Villa Lucia 14
18th century Italian Villa for 14 guests
You will see Villa Lucia from the valley road that winds its way towards Siena, following the old pilgrim and trade route to Rome; a proud formal facade framed by trees high above the road on the hills of Chianti,its tall windows framed in the local sandstone.
While its core is medieval, the villa was extensively extended and embellished in the 18th century and now is a large and elegant villa for 14 guests, with a private pool in secure grounds. Stepping into the villa feels like going back into a more elegant era, with polished marble floors, antique furniture and tall stateroom windows overlooking the magical Tuscan landscape.
The villa's position is perfect for exploring Tuscany with Siena twenty minutes to the south, Florence half an hour north and the wine region of Chianti to the east. The famous medieval city of San Gimignano in close by too, and the region is rich with hilltop villages and excellent restaurants.
This is an excellent choice for a family reunion, with plenty to see and do in the area, while for those days when you'd prefer to stay at the villa, there are plenty of activities that can be organised.
Accommodation
The entrance to the villa is central and formal, and leads into a large room with stairs at the far end leading upstairs. On the right you'll find a large living room as well as an en-suite double bedroom with a beautiful fireplace in green marble.

Upstairs there is a further large living room and 6 bedrooms, all air-conditoned. Four are ensuite doubles, while two are twin bedrooms that share a bathroom. A balcony a the front of the house has wonderful views of the medieval walled village of Monteriggioni.

Around Villa Lucia
A few kilometers south is the beautiful medieval city of Siena. Known in present times for its Palio horse race and its wonderful shell-shaped piazza Il Campo, Siena was once a strong rival to Florence and a stopover must on the Via Francigena trail for pilgrims heading to Rome.
That it fell to its adversary and lived in obscurity for centuries is now only a benefit, for its winding streets and striking architecture have survived the ages to delight the modern traveller. Whether you spend hours exploring the city centre, follow the Chiantigiana out to the wine hills, or simply linger by the pool, this corner of Tuscany is guaranteed to please.

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.
