The working fireplace is surrounded by modern Italian furniture along with the family's antiques.
The classical designed kitchen is airy and light, in butter yellow including the painted wood paneling. It's easy to spend time here if you love to cook as it is well equipped for you or the hired professional chef that is available with advance notice.

The villa sits on a 5 acre estate on the edge of a beautiful, sleepy village. The gardens were designed by a famous landscape architect and is divided into several themed gardens, each with their own character contributing to a cozy and intimate atmosphere.

Stroll in the Central Garden to enjoy the sights and smells of a classical Italian garden: several fountains, neatly trimmed hedges mixed in with tall cypresses, all set against an evocative panorama of the Tuscan hills. Scents from the lemon trees that line a water channel are used for the artisnal production of the villas delicious juices, dried fruits and limoncello which you are able to buy. There is a Wedding Garden with romantic white marble gazebo where weddings can be officiated or you can just sit under the shade on a sunny day. There is an Art Garden with an elegant travertine fountain and statures, the vegetable garden is a source of organically grown produce for the estate's kitchens. You can pick kiwis from the 50-meter-long pergola or taste the villas jams and candied fruit. Olive trees on the site produce extra virgin olive oil. All of these items are used by the villa chef. The swimming pool is located 50 meters from the house, on the other side of the Italian Garden and is perfect for sunbathing or a leisurly swim. Chaises and umbrellas accommodate all of you as you relax with a refreshing cool drink.
