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 5km from Siena. The Estate is completely immersed in the countryside (you need a car to get to the grocery!) but is only 13 minutes to the closest supermarket and about 20 to Siena's city center.
What to expect
Villa Larniano overlooks the oldest vineyard of the estate (exactly 1ha) arranged as a garden, with a beautiful view that extend to the Val d’Orcia and Mount Amiata. The villa is surrounded by a garden with tall cypress trees and a swimming pool shaped like a lake. The villa (508 m2) has two floors and can accommodate up to 11 people: it has 5 large rooms (each one with a bathroom), triple living room with fireplace, living room with loggia, games room with a pool table, a tennis table and a table footbal and a large kitchen with a brick oven. In two rooms you can add a bed for children under the age of 12. There is a little apartment Larnia, annexed to the villa, which can accommodate 3 people. It is composed of an independent entrance with an external staircase, a kitchen/dining room, a sitting-room, a double bedroom, a single bedroom, and two bathrooms. The villa can accommodate, with the annex Larnia, 14 people.
