Villa le Sorelle

Full Description

It has recently been meticulously restored by the owners, retaining traditional features, and also adding reclaimed period ceiling beams, doors, bricks for the floors and old oak floor boards. The result is a beautiful and authentic old farmhouse, with all the modern amenities for a relaxing and comfortable holiday. Featured in The best Tuscany villa rentals for visiting Italy’s summer festivals, this villa offers the perfect base for experiencing Tuscany’s vibrant summer culture.

Outside, there are several furnished patios for relaxing and enjoying an al fresco lunch or dinner outdoors, as well as the wonderful views. There is also a salt water lap pool (18 x 4m), surrounded by local stones, agapanthus, lavender and white roses. The pool can also be heated on request (payable extra).

The accommodation is in two wings, including six bedrooms and six bathrooms, two living rooms, a dining area, a main kitchen and two service kitchens. Amenities include air conditioning, heating, window screens, Hi-Fi, satellite TV, DVD player and Wi-Fi internet. Massages (shiatsu or ayrveda) and yoga instruction can be arranged in the yoga/massage studio just 100m from the villa, or in the garden of the villa.
