Villa Badia 12
Family Villa in Tuscany with Fenced Pool
Nice little touches
- The fenced grounds and fenced pool make this a great villa for families.
Good to know
- This house sleeps 12 but the twin bedroom has a low ceiling and is really more suited to children.
Villa Badia is a beautiful Tuscan villa, once a farmhouse, now restored to a high standard. With space for 12 guests and a private swimming pool with panoramic views over the countryside, it's an excellent base for exploring Tuscany or for simply relaxing and enjoying the local winemakers produce and the excellent restaurants in the area.
Arezzo, Siena and Florence are all within easy reach, as are the wine regions of Chianti and the Valdorcia, as well as Spa Towns further south.
Accommodation
The entrance leads into a spacious and well-equipped kitchen, with a central marble console ideal for preparing fresh pasta or for a chef to prepare your meals for you. A dining room adjoins the kitchen, with a beautiful luminous window overlooking the garden, and beyond this dining room you'll find the living room.
From the living-room a wide, stone staircase leads to the first floor where you will find five double bedrooms, one of which has a mezzanine floor with access to a twin room. The ceiling in this twin room is low and it is best-suited to children. There are four bathrooms overall.
Outside the villa has plenty of furnished space, with a number of shaded areas available for al-fresco dining or simply reading and relaxing, overlooking the fenced pool and the boules area.

Around Villa Badia
Once the territory of powerful feudal lords, the fertile valley of the Ambra River lies central to the Florence, Siena and Arezzo triangle; not surprisingly, throughout the Middle Ages it was land to be fought over and frequently traded hands - until the formidable Medici family did away with its influence and relegated it to the role of Florentine breadbasket.
For this the modern tourist can be thankful; the protected land and buildings seen today are not that removed from the Tuscan countryside seen in ancient frescos. There are many good restaurants and lively festivals in the charming towns and villages nearby, and with the famous tips of the triangle - Siena, Arezzo, Florence - all within easy driving distance, Villa Badia is easily one of the most comfortable and well placed holiday spots you could find.

Worth knowing
Many local administrations now charge a “Tourist Tax” for people staying in rented accommodation and these vary from town to town. The charges are generally per person per night with a maximum number of nights, usually around 5 but sometimes 7, beyond which they will not charge. The charges range between 50 cents to 3 euro. Children are sometimes included, sometimes not and these charges should be collected by the property owners.
