Overview
Nicely situated outside the medieval village of Cetona, within a 5,000 sq metre park boasting panoramic views of the rolling countryside, this grandiose villa in Tuscany is an ideal retreat for a large group holiday.
With ten bedrooms spread across three levels (including a double bedroom in the Rapunzel-style tower), and many communal spaces and cosy sitting areas, this thoughtfully restored farmhouse makes it easy for everyone to feel at home and maintain privacy while on holiday together. Many of the bedrooms include en suite bathrooms, as well as great views overlooking the vast estate.
Family-style meals are made with ease in the fully equipped kitchen and kitchenette, and enjoyed at the expansive dining table with room for the whole group. Or, choose an open-air dining experience on the terrace paired with breathtaking sunsets. Unwind by the pool on warm days, then close the day with a nightcap inside by the fireplace.
While there is much to explore close by, including important Estruscan archaeological sites, guests will also be within close reach of many other historic towns, provinces, cultural attractions, and the famous Chianti wine region. While planning your itinerary, grab a pint at Bar Cavour in the Piazza Garibaldi.
