A traditional Tuscan villa split into four self-catering apartments. Original country-house features were kept during a careful refurbishment. Each unit has a sitting/dining room, fully equipped kitchen, large bedrooms (double and single beds available) and en-suite shower rooms. Hosts live on the property and can arrange wine tours, cooking classes, museum tickets and taxis. Plenty of private corners in the garden for quiet moments or al fresco hangs.

Outdoor swimming pool and a large garden for lounging. BBQ area for casual dinners. Free on-site parking and Wi‑Fi. Laundry, ironing and a safe-deposit box available. Friendly multilingual staff on hand (English, Italian, French).

No formal breakfast service, but a breakfast basket can be delivered to your apartment if ordered 24 hours ahead. Fully equipped kitchens mean true self-catering freedom. Use the BBQ or let hosts set up local wine tastings and cooking experiences to taste authentic Tuscan flavors.
