Overview
Villa Mimi is a vivacious and elegant villa executed with traditional, decorative charm and ornate, period features nestled in a rustic spot near Siena.
Restored with panache and charisma, set regally on a hilltop, this home is surrounded by olive groves and undulating lawns overlooking the scenic Val di Chiana. Offering a whitewashed, imperial facade and sloping terracotta tiled roofs, this pretty home is a majestic sight, nestled in a tranquil, secluded spot.
This alluring villa accommodates eighteen guests across nine bedrooms, each with their own bathroom - some of them even have their own fireplace and jacuzzi! This stunning home is decoratively lavish and ornate, unapologetically indulgent!
Featuring soft upholstery, antique furnishings and elaborate, baroque touches such as oil paintings and sumptuous fabrics blend to create an immaculately preserved home with historical intrigue as well as modern-day comfort. Charmingly rococo, little touches such as angel wall figurines and antique gilded frames, add to the sophisticated appeal of this home.
The large, yet cosy drawing-room centres around the huge, original fireplace. Dining can be formal, set around the magnificent solid wood table or more informal out on the terrace or in a shaded spot on the lawns.
The bedrooms are graceful abodes of calm and serenity, finished in soft powdery tones and sensual fabrics. Every detail has been conscientiously restored and executed with a gorgeous, ornate touch at Villa Mimi, whilst all the contemporary comforts are in place, such as wi-fi, television and air conditioning.
There are two swimming pools: one indoor heated with whirlpool and sauna, the other one in the garden with bathing area for relaxing time. The beautiful, sedate lawns at Villa Mimi are pristinely manicured, with far reaching rural views, whilst the outdoor pool has an elegant gazebo, dazzling terrace and array of sun loungers.
Villa Mimi offers a true haven of style and tranquillity, providing a faithful slice of restored eighteenth-century glamour and grandeur, as well as a supremely comfortable base for a family or group to discover Tuscany!

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesChildren of all ages will enjoy this charming home with its abundant historical character and enchanting grounds. Fully executed for relaxed family living, children will be able to safely roam the grounds and discover its mysteries or spend hours splashing in the pool.
For day trips, among the highlights for children in Tuscany, Pinocchio Park at Collodi - home to a theme park dedicated to Pinocchio and his adventures, with activities like literary itineraries, buildings and sculptures set amidst the greenery, art exhibitions and illustrations, puppet making workshops and more. Rather than being a Disney style park, it is more a cultural and natural environment, very Italian in style.
Pistoia zoo is located in the hills near Pistoia and is one of the most popular zoos in Italy; covering a space of seven hectares and an array of species for a fun and educational day out.
The water park, Aqua Village is located in Follonica, near Grosseto, and offers a range of slides and rides from gentle toddler splash pools to more thrill-seeker level for older children.
From hiking, to horse riding, to watersports, to cultural heritage, children of all ages will learn so much from a visit to Tuscany: what could be more enchanting than a day of dolphin watching in the reserve known as Pelagos Sanctuary in Viareggio, followed by a meal in a local hilltop restaurant - offering sublime, flavoursome local specialities followed by wonderful gelato and cream filled pastry treats that the region is known for.

Really lovely Italian house with fantastic views
Really lovely Italian house with fantastic views from every part of the house. Lovely pools indoor and out. The villa is in a great position for exploring a lovely part of Tuscany.
We had a lovely welcome from Stefano the manager and also a great chef. He cooked us a wonderful meal one night. There is a lovely local restaurant just down the road where we had a 5 hour Easter lunch with all the locals.. We were 3 generations of extended family and everyone enjoyed the house and had a great time. Thank you Oliver travels I would highly recommend a holiday here and a meal cooked by Stefano. -
