The Villa
Over the years the
Villa has been a noble residence and a base for the important
agricultural work of the farm. Its architecture dates back to 1780 and
it retains its unaltered original characteristics: large fireplaces,
frescoes, ancient cotto floors and period furnishings.
Coming
through from the Italian garden, the entrance opens onto the Reception,
the Loggia Room, and the Quattro Stagioni Room, the latter two used for
the Restaurant.
The Turchetto (Turquoise) Room, named for the
dominant colour of the furnishings, the Stemmi Room, eight classic
bedrooms and two suites are situated on the upper floors.
The
closed roof terrace with its magnificent views also hosts an internet
point for Guests. The Villa and surrounding gardens provide wireless
connection. The classic bedrooms have either a double bed or two single
beds.
Each comfortable bedroom has a mini-bar,
safe,
television with satellite channels, telephone with direct external
line, adsl internet access, air conditioning and heating, with showers,
hair-driers and magnifying mirrors in the bathrooms.
The suites are made up of a bedroom with a double bed and a
separate sitting room with armchairs and a couch.
Limonaia
The
formal Italian garden is decorated with large terracotta vases
containing lemon and orange plants: to protect these plants in the
winter months a lemon house, or limonaia, with large arched windows was
built in around 1750.
An area of the Limonaia has been made into
four superior bedrooms, each made up of a spacious bedroom with double
bed or two single beds and a comfortable reading area with armchairs.
Each bedroom
offers a high degree of comfort: mini-bar, safe, television with
satellite channels, telephone with direct external line, adsl internet
access, air conditioning and heating.
Each bathroom has a bath and shower, a
hairdryer and a magnifying mirror.
The rooms are level with the garden and each room has its own
terrace with wrought iron chairs and table.
Casa dei Gelsi
An
engraving in the stonework indicates that the farmhouse was built in
1639. The farmers who lived here planted mulberry trees (gelsi) around
the house - trees once used for raising silkworms and that are now
ancient and majestic.
There are five suites on the two floors,
two of which are dedicated to offering hospitality to families with one
or two children.
The suites are made up of a bedroom with
double bed or two single beds and a separate sitting room with
armchairs and a couch: traditional furnishings with Montefalco fabrics
and a high degree of comfort with a mini-bar, safe, television with
satellite channels, telephone with direct external line, adsl internet
access, air conditioning and heating, with shower or bath, hair-drier
and magnifying mirror in the bathrooms.
Olivaia
The
original agricultural use of this two storey farm house is immortalized
in the fountain made with a round mill stone situated in front of the
building: the upper floor was used to store and dry olives while the
ground floor housed the millstone and the “ziraia”, where the olive oil
was stored in large terracotta urns.
There are four superior bedrooms
on the two floors, each made up of a spacious bedroom with double bed
or two single beds and a comfortable reading area with armchairs.
Each
bedroom offers a high degree of comfort: a mini-bar, safe, television
with satellite channels, telephone with direct external line, adsl
internet access, air conditioning and heating.
The bathrooms are equipped with showers,
hairdryers and magnifying mirrors.
A classic bedroom on the ground floor is available for
differently-abled guests (on request).
Olivi
Separated
from the Olivaia by a charming path with cotto steps, Olivi is a
delightful stone house surrounded by centuries old olive trees that are
still cultivated, and as enchanting as living sculptures.
There are four classic bedrooms on the two
floors, each made up of a spacious bedroom with double bed or two
single beds and a reading area with armchairs.
Each
bedroom offers a high degree of comfort: a mini-bar, safe, television
with satellite channels, telephone with direct external line, adsl
internet access, air conditioning and heating.
