Villa Cetinale

Designed by the architect Carlo Fontana, in the Roman Baroque style, this magnificent villa was built in 1680  for Pope Alexander VII — Fabio Chigi. This luxurious property has  beautifully appointed bedrooms and bathrooms on several levels and a gracious sitting room is the centre piece of the house.  The services of a House Manager and chef serving a wide variety of traditional Tuscan and Italian dishes and daily maid service add an extra level of luxurious leisure.
Outside, there is a games room with table tennis and table football in the Limonaia and a tennis court. Guests have exclusive use of the famous private garden and holy wood, with statues and animals carved by Giuseppe Mazuoli.  This idyllic retreat is ideally situated for sightseeing, shopping, eating out or just relaxing in the beautiful Tuscan countryside. It is just 14 kms from Siena and other interesting excursions can be made to places such as the little-known beautiful Romanesque cloister at Torri,  the working monastery of Monte Oliveto or the ruined Cistercian abbey at San Galgano.  The property is also a superb location for a Tuscan wedding.
