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. |
