Villa La Fiana
About This Villa
Villa La Fiana is a restored ancient farmhouse deep within the countryside between Florence and Siena. Sitting within a vast estate dotted with vineyards, olive groves and a working farm, the villa is a restful escape that offers stunning views over the Tuscan hills.
The interior of Villa La Fiana is full of character and history. In the main villa, you will find five bedrooms and bathrooms, with three twin bedrooms (beds can be joined) featuring their own bathroom, making Villa La Fiana ideal for a larger family group or two families. Pieces of antique furniture and paintings with a rural theme complement the whitewashed walls, wood beams and terracotta floors to perfection.
The living room is home to a large corner sofa for relaxing after days spent exploring the history, beauty and culture of the local area and beyond. One of the most striking features of the room is the grand fireplace. On balmy evenings, open the doors that lead out to a loggia.
Enjoy meals in the dining room, the spacious and quirky kitchen, or outside under the cover of the main loggia. This is set within the expansive grounds that Villa La Fiana boasts, including lush gardens and a private pool. Seating areas are designed for relaxation and taking in sweeping views of the Castle of Santa Maria Novella and over to the towers of San Gimignano.
The English-speaking caretaker lives on the premises in the adjacent second farmhouse. He will greet you when you arrive. He is on hand to answer any questions, give you information about the region, and allow you to taste wine and olive oil. He has also created a vegetable garden for the guests.
The walled medieval town of San Gimignano is just a 40-minute drive away, with the cities of Florence, Siena and Pisa all within or just over an hour's drive from the villa. All offer centuries of history, culture, and art to discover, whether it's within lively piazzas, majestic churches, or contemporary galleries.
