About the villa
Elegant interiors | Beautiful views | Walk to a restaurant
Resident staff, cook service, huge rooms and formal rose gardens all contribute to the sense of grandeur at this historic country house. And yet the villa exudes an irresistible air of welcome, an easy tempo of relaxation, and a comfortable combination of old world charm and contemporary facilities. Almost equidistant between Florence and Siena, Montefiori stands amid five acres of vineyards and olive groves, its gardens encompassing a bocce (petanque) ground, astroturf tennis court, and the swimming pool, backed by a bank of herbs and overlooked by a tree-shaded sitting area. Beside the house, a covered terrace is furnished for al fresco dining, looking out to tranquil views and leading into the effortlessly elegant sitting room, enchanting country style dining room, and ancient vaulted billiard room. Rich fabrics, four-posters and canopied headboards feature in the six first floor bedrooms, the master suite complete with dressing room and balcony. And the house is a stroll away from a noted local restaurant La Cantinetta di Rignana 8km from shops and eateries in Greve, and within easy reach of the fast Florence – Siena road to reach Florence or Siena.
