The place
Villa Saveria L is part of a medieval hamlet located on a tableland (300 meters
or about 984 feet above sea level) in the heart of the Senesi Hills. It is
surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. You will be in the middle of the
region where the Chianti Colline Senesi is produced. You will arrive in the
place after going through a long way framed by high cypresses leading to a wide
area where you will see four beautiful buildings in stone. Amidst and around the
buildings are green lawns, high pine and oak trees, and several flower beds and
hedges well-cared for. One part of the area is equipped as a playground for your
kids to play, right on a beautiful green lawn delimited by hedges.
The stone houses, wisely restored, boast all the fascination of Tuscan rural
architecture, with loggias, terraces, outdoor staircases, and lovely courtyards
distributed among the houses and providing outdoor spaces where one can
pleasantly relax.
From any place in the hamlet you will feast your eyes on a horizon of small
green hills intercalated as waves of an ocean: it is the sweet scenery of the
Senesi Hills, many times reproduced by several artists.
The atmosphere you will be involved by is that typical of the Tuscan countryside,
which has infatuated many visitors. Get ready to enjoy a vacation of pure
relaxation!
You will easily be able to take turns at visiting the splendid cities of art or
the historical hamlets nearby: you can begin with Florence and Siena and then
head to San Gimignano and Monteriggioni (16 km or about 10 miles away), Volterra
(30 km or about 18.6 miles away), among other places.
The stone buildings of the hamlet are subdivided into 12 small vacation
apartments which share the use of the swimming-pool and the sun-drenched area.
In addition, every apartment has its own private outdoor space furnished with
umbrellas, a table and chairs. A portable barbecue is available upon request.
The proprietors of the hamlet produce great wine, which can be purchased in the
place.
Also available to guests is a small vegetable garden, where you can personally
pick seasonal vegetables.

The house
