Podere Lornanino 6, Lornano - Monteriggioni - Siena and Chianti

This beautifully appointed apartment on the first floor of a stone villa in Siena, perfectly combines elegant interiors with relaxed outdoor living. Two double bedrooms and a twin offer ample space for six in this large, light-filled property. The interiors are immaculately presented, from the pristine kitchen and antiques to the pretty wrought-iron beds and parquet floors in bedrooms, complemented by the pale palette of white walls and pastel shades.

Contemplate the views of the fields and olive groves from the generous terrace just off the dining room and kitchen, which is well-furnished with parasol-shaded table and chairs and a sofa and chairs. Alternatively, head to the rambling gardens below, which are dotted with pretty potted plants and trees. A cabana set with a table and chairs between the main house and the pool area provides additional space for dining al fresco. Nearby Badesse has a pizzeria and bank, or visit the equally near medieval castle town of Monteriggioni; not much further away Siena, a Unesco World Heritage Site, delights with its Gothic architecture and characterful districts.

Our Thoughts
This attractive apartment shows that living on one level brings its own merits to a holiday property with the added advantage of well-tended grounds with two covered areas with tables and chairs, sunny spots for sunbathing or enjoying the views under the shade of a tree. This is one of those properties that offers so much that guests find it hard to step away for long although the location, so close to attractive hamlets, towns and cities means it’s easy to do so.

Notes
Three bedrooms. Two bathrooms. There is an apartment on the ground floor, which is unoccupied when guests stay. There may be some noise from the nearby country road and vineyard. The owners have a lovely restaurant just 100 metres from the villa. Bottega di Lornano. It is possible to have a cooking class togehter preferably on a Monday, please make a reservation before you arrive. There is an air conditioning unit between the lounge and dining areas.
