- About The Experience
-
This secluded haven is a wonderful destination if you’re looking to celebrate a family reunion or gathering. It’s located on a large estate with a private swimming pool, garden, and panoramic views of the Chiana Valley and Tuscan landscape. This holiday accommodation is comprised of a main farmhouse and a dependence, which allows two families or groups of friends their own space. Guests can easily visit Cortona and Siena by taking a quick drive or explore the countryside by bike while vacationing here.
- Location Description
-
The property is located three kilometers from several food shops and ten kilometers from Foiano della Chiana. Foiano della Chiana 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. Other day trips can include Siena and Florence.

Customer Reviews
Overall:
Villa Baldacchino was everything I had hoped for in an Tuscan villa! The grounds were stunning (along with pool area, and gorgeous surrounding vineyards!). The villa was spacious, clean and decorated in the old Italy style I had imagined. It was peaceful and quiet and Jacopo, the onsite caretaker, was very accomodating and pleasant and took care of everything we needed throughout our stay. An added bonus was what seemed like our own "personal winery"--the Cantine Faralli, right across the road. I would highly recommend this villa for anyone wanting "the" Tuscan villa experience.
Surrounding Area:
The views and grounds were beyond description!
Nearby Events or Locales:
Chianacce. Not really within walking distance.
Tips or Restaurants:
Loved the restaurant at the Hotel Farneta nearby.
Directions:
I did not have a GPS and the villa was a little difficult to find the first time.

We were only disappointed by the weather that kept us from fully enjoying the grounds. The front door locked whenever it closed.

The area was a perfect combination of country and proximity to all we wanted to see and do.

Visit the vineyard next door--it is a must do!!
