The villa has been recently renovated to a very high standard and is divided into two separate floors. The furnishings are in keeping with Tuscan tradition including some antique pieces and modern comforts of satellite televisions, and internet access have been added. Each floor has a large living room with inviting sitting area, cosy fireplace, dining area and fully equipped kitchen, and there are also three comfortable bedrooms and shower rooms (3 on the ground floor and two on the first floor).
In addition there are also two lovely annex buildings which also form part of the accommodation, one, next door to the villa can accommodate a single person (or two children), the other, by the pool, is on two levels and can accommodate up to 4 persons, each annex also has its own kitchen/dining area, bedroom and shower room and are very prettily furnished in the same country style of the villa.
Surrounding the villa are spacious gardens with lawns, where there is a large private swimming pool (16m x 8m) enjoying a beautiful view of the countryside and the wooded hills. Close to the house is a converted a hayloft where there is large dining area with fully equipped kitchen, pizza oven, barbecue and a shaded outside terrace. Perfect for the whole party to prepare meals and dine al fresco together.
The estate has marked wood trails, perfect for a leisurely walk and there is also a tennis court and fishing lake. Parking is in the grounds. The picturesque towns of Poppi and Bibbiena with shops and restaurants are close by and Florence and Arezzo are within an hour’s drive
Note: the two apartments each have their own entrance and are not interconnected.
Also on the estate is a further private villa with swimming pool which can be rented together with Villa Lakeside to accommodate larger parties (see No 54 Villa Country)
