A TUSCAN TREASURE - AS FEATURED IN CONDE NAST TRAVELLER MAGAZINE, APRIL 2008 - FANTASTIC VENUE FOR EXCLUSIVE WEDDINGS AND VERY SPECIAL EVENTS

Formerly an Etruscan residence with three towers of which only one remains, this 17th Century Villa has been an architectural treasure for generations. This site has been witness to more than two thousand years of historic events.

The Villa has been carefully restored preserving its noble appearance, resulting in a timeless style and grace. As well as being a superb location for a fantastic Tuscan holiday, La Rocca is the perfect setting for Weddings, Banquets or other Grand Occasions.


Accommodation Details
In the house there is the most enchanting double aspect drawing room, with an open marble fireplace. A splendid hall leads through to a large and well equipped kitchen, a laundry and cloakroom. Double doors lead to a large Roman style dining room with French doors to the terrace and garden.

From the hall a grand staircase in travertine marble leads to a gallery landing on the first floor. From this landing there are four large double bedrooms, all with fabulous en-suite bathrooms.

Another flight of stairs to the second floor leads to a large library/study with satellite TV and DVD. On this floor there are three more double bedrooms, all with luxury en-suite bathrooms.

In every room there are many original antiques and fine fabrics. Exquisite décor and attention to detail has resulted in a unique and quite splendid property.

Fantastic venue for weddings and other special events.

Outside Facilities
The villa occupies a dominating position above the delightful small town of Cetona. This is one of the lovliest and best known hamlets in the entire region, surrounded by beautiful Tuscan countryside and overlooking the Chiana Valley. Of the original three towers, today only the principal one remains, forming the central part of this 17th century Villa. The entire environment gives a feeling of tranquility and past splendour.

When entering through the gates there is an arcade-like driveway leading to an Amphitheatre with various stairways to the house and garden. The delightful swimming pool is made from travertine stones from an ancient Roman bridge. Amidst the park-like gardens there is a profusion of flowering plants, olive groves, and great trees, all creating an extraordinarily tranquil atmosphere. Once in the grounds of the Villa, the town is out of sight and the views are of stunning countryside.
