Description
Medieval charm mixed with modern conveniences, Villa Sant’Anna ticks all the boxes. In this private abode, you can you lounge in a stone-walled sitting room, beneath fine paintings, feeling as though you’re in your very own castle… yet with your favourite film playing on the LCD TV and a glass of local wine in your hand?
Nature’s gifts – the amazing views and the all-pervading scents of rosemary and lavender – are perfected by high-end furnishings and finishes, including a home cinema and spa-quality bathrooms. In the great outdoors, front crawl the day away in the heated swimming pool or perfect your backhand on your private tennis court.
You can truly make the most of outdoor living here, with a well-appointed pool house and an envious view, shaded terrace for eating on and an outdoor wood oven where you can create pizzas to die for – or at least to eat in the last of the sun alongside local wines and fresh vegetables from the estate’s own kitchen garden.
On nights when you feel like stepping out from your cocoon, the estate’s ‘borgo’ is just moments away with its two wonderful restaurants as well as a luxurious spa.
