Description

With spectacular views of the Tuscan landscape, Il Toscona is a newly restored independent villa with private swimming pool. The villa is spacious, well equipped and very comfortable, with exposed beams, arches and terracotta floors, and furnished with many antiques. The interior is decorated in a very contemporary style and it still retains much of its original character. Outside, the covered terrace provides the perfect place for dining alfresco with a breathtaking view over the countryside. In the garden, the panoramic swimming pool is open from the 1st of May to the 30th of September. Adjacent is a beautiful dependence consisting of a double bedroom (queen size bed) with en-suite shower bathroom. Air conditioning is available.rnrnThe property is set close to a country road, leading to a small agriturismo (about 1 km away) with a restaurant open for dinner. The nearest village is Ponte d’Arbia, reachable driving along 3 kms of a small road, (1 km unpaved), but suitable for every kind of car. In Ponte d’Arbia clients can find a bar, a grocery and a restaurant. In Buonconvento, just 3 kms from Ponte d’Arbia, there are restaurants, bars, many kind of shops and supermarket. Siena is just 23 kms away from the villa. rnrnPrice includes: Weekly linen change, utilities (water, gas, electricity), final cleaning, air conditioningrnrnAvailable upon request at additional cost: Chef service, extra maid service, babysitting

On the ground floor: entrance hall; living room with fireplace; dining room and French door to garden; a very pleasant modern equipped kitchen with oven, stove, fridge with freezer, toaster, and dishwasher. On the first floor, reachable from internal and external staircase: living room, five double bedrooms (queen size bed) each with en-suite shower bathroom. One of the bedrooms has a gallery with an extra single bed, ideal for a child. From the first floor through a flight of steps, you can reach a small living room on the ground floor, with sofa bed (French bed) and en-suite toilette suitable for persons with disabilities (no shower). This living room has a French door leading directly out to the pool. Air conditioning is available in all the rooms of the villa except in the bathrooms.

Quiet and quaint Buonconvento is worth a stop for a look at its tiny Museo d\'Arte Sacra, a two-room picture gallery with more than its fair share of works by Tuscan artists such as Duccio and Andrea di Bartolo. The highlight is a triptych with the Madonna and Saints Bernardino and Catherine by Sano di Pietro. Another must-see is Tuscany\'s most-visited abbey, Monte Oliveto Maggiore, which sits in an oasis of olive and cypress trees amid the harsh landscape of Le Crete. It was founded in 1313 by Giovanni Tolomei, a rich Sienese lawyer who, after miraculously regaining his lost sight, changed his name to Bernardo in homage to the Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, who is sometimes credited with the creation of medieval monasticism.rnrn
