Like barns the world over, Villa Maria Vittoria is built on two storeys. On the ground floor are the spacious living room, featuring a double sleep sofa and plasma TV, and the eat-in kitchen. Both are joined by dramatic archways and open directly onto the garden. There is also a bathroom with shower on this floor. The kitchen is well-equipped with a brand new stove, range-top, refrigerator and washing machine. As always in Tuscany, this is the heart of the house, made even more welcoming by the original fireplace, which works like a charm. The sleeping quarters are upstairs. Here you'll find a spacious double bedroom, a panoramic twin bedroom, and a modern bathroom with walk-in shower. The twin beds can be made up to form a king-sized bed, so that this house is great for a family or for two couples. Both bedrooms face onto the house's private garden. There is a restaurant 350 yards from the house (closed on Wednesdays). The nearest town (1.5 km far from the Villa - be careful the road is very steep) is LASTRA A SIGNA .
