Villa Vetrichina, San Casciano dei Bagni - Siena and Chianti

Close to where Lazio, Umbria and Tuscany meet, this restored farmhouse provides a supremely comfortable base from which to explore for groups of family and friends. Here, halfway between the lakes at Bolsena and Trasimeno, you could head for the lush rolling hills of the Val D’Orcia or the volcanic pastures of Monte Amiata and its popular spa town, Chianciano. And you’ll still have time to visit the world-famous cities of Orvieto and Perugia. Furthermore, the villa is strategically positioned to reach Arezzo, Montalcino and Montepulciano.

Where to go first is a decision you can make together around the table in the spacious ground floor dining room, or in the equally comfortable sitting room on the floor above. The interior design is the work of the owner, who lives just across the driveway. Original features, including terracotta floors and ceilings, wooden beams and large hearths, have been carefully preserved throughout, with a few modern twists. White ceilings and walls provide a canvas for colourful fabric, with many of the wood and iron furnishings having been specially commissioned from local artisans.

Your reflections could continue on the cosy first-floor terrace or underneath the two pergolas in the garden. Alternatively, take a walk in the 2 hectares of wonderful oak woodland that envelopes this property; it’s your very own private forest for relaxation and exercise. A large sandpit provides entertainment for children. 

The cottage a few metres from the villa can be used by guests as an additional entertainment area. The owner can also provide dinners and cooking classes in a private dining room at her home for the exclusive use of guests.
