Capriolo - 5BR Luxury Tuscan Villa

Description from the owner

This spacious Tuscan villa rental has 5 bedrooms, all with en suite bathrooms (3 with showers, 2 with tub and hand held shower), spread out over three floors. This farmhouse combines all the luxuries of modern living with the allure of old world Italy. The inside of this 17th century Tuscan farmhouse has been completely renovated, while the outer structure remains in its original state. The stones were removed, cleaned, and lovingly placed back, adhering to the original character and design of the farmhouse. Great thought was put into the design of the villa in order to retain its original charm while providing all of the needs of modern day... living. This former farmhouse is located just next door to its renovated former barn in which the owners now reside.

Step into the huge double living room with 9 meter traditional Tuscan beam ceilings, hand carved fireplace with a chocolate travertine mantle, two gorgeous arches, open chef's kitchen and bar. Light streams through large double-glazed Tuscan windows, offering panoramic views and vistas at every turn. All of the rooms have ceiling fans, and all of the windows and doors throughout both houses are double-glazed and equipped with screens.

A guest bathroom by one of the main entrances features a toilet, sink and washing machine (sorry, no dryer - it is not necessary under the Tuscan sun). There is a TV in the living room.

The custom-designed kitchen is equipped with a large Whirlpool refrigerator, professional stovetop on a centrally located island, three-foot oven, two double stainless steel sinks, a dishwasher, and custom cabinets with black marble tops. Access to a covered outdoor eating patio with seating for 16 (not visible from the adjacent house) is directly available from the kitchen. The large formal dining room is located below grade to ensure cool temperatures throughout the summer, and is accessed directly from the kitchen by means of a ramp of steps.

The large pool (5 x 14.5 meters) is dramatically set against the backdrop of forest and distant hills among lavender, rosemary, rose bushes and other local Tuscan flora. There is ample pool furniture (seating and umbrellas) provided. Additionally there is a shaded outdoor dining area enabling one to spend leisurely moments lounging and dining in comfort.Read more
