The existence of this villa has been documented since the XVIII century, but the current layout is the result of a transformation process that took place between 1870 and 1885, when the property belonged to a Sienese aristocrat living in Florence.
The park covers an area of around three hectares and occupies a portion of sloping land in front of the villa that stretches to the south and to the west and is enclosed by a wall. It is divided into two parts: the first part consists of a flower garden situated on the higher ground, whereas the lower part, which includes a swimming pool for guests to use, with bathrooms and changing rooms, is a true romantic park with large wooded areas crossed by paths that suddenly open up to reveal stunning views of the Tuscan hills.
The water features are one of the particularly distinctive elements of the garden, consisting of several fountains, structures characterized by water play and, above all, the Nymphaeum, also known as "Venus' pool". The park also has a large brick and cast iron aviary, a lemon orchard and a rich collection of large citrus trees.

Nous avons fait un séjour de 2 semaines à cet endroit. Notre appartement était parfait pour nous. L'emplacement est très beau dans un décor de nature omniprésente . La quiétude des lieux était parfaite pour le repos et la proximité des villages aussi. Le personnel très courtois et souriant. On y retournera !

We only spent 3 nights at this property and it was absolutely wonderful! the site is beautiful between olive trees and vineyards! we loved the apartment and the quietness of the place. Nothing to say except we will definitely return !!!!

Très bel endroit avec des logements disséminés dans le domaine, dans les vignes, à la campagne, au calme. La piscine est commune à plusieurs logements mais début juin elle était privative la plupart du temps. Intérieur simple, pas luxueux et pas de clim. Sienne est à 15 min en voiture et tous les environs sont superbes
