Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This characterful villa is quintessential Tuscany, from the country vistas to the traditional brick-and-stone interiors. Living spaces are split across a main house and two annexes, offering larger groups plenty of privacy – but, in true Italian style, the country kitchen is the central gathering space. Choose between two alfresco dining spots – both blissfully shaded – or gather under the beams in the historic dining room. The pool is made for lazy afternoons, but there are lots of cosy corners inside where you might unwind (with the windows open to the views). You won't find much in the local village of Mensano, but Siena and San Gimignano are both within driving distance.
