Description
This stunning villa in the Tuscan countryside has been thoughtfully renovated to combine a sense of historic style with modern luxuries. Villa Viesca, Tuscany, is one of six villas on the prestigious Viesca Toscana estate, and comfortably accommodates up to 18 people with plenty of space for everyone to gather with friends and find a little peace and quiet alone, too.
Downstairs, the huge living room has doors onto a terrace with panoramic views, providing a fabulous backdrop for parties, as well as a wonderful outlook to enjoy over a coffee and the papers. A second living room with television offers a peaceful escape for anyone who just wants to put their feet up quietly for the afternoon.
Nearby is an elegant dining room, beautifully lit in the evenings for atmospheric dinners. For those who wish to self-cater occasionally, there is also a well-equipped kitchen and an adjacent breakfast room for less formal meals.
If you’re staying in winter, there’s nowhere like the reading room, lined with books and with a roaring fire in the stone fireplace to escape to with a bottle of wine in the evenings.
The villa even includes use of a private chapel on the ground floor (ideal for ceremonies such as weddings) and a fascinating agricultural museum – not a feature you’ll come across in many holiday villas.
Step outside into the Tuscan sunshine and you’ll find a beautiful terrace looking out over the countryside and a fabulous swimming pool surrounded by loungers, where you can while away warm afternoons. And don’t forget to spend some time simply wandering among the trees and manicured gardens, enjoying the shade.
For those in search of some adventure as well as relaxation, the staff at the estate can arrange activities including cooking lessons, wine tastings, yoga, cycling trekking and tennis. Guests of the villa also have use of Spa La Corte in the estate’s grounds where you can use the gym and enjoy hydromassages, saunas and a range of beauty treatments.
However you’ve spent your day at Villa Viesca, you’ll likely end it with nightcaps on the terrace before climbing the stairs to the sleeping quarters. Further living rooms, fabulous frescoes and en-suite bedrooms, all exquisitely decorated, make this a space that’s perfect for relaxation at the end of each day and somewhere you’re sure to have sweet dreams.
