The Villa belongs to Tenuta Larnianone, a family run wine estate of 340 acres, that counts 8 different Villas and Apartments surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, at 5km from Siena. The Estate is completely immersed in the countryside (you need a car to get to the grocery!) but is only 13 minutes to the closest supermarket and about 20 to Siena's city center.
What to expect:
Villa Cucule (about 350 square meters) can accommodate 10 people and two kids under 12 years old. From the Villa you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Val D'Orcia (that is the Unesco'list of World Heritage Sites) and Monte Amiata. The Villa is surrounded by wheat fields which, depending on the seasons, are colored in a bright green or golden blonde. Guests have access to a large shared swimming pool, about a kilometer away. The furniture is traditional but at the same time functional. On the ground floor there is a large living room, a dining room and a modern kitchen overlooking the garden. The outdoor pergola, with its travertine table, allows you to organize pleasant dinners on summer evenings. On the first floor there are the 5 bedrooms with their own bathrooms, and a sitting room with fireplace.
