Description
Villa Airone epitomises Tuscan grace and charm - a large, elegant, stand-alone farmhouse style home clad in terracotta roofing and ochre-toned exteriors with pretty olive-hued shutters, overlooking the wonderful Renaissance-esque hills and woods. While the traditional features convey authentic Tuscan style - exposed timber beams, barn style buildings and white-washed oak flooring - the interiors are finished with perfect contemporary polish and quality.
Set in a rural spot, with wonderful far reaching views, guests will stop to draw breath as they encounter this luxuriantly-quirky home which embodies understated prestige of impeccable taste and style. Stunningly secluded in a rustic spot surrounded by rolling hills, Villa Airone is framed by trellis-covered verandas with a “cloister” feel, balconies offering panoramic views and expansive lawns.
The beautiful pool, with azure waters is framed by generously proportioned decking space with great lounging potential and comfortable day beds; there is a choice of outdoor dining areas, from the pool side gazebo style al fresco spot - ideal for afternoon nibbles or a post swim breakfast of fresh coffee and pastry, to the shaded veranda complete with outdoor kitchenette and barbecue, ideal for evening meals as a family or group. Imagine sitting back at the end of a day on the beach, as the sun softens over the hills, enjoying aperitivi and a local wine!
The living spaces are chic and classic - finished with panache and style, wonderfully selected furnishings in quality raw materials, whilst artefects, wonderful artwork and ambient lighting make this space very much and “home from home” - it couldn’t be further from a sterile, anonymous holiday home.
Large open plan living is broken up into naturally separate spaces, the wonderful solid wood table will easy seat parties of up to twelve, whilst every comfort is provided whether guests be holidaying in summer or winter. Leather, mahogany, solid wood, marble and stone - bookshelves with interesting reads and eastern spiritualism inspired statues - this home is brimming with character and individual verve.
The piece de resistance is the simply sensually designed underground indoor pool, available as an extra service to hire in the winter and spring months, with deep crimson walls and dim wash lighting, it is a haven for unwinding and relaxation away from the bustle of the outdoor world.
The kitchen is both smart and functional - great for eating in, whether it be children’s meals or afternoon snacks, or relaxed breakfasts. It provides state of the art fittings and a chic monochrome colour-scheme, whilst the views of the wonderful rolling hills are visible from every angle.
Each of the five bedrooms finished with impeccable taste and style, each with its own bathroom and far reaching views, elegant design accents with stunningly selected furnishings, crisp quality bed linen and abundant fluffy towels.
For a stylish, effortlessly luxurious and prestigious Tuscan holiday environment, where subtle opulence abounds, a sense of bygone years with the faithful preservation of original features, whilst every impeccably placed modern touch is integrated, including helpful on hand staff, simply look no further!
