Description
Combining the peace of the countryside with proximity to medieval towns and villages, this is an informal and unpretentious villa, cheerfully furnished with bright throws and rugs, and generously sized for groups of friends or family. Forming part of the Cetinale estate, the house is set in cypress studded grounds at the end of a private road, hemmed by the renowned gardens of Villa Cetinale, with which it shares use of a tennis court. La Cerbaia is 5km from a café, restaurant and shops in Sovicille, and just 14km from the glories of Siena, but it’s tempting to simply soak-up its own leisurely tempo.
With accommodation on several levels, there are spacious living areas in both the house and garden, from the comfy sofas in the sitting room and a shaded sundowner terrace, to the open-plan kitchen /dining room and a rustic, vine cloaked pergola, where guests enjoy typically Tuscan food prepared by the cook. A stroll across tree-shaded lawns leads to a lovely swimming pool, its terracotta terrace thoughtfully furnished with smart rattan loungers.
