) is a dream-come-true for me. Ever since my parents took us to Siena at the age of 14, I cherished the idea of owning a home in Tuscany. I have made some wonderful friends in the area, have enjoyed some phenomenal food and wine, and participated in the fascinating culture of the Palio of Siena. This part of Tuscany is one hour from the most beautiful, clean beaches of Tuscany, Castiglione della Pescaia. There is also horseback riding nearby, and wonderful walks. At night you can see all the stars in the heavens.

    What makes this Villa unique

    Since I am American raised, I wanted to bring the home to a high level of standard for my guests and family. There is 24/7 abundant hot water. There is a breakfast terrace which overlooks the wooded backyard and from which you can see Siena. There is a flat screen tv with many English and Italian DVDs. There are two full baths, comfortable mattresses, and each room is designed in an elegant Tuscan style. My personal artwork is all over the house and on the walls.
