Villa Sornano, Sornano - Poggibonsi - Siena and Chianti

Amid vine-cloaked hills dotted with medieval villages, Villa Sornano is a tranquil hideaway. This 5 bedroom stone villa for up to 10 people has been lovingly restored into a bright and roomy holiday home. One of it’s real assets is a beautiful enclosed garden blooming with herbs and fruit, which guests are welcome to pick in season, and in which you’ll find a refreshing private pool. Watching the sun set from the swing-chair or hammock will surely be one of your favourite memories.

Inside, care has been taken to maintain the villa’s original features, such as the wooden ceiling beams and terracotta tiled floors. Yet there’s also a stylish contemporary feel to this villa, with white walls and cream sofas. An exposed brick wall adds an attractive feature to the well-equipped kitchen, while bedrooms (of which four are en-suite) are decorated in chic, muted colour schemes.

Our Thoughts
Immerse yourself in nature from the moment you cross the threshold of Villa Sornano. The garden is a wonderful place to relax, with its own vegetable patch and numerous seating areas offering views of the surrounding hills. It’s hard to believe that peaceful haven is so close to Siena and Florence, both of which are under an hour’s drive, ideal places to get your fill of Tuscan culture.
