About The Experience

Thinking of spending the holidays in Tuscany but not sure how to accommodate your large group? We have just the villa for you! Made up of three private apartments, each with their own living room and fully equipped kitchen, this Tuscany accommodation would best suit three families or groups of friends. While one of the apartments has a large dining room big enough for everyone to share meals together, there is also a large swimming pool. The location gets even better! Within walking distance are restaurants, a market, and a post office, but towns like Cortona with their ancient tombs and local shops, Lake Trasimeno where you can play water sports, and Siena with all its rich history and culture, are all but a day trip away!

Location Description

The villa is located within walking distance to the small town of Pozzo della Chiana where you will find restaurants, a market, and a post office. Foiano della Chiana is six kilometers away and features a golf course, restaurants, and shops, but its claim to fame is its annual carnival which first began in the year 1539 and is the oldest in Italy. The four districts of the town (Bombolo, Azzurri, Rustici, and Nottambuli) compete for the Carnival’s Cup by trying to build the most impressive and creative float. The ancient Etruscan town of Cortona is short drive away and is full of art, history, and culture. Tour frescoed churches from the 13th century; explore the original city walls, and then visit an art exhibit in the 16th century fortress. You are also sure to find restaurants featuring delicious Tuscan dishes and ancient tombs dating back to the second century BC. There are plenty of local shops selling antiques, crafts, wines, and olive oils. The beaches of Lake Trasimeno would provide for a pleasant day trip, as well. Here you can go wind surfing, rent a boat, and view the ancient architecture surrounding the waters. Siena is one of Italy's most beautiful cities and it is also close enough for a day trip. It is filled with art, history, and traditions as well as gothic palaces, churches and museums. Explore it all and be sure to visit the monuments like the Museo Civico, Il Duomo, Il Battistero, and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale Etrusco - the list is endless.
