Description
Villa Rossa is an excellent choice if you are searching for the ideal place to stay with a larger group. With ten bedrooms split between four separate apartments, this historic farmhouse offers group accommodation but also a chance for some privacy. As the house is set within an exclusive wine estate, you may also use the fantastic facilities and the beautiful grounds.
Villa Rossa is a colourful yet traditional farmhouse in a landscape of olive groves and vineyards that have made up this vast estate since the early 14th century. Over the centuries, the land has passed between various noble families and local counts, and the buildings you see today were added over time. As you approach the estate, through the open countryside, you will see the last building to be added- the principal palatial villa, which is the heart of the estate. Villa Rossa is just a short stroll away from this main villa so you can visit the landscaped gardens or the sumptuous restaurant in the villa.
The large and spacious farmhouse has ten bedrooms and eight bathrooms available to guests. These bedrooms and bathrooms have been separated into apartments, which open into the main house and its communal kitchen, dining and living rooms. Whichever apartment you sleep in, you will find warm and welcoming bedrooms, high-quality bathrooms, plus a living room with a kitchenette in each. When you wish to spend time with your whole party, walk through the dividing doors into the communal spaces or gather together in the leafy gardens. The farmhouse has been tastefully decorated to honour the property's age; the original ceiling beams and fireplaces have been preserved, and in-keeping country-style kitchens have been added. Every effort has been made to bring a touch of modernity to the home with the addition of comfy sofas, flatscreen TVs, air conditioning and Wi-Fi.
Outdoors, the garden is just as lovely as the home and boasts a private swimming pool, an al-fresco dining area, plus sweeping lawns shaded by towering trees. You can also walk into the more expansive estate to follow hiking or walking trails.
Guests of Villa Rossa will have plenty to keep them busy, from truffle hunting walks, horse riding, star gazing, scenic picnics and cookery classes. All these and many more can be arranged for you by the concierge team. As the home is set within a wine estate, you can also sample the wines on-site and tour the grounds with the owners.
Aside from the fantastic facilities within the home and the more comprehensive property, you have the breathtaking Tuscan countryside on your doorstep and an array of sleepy villages and historic towns to visit. Though the villa is rurally located, you can discover shops, restaurants, sporting opportunities plus historic sites such as castles within a 10km radius of the home!
Just 17km away, you can also drive to the fantastic city of Florence, filled with countless museums, galleries, restaurants and ancient buildings. Lovers of art and history will be right at home here and may wish to visit more than once to see everything the city offers. Booking a guided tour is a great way to get to know the city.
