Francesca

Hidden like a precious jewel amongst the rolling Sienese landscape of stately cypresses and wide expanses of silvery olive groves with the silhouettes of Pienza and Montalcino in the distance, is Francesca. Located on an estate with several other rentable properties (including Alberto, Gabriella and Martina) for larger groups who wish to stay in separate villas, Francesca overlooks a beautiful courtyard and is surrounded by spectacular rolling hills.

The villa has recently been beautifully restored under the guidance of an interior designer. The interior of the villa features country furniture and extensive use of decorative fabrics, elegant light fittings, attractive murals and stenciling. Modern bathrooms with lovely tiles complement well-equipped modern kitchens with travertine marble tops and hand painted tiles. The original terracotta floors, large fireplace, beamed ceilings, wooden doors and shutters of the villa have been retained.

The exterior of the home features a swimming pool, a delightful spot for reading and admiring the breathtaking view of the surrounding villages. Local shops are within walking distance. Francesca is an ideal base for touring some of Tuscany's most exquisite treasures.
