GROUND FLOOR - Continued from above
From the living room you reach the formal dining room with an impressive Tuscan table that can accommodate all twenty-two guests. This room has a large frescoed ceiling. From the other side of the large living room you enter a magnificent professional kitchen that also has French doors leading out to the garden and outdoor dining area. It is a cook's dream, with all the latest professional equipment, able to prepare a Tuscan feast for one hundred or a simple breakfast for one - this kitchen will be a highlight for those that love to cook and what better place to do it than while in Italy! Beyond the kitchen is the pantry and guest bathroom as well as a fully equipped laundry room, everything neatly in its place, it includes a professional washing machine, dryer, iron and ironing board. There are an additional two guest bathrooms that are handicap accessible as well as an elevator to whisk your luggage conveniently upstairs.
FIRST FLOOR
Take the elevator or the staircase up to the first floor. At the stairs' landing the glass and mirrored elevator is on your right followed by a long hall way that runs along the north side of the villa. Just in front of the elevator there is a double bedroom with en suite bathroom with shower. Across the hall there are four bedroom suites lined along the hallway that are mirror images of each other. Each suite is elegantly furnished and decorated with beautiful hand-painted ceilings in soft relaxing colors. All bedrooms have their own independent settings so that you can set the heat or air conditioning to your personal comfort.
As you open the door to any of these suites, the floor plan is the same. You arrive in the entrance way and to your left is a fully equipped bathroom with marble tub with shower. Further on down the hallway is a walk in closet with safe and ample space for clothes as well as a luggage rack. Beyond the walk in closet is a cozy living room area with a very comfortable sofa bed and for your convenience each bedroom has a small refrigerator or 'Frigobar'. From the small living area, an open staircase leads to the loft en suite bedroom which has two twin beds that can be combined into a king bed. The room is spacious and holds a large armoire, a writing desk and a second frigobar. The en suite bathroom is just as beautiful as the one downstairs but has a large walk in shower instead of a tub. A fifth loft (sleeps 2) bedroom is at the end of the hallway, up a short flight of stairs. This bedroom is identical to the other four suites except that both bathrooms have showers instead of a bath and shower.
SECOND FLOOR
Continue up the staircase or take the elevator to the second floor. On the hallway behind the first door on the left is a king bedroom en suite bathroom with tub and shower. The second bedroom we find facing the formal gardens is a king bedroom suite with a balcony overlooking the formal gardens, this room also has a private study as well as an en suite bathroom with shower. Further down the hall way, a cozy living room and a king bedroom with en suite bath. Two additional double bedrooms that also face the formal gardens share a large bathroom at the end of the hallway.
THE LAWNS, FORMAL ITALIAN GARDENS , AND SWIMMING POOL AREA
As with all formal Italian villas, the immediate area around the house has fine pea - gravel that leads to the sprawling lawns that are well planned out. Tables and chairs that can comfortably accommodate forty guests are under a large white canopied gazebo. A paved path or a flight of steps, takes you to the walled formal gardens that have been re-created from the original gardens of 1600's complete with a large fountain and ideal for leisurely strolls of solitude and quietness. The air is scented by the nearby walls of roses and over 100 potted lemon and grapefruit trees which are scattered throughout the property. The views from the formal gardens look out over the valley and a quaint village. Once through the formal gardens, you are at the large swimming pool area, with banks of roses and jasmine climbing two sides of the ancient wall and create a canopy for shade as well as remarkable scents of rose, jasmine, citrus and herbs. An incredible relaxing experience!
