flora

Located in an exceptionally beautiful, lush and varied Tuscan landscape dotted with olive groves, vines, fields of wheat and sunflowers, Flora is a perfect retreat for summer holidays.
Situated where the provinces of Pisa, Siena and Florence meet, the villa is just a short distance from the well preserved historical towns of San Gimignano and Volterra. Although the property is situated in the open countryside, there is a good and traditional restaurant nearby, while shops, cafés, bank, post office and chemist’s are a few km away.
Flora is a traditional 1800 Tuscan farm house which has been recently renovated with great attention to details and now offers the ultimate facilities. The original elements such as the terra cotta floor, chestnut wooden beams and stone walls enhance the modern restoration to provide a comfortable environment.

On the ground floor, there is the fully equipped kitchen with a full range of modern appliances, a dining room and a cosy living room with comfortable sofas and satellite TV, a wheelchair friendly bathroom and one double bedroom. A stone and wrought iron stair case leads to the first floor, where are located the three double bedrooms, all en suite. Finally, a spiral staircase connects the second floor to the lounge room of the tower offering a 360° panoramic view of the landscape.
The villa has under-floor central heating and air conditioning throughout, alarm system and telephone.
Villa Flora is surrounded by a spacious 5.000m fenced in garden and offers many outdoor dining areas, a porch and a pergola where it is possible to relax on the comfortable sofas.
