Description
Tucked away in the rolling hills of Tuscany, Villa Zelia is a stunning retreat, winery, and spa, ensuring up to 26 guests across 13 bedrooms can enjoy the utmost of Tuscan hospitality and elegance. Surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, and enchanting woods, Villa Zelia is ideal for groups of friends, family reunions, events, and those simply seeking relaxation and sensory adventure.
Upon entering the villa's grounds, guests are greeted by the typical (but no less spectacular) Tuscan sight of silver-green olive groves and vineyards running away like swathes of green corduroy. The villa itself, a testament to traditional Tuscan architecture, boasts stone and wooden beams, large spaces, and a rustic décor that draws you into the history and pastimes of this beautiful region.
Stepping into Villa Zelia, guests will find a spacious living and dining area where you can relax in deep Chesterfield sofas or sit by large windows looking out onto the lush greenery and enjoy the restaurant's delicious breakfast, lunch, or dinner service. Thanks to the Le Buche winery being on site, dishes are paired with wines produced from the vines you're looking at. It's hard to find a better local taste of Tuscany than that!
When it comes to the rooms, there is no shortage of comfort and traditional charm. Each room has terracotta floors, wooden-beamed ceilings, and rustic furnishings, taking its name from timeless grape varietals. The rooms come in a wide variety, from Pugnitello with its king-sized bed and private terrace to Tempore with its ensuite marble bathroom with a walk-in shower. Other rooms feature extra sleeping arrangements, such as sofa beds, if numbers are a priority. Nevertheless, thanks to a range of rooms of various sizes and amenities, there is something to suit every guest's needs.
Regarding guests' needs, the onsite spa has a massage room, relaxation and herbal tea room, hydromassages, a swimming pool with counter-current swimming, emotional showers, a Turkish bath, and a Finnish sauna. And if you like to balance out your relaxation with some exercise, fear not. There's also a fabulous fitness room complete with standing bikes and weights.
Stepping outside into the lush gardens, a sumptuous swimming pool awaits, surrounded by a travertine terrace brimming with sun loungers and shady pergolas. The panoramic views of the Tuscan countryside provide a breathtaking backdrop for leisurely afternoons spent sipping local wines and basking in the warm Mediterranean sun.
