Villa Laurenzi
About This Villa
Nestled amidst the rolling hills and vineyards of an expansive, private estate, you will find Villa Laurenzi. This pastel-hued palatial villa is one of a handful of homes within the estate and can sleep up to 20 guests in comfort. During your stay, you can spend time visiting the on-site spa, restaurants and sporting facilities and also drive out to some of Tuscany’s amazing cities such as Arezzo and Florence.
Set over four storeys, this 19th century villa has all the space you could need for a holiday with a larger group. Those travelling with the extended family or with a wider group of friends will enjoy the brilliant facilities here and the vast, tranquil grounds. The house overlooks the rest of the estate which includes a hamlet of buildings which are home to a selection of artisan shops, two restaurants, a bar and a spa. With only a few neighbours, expansive gardens and agricultural land around the house, this is the perfect place to stay for a country escape, with all of the facilities of a boutique hotel.
The whole house has been carefully and tastefully decorated in the style of the early 1800s, when the house was constructed. Each room has sumptuous décor with in-keeping furnishings and wallpaper. You will feel as if you have stepped back in time as you enter this beautiful villa. The facilities here are not outdated however and the house has Wi-Fi, air conditioning, flatscreen TVs and fantastic fitness equipment.
The home starts on the lower ground floor where you will find a wine cellar, a fully-equipped gym so you do not have to miss out on your usual workouts and a billiards room. There is also a huge indoor swimming pool on this floor as well as an inviting sauna. The ground floor is the social heart of the villa with a large living room, a dining room and a fully-fitted kitchen. There is also a smaller TV room which would be an ideal hang-out for the kids.
The bedrooms of Villa Laurenzi are spread out over the two remaining floors; a first-floor mezzanine and the second floor. There are ten bedrooms in total, all of which boast en-suite facilities and each have their own colour palettes and design features. If you do not require the full ten bedrooms, the home can be rented as a six-bedroom villa too, so it can be tailored to your needs.
Outdoors, the villa is enveloped by private gardens; one formal, Italian Renaissance garden with lovely planting and a water fountain and another which is more wild in appearance, with a private swimming pool and outdoor dining spaces. Guests can also access over 1000 hectares of vineyards, woodlands and private land within the estate.
When staying on this estate, guests will have plenty to see and do! You can dine out at the fine dining restaurant or the more laid-back eatery, followed by drinks at the bar. You are able to take part in wine tastings, truffle hunting walks, cookery classes, horse riding and let go of the stresses of day-to-day life by indulging in some me-time at the spa.
You can also access the brilliant sporting facilities such as tennis courts, a golf course, hiking and cycling trails and classes such as yoga classes. Kids are also well-catered for here with countless activities tailor-made for the little ones. It is hard to imagine a better place for a family break.
When you wish to see more of Tuscany, you have open countryside on your doorstep, charming villages within a few kilometers and the cities of Arezzo and Florence are easily accessed by car!
