Villa L'Elsa - Villa L' Elsa

Immersed in the vineyards and olive groves around the historic center of Colle val D'Elsa, on the promontory of a hill, villa d'Elsa dominates the valley, with its typically Tuscan style, delicate and traditional but at the same time equipped with every modern comfort. The charm of this villa lies in the care that Francesca and Fabio, the owners, have put into every detail. From the wooden and local stone floors, the brick and chestnut wood fireplace reminiscent of flavors of other times. The built-in kitchen with the huge hob and the island that will make you want to cook to embrace the Tuscan culture.
The large living room opens onto a huge terrace where at sunset you can enjoy an aperitif in front of an incredible panorama that opens onto the Val d'Elsa and Mount Amiata.
In the background, the swimming pool / pond (1.50 meters high in the center) which with its whirlpool will cradle you in the warmer seasons and then let you pamper yourself in the spa,
with the sauna and a purifying herbal tea.
Here everything becomes slow: life resumes its due time and the watchword becomes physical and mental "well-being".
The portion of the villa (350 m2) which can accommodate 12+2 guests extends over 4 floors connected by internal stairs and is located along the Via Francigena,

the ancient pilgrimage route towards Rome, just 7 km from the medieval town of Colle Val d'Elsa, the city of crystal with its beautiful fluvial park of the river Elsa.

The charm of this villa lies in the care that the owners have put into every detail, from furnishing to restoration respecting the original structure, stone walls and floors,

brick and chestnut wood fireplace, ceilings with exposed wooden beams, a traditional style but at the same time equipped with every modern comfort.

The ground floor leads to: the dining room with a fully equipped open kitchen area with peninsula and wood-burning oven; to the bright living room with fireplace and access to a patio

equipped with garden sitting area, barbecue and table for eating outdoors with a magnificent view of the surrounding hills covered with vineyards and olive groves.

The ground floor is completed by: 1 double bedroom with en-suite bathroom with shower and access to the garden with equipped veranda, 1 bedroom with two single beds,

bathroom with bathtub, laundry room with washing machine and tumble dryer, an open study with access to the garden, toilet at the entrance.



From the living room you access the basement: 1 double bed (separable beds , no air conditioning), sauna, bathroom with shower and access to the garden with goal nets for playing five-a-side

football.

First Floor: double bedroom with en-suite bathroom with shower and hydromassage tub, 1 twin bedroom with equipped terrace and staircase to access the garden, bathroom with shower.

Second floor: 1 double bedroom with balcony overlooking San Gimignano, 1 bedroom with 2 beds, 1 bathroom with shower.

All the bedrooms have air conditioning.

The house has a beautiful, well-kept terraced land of 2.500 m2, completely fenced, with fruit, pine and olive trees, a vegetable garden with fresh veggie is at guests' complete disposal,

a beautiful swimming pool (not heated) with whirlpool area equipped with sunbeds, deck chairs and parasol for relaxation, canopy to park 4 cars, ping pong table and slide.

The magnificent hamlet of San Gimignano, perched on a hilltop, with its characteristic medieval towers for which it took on the nickname of Manhattan of the Middle Ages is only 9 km away. Located between the cities of Siena (32 km) and Florence (56 km), it is an ideal starting point for visiting the rolling Chianti hills with its breathtaking natural landscapes and beautiful villages and castles.

A wonderful stay in the Tuscan countryside
My family and I stayed here for almost a full week in the spring, and had an amazing time. The host was extremely responsive about the check-in process leading up to the stay, during the stay whenever we had any issues, and even after our stay when we needed to recover an item that was left behind. There were some slight hiccups with the house during our stay (garage door opener was out of batteries one time and the shower drain clogged one time), but the host was proactive as can be and quick to offer support. Otherwise, the property was gorgeous, and made for a near perfect trip. Would stay here again in the future!

Tuscan beauty
Lovely well-equipped home with space and easy privacy for family groups. Lovely property with local flora and magnificent views. Pool pleasant but shallow - for cooling off but not swimming. Note: house is large and has separate (entrance, parking,property) rental section. Pool only for you however and still good privacy.

Perfect Villa for our Family Group of 7
We were a multi-generational family group of 7 and this villa was perfect for us! The villa was well-stocked with everything we needed and had a laundry room for our use. We used the villa as our central location to go on many day trips over our week stay. Francesca and her team were very communicative and great to work with. She also arranged a home-cooked meal for us at the villa and it was fantastic! Definitely listen to their advice of NOT following your navigation to get to the villa until a certain point (part of our group learned that the hard way). We would definitely come back, and recommend staying here.

Beautiful location to relax and unwind
This was our first time renting a villa in Tuscany, and it did not disappoint. Not only was the property and the location fantastic, but so was the property management group Best of Mas. Extremely accommodating to make sure how trip was easy and perfect in every way. The additional services we selected, rental car and chef dinner at the villa exceeded our expectations. Can't say enough about the amazing view, the care and details of the inside and outside spaces, and the location. This place is amazing and we would highly recommend it to anyone planning on vacationing in Tuscany. Perfect for multiple couples or families. Lots of space for everyone. Ciao Italy...until we meet again.

Amazing stay
This listing is a great description of the villa. My friends and I had an amazing stay here. The house is perfect and very spacious with everything you'd need in a home away from home. The location cannot be beat; we were able to travel to Florence, Siena, Chianti, San Gimignano, and more small towns very easily from the villa. And, when we wanted to stay home and relax, the amenities were perfect. Communication with our hosts was easy and very pleasant; they even sent a handyman to fix a broken umbrella in a timely manner. This was a perfect stay. We cannot recommend this villa enough. We will certainly be back!
