Casa Biondi, Tuscany

Description

As typically Tuscan as olive oil and cypress trees, this luxury villa with swimming pool on the edge of an exclusive estate is the perfect backdrop to a relaxed holiday with friends or family.

The mellow stone building sits in its own land and has been designed to allow for as much outdoor living as you like, with beautiful outside living and dining rooms under shady pergolas, and a pool that has its own well-appointed pool house so you can spend entire days relaxing there.

Inside, the luxury villa sleeps ten comfortably and has contemporary-rustic living spaces that offer cool shade and plenty of comfort. The living room wingback chairs and sofas are gathered around a welcoming Tuscan fireplace, and a refectory-style dining table allows you all to eat inside together if you wish. There’s even a reading room where you can while away an afternoon in the peace and quiet with a pile of books.

There’s a feeling of real peace here as you look out over rolling hills and forests, yet you’re only a pleasant stroll away from the main ‘borgo’, church and castle of the Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco estate, with its restaurants, sauna, steam room, and other facilities.
