Villa Montefiori
Dating back to the 13th century, Villa Montefiori has a feeling of grandeur with its huge rooms and a superb collection of antiques and paintings, yet it maintains a very comfortable feel, full of character, which is just irresistible. Surrounded by 5 hectares of Tuscan countryside, vineyards and olive groves, Villa Montefiori has its own mature gardens, trees and an antique rose garden.
All the ground floor rooms open out onto the gardens and terrace which is ideal in the summer months. The billiard room will provide entertainment indoors whilst the large kitchen, sitting room and dining room provide ample room for all guests. Each tastefully decorated bedroom is unique and guests will love the master bedroom with its own dressing room, en suite facilities and balcony overlooking the countryside and rose planted parterre. From the huge dining room, french windows lead out to south facing terraces and the pool, overlooked by a dovecote.
The more energetic will appreciate the private astroturf tennis court and ‘bocce’ (petanque) ground and table tennis.
Villa Montefiori is the perfect base for discovering the rest of Tuscany although with a good restaurant within walking distance and an excellent cook service at the villa, guests will find it hard to leave.

Food Hamper
Can be arranged for an additional cost and service charge payable locally. For guests who are arriving late or who recognize they may be delayed and arrive with no time to do shopping. Shops are shut on Sundays, so the aim of the Food Hampers is to provide two light meals and two breakfasts, to allow guests to go out for one meal, then do more shopping on Monday. We can adapt these hampers to take into account allergies, dislikes and dietary requirements, or according to whether there are children in the party.
