Limonaia at Palazzo a Merse, Sovicille - Siena

1 bedroom 1 bathroom 2 people In Resort with Pool

Limonaia is a small, semi-detached, simple Tuscan villa located on one end of the building of Palazzo a Merse. Outside the large, arched French door it has a pretty, wisteria covered pergola which shades a table with two chairs.

Inside the bright and spacious villa there is an open plan room with a wooden mezzanine floor and Tuscan charm provided by the original exposed stone wall. On the lower level, immediately on entering is a sitting area with a double sofa and television.

In the centre of the room is a wooden dining table with four chairs, while a large cupboard to one side is fully stocked with crockery and cooking utensils. The kitchenette is against the far wall. It is in traditional Tuscan villa style with a travertine work surface and sink. It has gas hobs, an oven and a small fridge with internal icebox. A door to the back of the room leads out to the parking area. Behind the kitchenette is a bathroom with shower.

The bedroom is on the mezzanine floor. It is a romantic double room with a sloped wood and terracotta ceiling, while light is provided by a large window. There is an antique wooden wardrobe on the floor.

Limonaia is on the far end of the building, closest to the passing road so some traffic noise can be heard while under the pergola, however the road cannot be seen.

Clients can choose between Breakfast served by the owners the morning after arrival or a welcome hamper of local produce. Either choice is included in the rental price.

Palazzo a Merse is an antique watermill restored to an excellent standard and divided into 7 independent villas. It is located in the countryside South of Siena within easy reach of the beautiful medieval city.

In the simple, shady but pretty garden there is a sparkling pool ideal to cool off after a day of sightseeing and to relax under the warm Tuscan sun. All around the garden there is a hedge providing privacy, to the other side are fields and forest covered hills. Within walking distance from the property there is a spot in the passing river where it is possible to swim.

The property is composed of 4 rental villas, a two bedroom B&B, one permanent resident and the two apartments of the co-owners, who both reside there with their small, young families. The owners are available for assistance to guests should it be required.
There is some limited traffic noise from the main road a short distance away, however this road cannot be seen due to the vegetation around the property. The neighbour's cats often visit the property.

The pool is located in the property garden to the back of the houses. The shady garden provides plenty of shade to relax out of the sun while the pool enjoys a position in full sun. It is a slightly raised pool surrounded by a pretty stone wall and has roman steps to enter.

Near the pool and dotted around the garden are sunbeds. There are limited views due to the position of Palazzo a Merse on the valley floor and hedging around the garden. The pool is shared also with the owners and their young families.
It is 11x4 metres and 1-1.5 metres deep. It's open from April to October, weather permitting. Pool towels can be provided for an extra fee.
