Villa Francesca

Villa Francesca details

This old converted stone farmhouse is literally in the middle of nowhere, and yet is only a short drive to the Florence Siena highway in the valley below - and therein lies its charm. Surrounded by Tuscan countryside and set in gardens dotted with trees and flowers, it’s perfect for a rural escape.

Villa Francesca actually makes up one half of this property, the other half belongs to the owner's brother. That said, with three bedrooms and three bathrooms, it could hardly be classed as small.

Inside, on the ground floor, you’ve got the living room, a dining area and a kitchen. The first, with its beamed ceilings and floor tiles, is quintessential farmhouse - think pale blue sofas topped with cream cushions and a chunky-beamed fireplace.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms. There are two doubles, one with an en suite shower room, while the third smaller bedroom is normally made up as a single. But with a pull-out bed, it can easily sleep two if needed. Style-wise, they’re in keeping with the rest of the villa. Floral curtains, wrought-iron bedsteads and big wooden chests give them that country feel.

Lastly, there’s the roomy rectangular pool. It’s set in a terracotta sun terrace, which comes with a table and chairs, a parasol, and sunloungers. It’s private, but the owners who live on site do occasionally use it at weekends.
