Villa Croce - 9 Bedroom (Sleeps 18) Villa in Siena

Description

Villa Croce is an 18th-century Tuscan villa set at the end of a cypress-lined drive and surrounded by seven hectares of fully fenced private parkland. Once an aristocratic residence, it has been carefully restored and now offers a peaceful and comfortable base for families, groups and special occasions. The property is pet-friendly, and it is also suitable for weddings (please enquire).

Inside, Villa Croce has a calm, elegant feel, with many original features preserved throughout. Frescoed ceilings, antique furniture, terracotta floors and vaulted brick ceilings give character to the interiors.

The main living and dining room on the ground floor is a welcoming central space with seating, a TV and a dining table for ten. It opens directly onto the garden through an original door. Next to it is the traditional Tuscan kitchen, complete with an ancient fireplace and fully equipped for cooking at home or for a private chef.

A second living room on the first floor offers a quieter area to relax, read or enjoy the countryside views.

Across the three floors are nine bedrooms, each with its own character and outlook. Most have private bathrooms. The top floor contains three suites, two of which include their own living areas, offering extra space and privacy. The layout works well for groups, families or several couples travelling together.

The large enclosed grounds provide complete privacy and plenty of space to relax. Mediterranean trees, lawns, pergolas and shaded sitting areas are spread throughout the garden. Families will appreciate the range of outdoor activities, including table football, a ping pong table, football nets, a children’s swing and a charming garden playhouse.

The private swimming pool measures 15 x 5 metres (depth 1.30 to 2 metres) and is open from June to the end of September. Sun loungers and an outdoor shower are provided.

There are two outdoor dining areas: a covered dining space for ten guests and a second pergola with a table for six. The first-floor terrace is a quiet spot for enjoying the views. Football nets and private parking are also available.

The owners provide a generous welcome basket on arrival, including wine, pasta, local products, beer and other essentials. A private chef can be arranged for breakfasts, lunches, dinners or personalised cooking lessons. Guests may also book yoga sessions, a hairdresser, beauty treatments and a selection of private tours upon request. Mid-week cleaning is included in the cleaning fee and covers the kitchen, bathrooms and a change of linen.
