Alternatively, you can dine al-fresco in the sunny garden for a delightful change of scenery. Though the home is mostly set on a single floor, is also features a small sitting room tucked away in a cozy attic space, accessible via a spiral staircase, this room can be used as extra sleeping space if needed.
At the end of the day, you may retreat to one of the two double bedrooms, each adorned with wrought iron beds and offering serene garden views. Both rooms share access to a shared family bathroom, ensuring a comfortable and restful night's sleep.
The outdoor space enveloping the villa is a haven in the Tuscan hills, featuring sweeping lawns that create a tranquil setting. Out in the garden you can take a refreshing swim in the private pool, bask in the warm sun on loungers, or enjoy al-fresco dining under the shaded gazebo. The garden provides a peaceful escape, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the Tuscan landscape.
In close proximity to Villa Farneta, you have access to countless sleepy villages, historic castles and country lanes where you can take long walks and access scenic hiking areas.
