The Villa belongs to Tenuta Larnianone, a family run wine estate of 340 acres, that counts 8 different Villas and Apartments surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, at 6 km from Siena. The Estate is completely immersed in the countryside (you need a car to get to the grocery!) but it's only 13' far from the closest supermarket and about 20' to Siena's city center.
What to expect:
Once a refuge for travelers and pilgrims along the Via Francigena, Montelisi is now a enchanting Villa surrounded by olive tree. It consists of three floors and overlooks the surrounding hills, providing beautiful views from each window and from the balcony. Montelisi can accommodate 8 people. If needed 2 beds for children under the age of 12 can be added. The villa has 4 bedrooms with their own bathroom, a large living room with a pool table, a living room with a large fireplace, and a large kitchen. The inner courtyard is an ideal space to prepare charming dinners with a breathtaking view on the two towers of Siena: the tower of “Mangia” and Siena's Cathedral tower. Guests have access to a shared swimming pool about 800 m away (inside the property).
